Marmite Cheddar?!?! Does it live up to expectation? Dark salty cheesy goodness all in one package - fabness!

And I'm glad to know that at least part of the pressy has arrived. Maybe shouldn't have sent the parcel via Eldarion - he's wont to get distracted by the lower levels, you know... Hopefully it'll turn up tomorrow. It's not exactly wildly exciting though. Apologies again for the drunken tree poetry, but it comes with much love and no rottage.

Pigs and goats and ducks and hens will be the order of the day in Slash Cottage of course. And maybe a cockrel named Keith as well. All cockrels should be named Keith. And speaking of cockrels, what a fine piccy that is of Paul contemplating his large sausage.

Happiest of Birthday Salutations once again!

Ohhh, the marmite cheddar...it's all MINE, due to the fact that Hubster's more of a Bovril man, and it is delicious. And the drunken tree poetry made me laugh! The stertificate is propped up on the bookcase for all to admire.

I thought so much of Slash Cottage at the show yesterday...Hubster and his large sausage...*phnarr phnarr* is Gloucester Sausage through and through!

It was a wonderful day :)

The human pyramid was really rather slashy...Hubster pointed out that there WERE some women in there, and I pointed out that you couldn't tell at a distance so could he stop ruining the mental picture, thanks ever so...

We'll be off to the Frampton Countryside show in September as well. Huzzah! More food tents and marmitey cheddar. It's soooo good.

And believe me, there WILL be brolly pics. i watched the DVD this evening and it's so well copied (doesn't talk or fly though, dammit...)

Great pics and thankfully a sunny day...Marmite Cheddar probably toasts wonderfully.
You know you can tell Keith is a British cockerel because he goes clockwise. US and European carousels go anti-clockwise. That's your trivia for the day.

And that is a corking bit of trivia at that! I shall tell Hubster when he gets back in from work. Do we know why they go t'other way about, or is it just contrariness?

Mmmm. Toasted marmite cheddar...i think I feel the need for some experimentation...will report on how it tastes.

No, there is actually a reason. The original carousels were rough wooden affairs used to train young men to use a lance before trying the same thing on a horse. Most people are right-handed so they turned anti-clockwise to have the right hand and miniature lance to the outside in order to spear the ring on a hanging gantry as you went past. Some European and US carousels still allow you to do that and 'the brass ring' is fairground slang for a cheap prize (you exchanged it for another free ride ( ... )

Of course I am, I'd fallen out of bed not three quarters of an hour earlier and being me, couldn't be arsed to find a white or paler coloured one...

Piggies rock!

Piggies rock!

They do indeed. I'm more than happy to eat a nice bit of organic free-range properly-reared animal that's had a short but thoroughly enjoyable life and a swift death, because if we all went veggy they'd have no life at all because there'd be no need for them. And don't get me started on quite what it is the hill farmers are going to grow if they all have to go arable... *fumes*

A perfectly beautiful picspam, apparently immortalizing an utterly magnificent day -- which, I might add, is precisely what you deserve. Parenthetical thanks to Nienna for citing the black bra, which I found thrilling but also frustrating because, being a guy and all, I could never have been the first one to mention it. Thank goodness the stacked up biker-boys were there to distract me! AND the cheesy marmite, which remains an enigma in my benighted life. AND, last but not least, the adorableness of UK Paul.

Thanks, m'dear!

Oh, and I'm so VERY chuffed that you like the brolly. Just so you know, I've got one of my own and I can hardly wait for the rainy season!

It's meant to rain tomorrow, HURRAH!! I mean, 'blast...'

I'm taking it wherever I go in the car and I love it *snogs*

Oh, is this black bra thing going to be another Knicker-type incident?? Oh, the biker boys were lovely, but nobody was as lovely as the Hubster.
