SueC Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I do miss you all. Hopefully we will get the internet connected this week, we have applied for the phone and internet and are now patiently waiting! well maybe not so patiently! There are somewher around 6000 posts to read and catch up on so i will be busy. But that will have to wait. We have been spending some time each weekend picking blackberries from an area called the common, sounds quite British! But it has been fun and I have frozen about 7 kilo (15-16 lb) plus made some jam. Now I just need to find out how to turn some into pie filling ..... Time is up - lunch break over, so till I get back here's a big for all you lovely people Link to comment

SueC Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 It is not fair. I have been patient but it was so good to know that I would be online again soon. But a call this morning, late April before they can connect the phone and therefore the internet as the cables are badly damaged and have to be repaired, which means digging under the road etc. So now I am still in limbo... The package!!!!! well it was from dogmom4 and it was the cutest little Christmas decoration, a thimble with pins in it, which really suits me! As for the Blackberry pie, I am thinking I will add syrup to the berries to can them. Then when I make the pies I will add a little cornflour to thicken it up a bit. Hopefully we can go out again this weekend and get heaps more. In the mean time we have looked around the district a bit. It is amazing countryside. We are on a ridge, and to the west of us there are mountains, just incredible rocky landscapes. And we went on a whim so didn't have a camera. But next time, camera at the ready! The neighbours are wonderful. The ones below have cows and calves (Dexters) and a lovely vegetable garden that they keep sending over produce from. On one side the neighbour came over and met DH and offered him the use of his rather extensive workshop (and help if wants it!). So it is duck in and try to catch up, but mostly in and out. Till next time (whenever that might be) ... Link to comment
Nett Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 So sorry things are going so rough as far as the internet. Sounds like you have found a wonderful new home. Congradulations!! Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ah Sue, I'm sorry to hear about the internet thing...I'd hate to not be connected for so long. But, I'm glad you finally got your Christmas ornament...all the way into February! lol! Your area sounds beautiful. Hopefully we'll get to see some pictures soon. Link to comment
mommato3boys Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Oh bummer Look on the bright side at least when it is done you will have new cables and all. Just keep checking in when you can. Link to comment
