Soup


Good Morning Siri
Oh it's Thursday today is it? Thank you !
That's good...for I'm at work today!
6am bucket of coffee time

I didn't watch any movies yesterday a first for me
I painted and then started to sculpt my chess set figures out of clay

It was a good nite for tv btw
The Repair Shop ( why is this programme so emotional?) 
And The Great British Sewing Bee
Don't you love Esme?




Yesterday I made far too much soup . I left Hattie some last night when she returned Mary and this morning , before my commute, I will drop a pan off for Marion And John who live in the centre of the village . Marion had a fall a few days ago, something that was picked up and reported upon by the street wardens..the couple have supported the village well over the years

What goes around ......eh?

  3. The repair shop is a wonderful programme. I looked up where it is filmed and would love to visit.
    Lovely to have villagers rallying round.
    I like your soup container X

    1. It's well worth a day out Penny. I posted a few times about visits there on my old blog.

      This post has links - https://ournewlifeinthecountry.blogspot.com/2016/07/living-as-it-was.html

      Although when we visited the barn they use for the Repair Shop was just a big beautiful empty space.

  4. Last night's Bee was fun. I like the 1940's gal. And I was quite partial to a couple of the surfer dudes in the shirts.

  6. I watched The Repair Shop last night for the first time (I don't usually watch TV). I can see now why so many people enjoy it. I must try the Sewing Bee too as I have just taken up sewing again to pass the time.
    Can you send me some of your leftover soup if there's any going spare?

  7. There is a lot of love around at the moment isn't there and it's all making me feel more emotional than ever x

  8. I love Esme! She wears some marvellously outrageous jewellery, I especially liked the necklace she had on. Patrick is a bit of all right too.

  9. I have never seen The Repair Shop. People tell me that it is inexplicably entertaining. They also say that I should be on it.

  10. I am in the 'love Esme' club too and yes Judith - her necklace last night was brilliant - agree about Patrick too - it is often hard to look at the contestants when he is around! So far I have agreed with the choice of who leaves.

  11. Oooooo I do love The sewing bee and wish I could sew - how lovely would that be! Wish I lived in your lovely vilage John x

  12. Supporting one another, is what makes it a village and not just a collection of houses and shops.

  13. Lovely of you to share your soup, I'm sure Hattie as another tired NHS worker would have truly appreciated it. The soup and the thought :-)

  14. Have never watched the Great British Sewing Bee. I feel so out of the loop... and so completely uncool.

  15. I am up tonight couldn't sleep. It is 4:30 and I see the light from the sun coloring the the clouds that are in back of Thimble Peak. It is already 73 and zooming up to 103 today.
    It is so different and much fun to read the early posts and comments. Your soup sounds so lovely.
    I would like to see the Great British Sewing Bee but we do not have it here.
    Take care and be safe.

    So nice that you live in a close and caring village, but is it as good as it sounds?

  17. Love Sewing Bee and Repair Shop. I wish I had kept my gran's old cuckoo clock that was in pieces in a box, they would have been able to fix it for me.

  18. Sewing bee? You are 'avin a larf ain't you me old china? I know bees can make honey but surely they can't sew... can they?

  19. What has happened in the field behind your house? Was anything built?

  20. I don't know "The Repair Shop." I'll have to look into it. Bravo for reciprocating on the soup!

    We had a couple of the Repair Shop series in the US, and I want more! Hope we start getting The Great British Sewing Bee, too, as that's right up my alley.

    How kind of you to share your delicious soup, John.

    Hope work is pleasant and not too busy tonight.

    We have a rainy day here and I plan to sew triangles onto paired Flying Geese after I swim next door to cook lunch for DS2.

    Hugs!

  23. It's the soup and the thought that counts! What good neighbors you are.
    I've been watching The Repair Shop on Netflix and I hope we get the next season! I love it. I love the restorers and the objects they restore. Side note: That Will Kirk is a dishy young man -as even an old lesbian can attest!
    We don't have The Sewing Bee, but I'd watch it if I could...

  24. Everyone loves getting soup!

  25. We get your Repair Shop here in New Zealand and love it.

  26. I'm sure the soup was appreciated John, will you be using a mold of some kind for the chess pieces sounds quite difficult.

  27. The Repair Shop is the only show that Miss Chef and I enjoy equally. I once saw a commenter online say they also refer to it as "Making British People Cry," which I find hilariously apt.

  30. Haven’t you heard about United hacking company blank ATM card and how other people had benefited from it? I am Leah Hart by name, i want to share a blog and forums on how to get real blank ATM card,thank to united hacking company who helped me with an already hacked ATM CARD and i was so poor without funds that i got frustrated. One morning as i was browsing on the internet, i saw different comments of people testifying of how united hacking company helped him from being poor to a rich man through this already hacked ATM CARD. I was skeptical if this was true, i decided to contact him to know if he is real he proved to me beyond all doubts that its was really for real so i urgently receive my blank ATM card. Contact them on email: unitedblankatmhackcard@gmail.com and today am also testifying on how united hacking company helped me. I never believed in it until the card was sent to me, which am using today Contact the company now and become rich. Email: unitedblankatmhackcard@gmail.com
