I was out running (club night). Back into the bar after 9.00, and read through the VT match thread. Much amusement from my mates at my increasingly loud whoops as each goal went in. And Leeds lost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet all three are pretty happy at the moment. West Brom top Midlands team and Sheffield united had a great season last and are doing superb again this season.

Not all of us have that much time on our hands! more a case of Victoria sponge was the traditional thing you first did as a kid at home or in home economics, it's a bit simple and boring, if I'm baking at home (not often I'll admit) I'll try something I've never had before making a cracking peach cobbler last month, spray bottle with sugar water over the crust before baking, made it crisp to perfection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise til the highlights appeared on Youtube lunchtime today. Disconnection has been my method of dealing with 10 years of decline. Thought it was quiet last night. Assumed you were all watching CL. On a better note I've been for two excellent meals in the last couple of weeks. Completely coincidentally Villa were on in the restaurant both times and we won both times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 In January it's my 10 year wedding anniversary, we always said we'd go to New York but having discussed it recently we both felt we'd not want to go that far away from the kids (7&5). We aren't the type of people to leave our children with people willy nilly, in their entire lives they have stayed at their nans house twice, 1 night each time. So, what the eff can I do? I thought about a nice hotel in the midlands, I think she'd like a modern 5* hotel with spa day etc rather than country house, then we'd probably feel more comfortable not being at the other side of the world. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? My ma always goes to Hoar Cross Hall, which is supposed to be an excellent spa, and certainly matches your description, but I don't know how much there is for you to do there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
