It's one of those days where you feel like something stodgy. Like a pie.

He would be very unhappy in the heat of Dubai.......I would re-home him, maybe a neighbour would look out for him. We were very lucky, my nephew stays in my house with my 2 cats and my black lab. is at my sisters alongside her black lab. in the countryside! When you return to the UK after years your adventure I would definitely recommend you get a dog to go with the wellies. X

Tessa, you're an EW tonic! If you are genuine, please come with your wellington boots, your Aga, and your Sloe Gin (haven't heard anyone talk about sloe gin for years!) and we'll show you our real Dubai, away from the malls and all you read about in the papers. I think you'll fit in just fine. ;)

Close I have done the piccalilli, green tomato chutney, cranberry sauce with port, mincemeat, Sloe Gin and quince jelly ready for Christmas. The wellington boots go in the boot room - well more of an extended rear porch really. Aga is actually verging on essential - it warms kitchen, cooks food, dries clothes and shoes, warms plates, irons clothes, sterilises jam jars and makes absolutely fabulous cheese toasties. They just wouldn't work in Dubai. No Labradors yet - we are both away too often for our respective jobs to make if fair on the dogs. We will though when we are even older. All our neighbours have dogs but not all Labradors - some spaniels, some beagles, a fox terrier and border collies. Most do have black labs though. We are wondering what about our poor, long haired, ginger tom called Paddy. He lives outside here and is employed to catch mice and other creatures. He is a very bad employee though and sneaks in front of the wood burner every time the door is opened. Should we post him out?

I'm surprised there's no black labrador involved too! And some home made pickles.

I [i'>knew[/i'> Tessa would have an Aga. Tessa do you also have a place for wellington boots at the back door, and a Barbour jacket? Bring your Barbour with you, it can get quite parky here!

There is only one way to eat fish and chips - out of newspaper! Unless you cook them yourself but I don't have a deep fat fryer and I needed something quick and warming. My husband put plates to warm in the Aga and I drive a bit too quickly to get them home whilst still warm - it's 11 miles. The warm plates mean the food stays warm whilst we eat but we put the paper on top. Tut-tut. Let's see how long it takes before you're picked on for "flaunting" your Aga... :-D

We had hot chicken soup for the whole family. The LOs were excited! First time to see what raining actually feels like!

Coincidentally, Geordie we also had fish and chips tonight. I was late back from work, it is freezing here so I decided we could treat ourselves. The high life indeed! Tessa, did you make it yourself?

Homemade broccoli and stilton soup with some crusty bread would be nice. Instead we're having tinned chilli and nachos, oh well.....
