Hi Marilyn!
If you look on the right side of ...LOL! Hi Marilyn!<br />If you look on the right side of our blog you will see a new gadget called Featured Post. It links to my post with the recipe for the Golden Ginger Cake. I don't like fruit cake but this is the BEST recipe ever, filled with candied ginger, pecans, pistachios and golden currents in a lovely golden batter with orange zest and vanilla essence. After it is cooled it gets a bath in Grand Marnier a couple of times! MMMMMMMmmmmm!!!!!!<br /><br />Is Mick on FaceBook? There is a FB group called Total Knee Replacement UK. I was referred by Graham on NB Matilda rose/Peniche Francoise. It has been a gold mine of info and very helpful. Also give him my email and we can converse about things. <br /><br />We haven't walked in the park but hopefully we will! As for crazy-- in my 20's I used to have a saying, " YOu have to do Insanity all week so you can go home and do sane on the weekend!" <br /><br />Love and Biggs Huge hugs to you and David. May you have a good holiday, however you choose to celebrate!<br />Love Jaq and LesxxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-9981070375322103812015-12-18T09:59:34.290+00:002015-12-18T09:59:34.290+00:00Hi Carolyn,
Well thank you! It isn't too diff...Hi Carolyn, <br />Well thank you! It isn't too difficult for me to get things organized as Tesco usually delivers my groceries and I am just fixing for me and Les. We don't decorate the boat or do presents--we are each other's present! I think it is all far more difficult out there in "civilization"! Fingers crossed that your daughter produces a delicious Turkey and your holiday is fabulous!! <br />JaqxxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-27559853883872184172015-12-17T19:16:18.105+00:002015-12-17T19:16:18.105+00:00Good morning from NZ!

Have you been into the large park nearby? Probably best wait for that until your knee is well mended but it is a lovely long circular walk that I am sure you two would enjoy - Julia and I did it while David and Mick (well, Mick really) did DIY stuff on our boat.<br />Fourthly: love and hugs to you both, stay warm, safe and happy - and don't be too sure that you are deluded in thinking you are maintaining sanity by being busy, girl - I think THAT train departed some time ago ...<br />M&DxoxMarilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-88129085428714910832015-12-17T18:24:13.686+00:002015-12-17T18:24:13.686+00:00Hi Jaq

Hope you have a great Christmas, you are so organised you put me to shame! No food shopping done yet as I HATE supermarkets, but as we are limited in Tewkesbury for shopping will have to peruse the aisles. Thank goodness day off Christmas Eve. Have been summoned to the children for Christmas day, hope daughter remembers to get the turkey out of the freezer, last time we went she forgot! <br />Take care<br />Carolyn.
