Well .. the extra tramadol has given me a boost I must say .. albeit my mouth feels like the bottom of a bird cage it's so dry.

Picking up a Bird's Pork Pie later .. they only do them up in the North of England so Mike's Dad who is down south, misses them as he loves their taste. Last time we went we only took a medium one as we didn't think he would be able to manage much ... we thought at least he could have a tiny slice.

He sat there in the garden in utter bliss saying "This is heaven" .. and ate the LOT !

They sell out really quickly so have rung down and explained the circumstances and they have very kindly saved me one to pick up later once my night time meds have gone through my system. (I don't like to drive too early)

So Glad
 

You are feeling a mite better today Saffy. And being able to get out in Tootle to pick up the pie for Dad must feel good! Have a safe drive!

Caring!

Pondering "Bird's Pork Pie"...and wondering if there is a parallel universe in which there exists a "Pork's Bird Pie"...and what would happen if they ever met...these time/physics/spatial theories always make my noggin hurt.

Anyway, glad you're feeling better, Saffy.

Hi Karen,

I think that contemplating things like that would make anyone's noggin hurt alot. I'm glad the extra tramaadol is helping, why suffer if you don't have to.

I hope the drive to Eastbourne doesn't hurt too much for you. Me thinks an extra tramadol might help there too.

Enjoy the pork pie, I think I've tasted it once!

Take care hun

Sinead :) xxx:)

Ray loved his bit of Pork Pie. Yay.

I am presently lounging in a lovely bed and breakfast in Eastbourne .. Two minutes from the pier and sea. Just about to go get showered and ready for my full English breakfast .. Yum yum.

Popping back for a couple of hours today before making our long way back home.

It's so good to hear the sea gulls in the morning .. And there is something so exhilarating and wonderful about the sea that totally re charges. My batteries.

The Lull of the Sea
 

Hi Saffy- SO glad you have been able to enjoy the sea, glad as well that Ray enjoyed the Pork Pie! So, I reckon Bird's is the brandname of the Pie. Perhaps there was a bit of confusion about Bird's Pork Pie. We are gonna have to throw a BBQ at your place sometime so we might sample Pork Pie!

Hope your breakfast was truly fulfilling!
May your trip back be easy,

But was there bubble and squeak for the Full English Breakfast? Were there those broiled tomatoes? I like those too. But you can keep any of the sheep kidney variations as well as the black pudding.

Laughter, Good for the Spirit!
 

You, my friend, cause laughter and smiles similar to another dear friend on these here threads. Having had kidney, I do understand the hesitation, but black pudding...... I must admit you have me there! :ROTFLMAO:

Mark56:D

Saffy great to hear you have had a few days away at the sea...how wonderful....I hope you have had a good journey home, I know its not easy, believe me I know;)

Black pudding ewwwwwwwwwww cant stand the stuff, nor the broiled tomatoes either :D
