Kate Atkinson is a very talented writer, quirky, intelligent and always thought provoking. Can't wait to read this one. Hooray for Case Histoties on the TV too, Jackson Brodie is so well cast, riveting and not to be mixed with knitting!!

 

 Thanks for the advice as I too have dry eyes which makes them very sore and red. I think the linseed oil may help me too, I already take cod liver oil caps but I guess linseed would be compatible? Hope your eyes are feeling better day by day xx

 It's beautiful Tru, a real show stopper!!

 You are so clever Tru, the cakes look gorgeous.

 Many congratulations Marie, Oliver is a lovely name. Best wishes to all of you xx

 My BIL bought my sister 50 shades for Christmas?????. No it wasn't to perk her up, he had absolutely no idea of the content only  that it was a best seller. Was she impressed? not at all and has never got past the first few pages, she said she would have been happier with a bird feeder!!

 Pardon me while I drool, stunning Tru.

 Once the pattern is set Deborah you will be able to see if you go wrong xx

 I'm sure it looks lovely but I can't see it either
