I've just discovered Match of The Day Top 10 on YouTube.
Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, ripping the piss out of each other.

A must watch for the footy fans :D

Ace day with couch, millemille and crust
Was brilliant. We did what is I think the Ladybower route with Potato Alley and some farm climb.

It's so so alien to me riding stuff like that and takes a while to get your head around the rocks.
Stopped for a beer

That's 20 miles from my house, I could have come and said hello... if it wasn't for this dashed idleness.

I went to the boulangerie this morning - partly to chat with the bosses as they are closing today till summer and partly cos, once they close, I don't get to have Mille Feuille :( :( :(

So, asked for one of those (I say it about as well as I write it!!) and chatted with the lady boss about all sorts of things :D :D She wants to have coffee and try and speak more english so I suggested she and I have coffee in the summer season with another lady (runs a bar in Centre) who also wants to talk more english. (So cool that I speak enough French to chat with these girls/ladies and that they are comfortable with the idea of having some english conversation!!!). Then she gave me a box of macarons :wub: :wub:

So lovely of her :wub: :wub:

I lived for years under the impression that Lardy Cake was a norvern thing, it just sounds like it should be with a name like that. But no, that particular artery clogger is from my homeland of Shandy.

I made it with left over goose fat once. That was a decadent cake :thumbup:
