I'm going to miss Liverpool Football Club especially after watching them Tuesday night, there is not a greater feeling than sitting in the KOP, singing all your songs and winning, did I not mention we are Champions of Europe again !!!!

Ah, but at least you won't have to pack your own shopping.

Plus, they have home shopping as far as I am aware.

I'm going to miss the snow. Not that we have it often down here in the SW, but I do love it.
Crumpets .......they are my absolute favs but sis-in-law says no crumpets to be found in Sydney. I think it's a nasty lie but I couldn't find any last time we were over there.

Blackbirds.....being woken by Kookaburras at dawn is, let's face it, not quite such a gentle experience.

M&S Footglove shoes.....so soft, so comfy. so sad. But a Nicky-must-have.

Ahhh, the youth of today - so cultured, so well-behaved and so lacking any kind of decent dress sense!!

I think you might find that the picture is actually from London Zoo's ape enclosure, still close enough to Romford, I suppose.

Hi , Don't worry , it is a nasty lie.
English crumpets , the kind you put in the toaster , can be found in WOOLWORTHS .In various different shapes as well ! HOWEVER , Scottish crumpets , the kind you spread with butter and jam and roll up into a long tube cannot be found on the shelves. Have to substitute a pancake!
All the best,
Tass.
