As promised...

...storm Dennis has duly arrived. On a positive note it is not my turn to take the mutt walkies. When I was a boy, many years ago, before amber warnings were invented we just called it wet and windy. 

Went to get bacon rolls at Greggs. Too late, but almost next door the bakers Fisher and Donaldson accommodated wonderfully. They had butteries! Or rowies if you are from God's own country. I love a rowie - basically salt, lard and flour. I ordered two but came back with a bag full of them. 

"They are too wee." said the lovely lady in the shop.
