You can find me, as always, in Nooky Lane, giving my all to keep up with the demand for my Jammy Dodgers.

Jammy Dodgers! With that revelation, you may soon find Nooky filled with tall blue objects.

Sitting on my butt while others boldly go,
Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri.

I turn my back for a mintute and someone makes a grab for my dodgers. Now own up, who was it?

I know that beating egg whites poses no problem....I know from experience that a swift wrist action can make almost anything stand up stiffly.

I see, the guilty party will end up with jam on their face.

But I do not fret or worry, I have spent a delightful afternoon using muscles I'd never thought I'd use again.

It brought a flush to my cheeks and a rush of blood to my head, my, I do want to do that again.

Ah exercise... Goodness me, it always involves all that effortful lifting and sweating. Why whenever I try an new exercise routine with Ol' Pookers, something always comes up that is so hard!!! I'd much rather get saucy in the kitchen than sweaty in the gymnasium.

I can't agree more, you can have so much fun in the kitchen.

Well, I've had another wonderful day out.

After an early start I went to meet an entymologist friend who's been showing me his collection of winged insects.

While I was there he showed me his bees and wasps and tonight I'm hoping to go through his flies.

But before I go I've made another batch for you to try.

You know, I've always wondered whether Katydid... or didn't.

I think Sidney might have the answer to that one.

It has come to my attention that Sidney may be having a dalliance with another, I've asked him if he wished to pop his visting card throught my box. What have had I had, nothing, I hope he's got a good excuse, otherwise I'll give him winsome alright.

I know that beating egg whites poses no problem....I know from experience that a swift wrist action can make almost anything stand up stiffly.

Still no word from that vagabond, so I've been pounding away in the kitchen to take my mind off it.

Get them while they're fresh.

Delightful Mrs Miggins! So pretty too! And what a rosy and becoming glow has flushed your cheeks this sunny morn!

I am of course most downcast to learn that Mr Snodgrass is a little behind... in forwarding his felicitations I mean. *dainty frown* One can only hope his cheeks are not flushed with some peculiar malaise picked up on his travels. I find at times like these, to clear ones cobwebs, a little walk in the country with frequent rests and a treat or two to nibble upon can be extremely uplifting. And hay is SO soft in places this time of year.

May I take this opportunity to wish you a most pleasant weekend of passionate pounding, and perchance threshing too, away from the kitchen? :)

Good afternoon anniet, yes, it appears we have more chance of observing the Scarlet Pimpernel, than seeing said gentleman pop into to pass on his felicitations.

Oooh, threshing, you know I haven’t done that for years, I used to love having a good poke around in the haystack in my younger days.

I agree, at this time of year, with the Summer sun high in the sky, it can be very uplifting, those memorable smells, one scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting. That usually means I’ve not been watching where I’ve been placing my feet.

My dearest Muriel,

I must immediately put pen to paper and assuage these ubiquitous rumours permeating London Society, regarding my perfectly innocent activities with Lady acquaintances, and confirm that I am entirely monogamous in matters of the heart concerning your goodself. Indeed, I only remarked to the Concierge the other day that I fancied getting a bit of pulled pork at your emporium, and he replied "Ah, most men do Sir".

I have in fact been watching a quite tasteful performance of the Vagabond King operetta at this fine theatre house, and I fear that possibly oriental hushed tones may have conveyed an entirely different connotation upon my perfectly innocent evening out.

However I am led to believe that, backed up by photographic evidence, that you have been seen perambulating in self propelled wheeled activities with another person in close proximity working hard behind. I hope we can get to the bottom of this flushed cheeks hearsay, and in that connection I shall endeavour to place my calling card in your in-tray in the near future.

Yours in Panegyric admiration,

Sidney J. Snodgrass (Retd)

I hope you accept my heartflest appologies for being absent, in my haste to enjoying the invigorating effects of propelling myself up and down the avenue, I'm afraid I let my activities in the kitchen go to pot, so much so my pies have succumbed to a bad case of crinkley bottom.

My Dearest Lady,

I will of course be only too happy to accept both your heartflest, and indeed heartfelt, apologies for your apparently unavoidable recent absence. It would appear to be the case that you find certain outdoor athletic pursuits of an appealing nature and most efficacious. I shall therefore definitely bear this in mind when planning future al fresco activities along Nooky Lane.

I am indeed sorry to learn that you have succumbed to a bout of the Crinkley Bottom. An acquaintance of mine, one N. Edmonds Esq had a similar unfortunate experience back in the 90's, and his Mr Blobby was never quite the same afterwards, much to his disappointment.

Yours in anticipation,

As you can see, the shock of my predicament in the kitchen caused me momentarily to loose control, of the keyboard. Suffice to say I will ensure that everything that should be nice and crusty, will be.

Dear Mrs Miggins! I have been most lax in prerusing your oh so fine wares of late :( my humblest and hungriest of apologies. The delightful whiff of emanations seeping through seti's cafe are a delight to detect but it seems my nose failed to guide me with any true accuracy these past nine days. I cannot even apportion my grievous lapse of olfactory prowess upon a slight case of the sniffles, as I have throughout the time I have been dampening many a tissue, been able to detect odours of great malignancy emanating from the felines' ablution receptacles... which I subsequently have no problem stepping into. This surely indicates my guidance systems are awry elsewhere methinks...

But no matter! :) Fortunately the peculiar tic I have acquired in my right eyelid since vigorously upending my furniture appears to have provided a temporary solution to my navigation problems for which I am MOST relieved! Hence my arrival in your delectable emporium this very moment :) Whilst I am here, may I share a little titbit with you...? I do believe a number of gentlemen may have similarly been overturning their furniture of late... in fact I believe it to be quite common hereabouts. Of course, I was not there to witness it myself... *nervous giggle* that would be most inappropriate! Only... well, all the ones I have come across have developed similar tics to mine... not always their right eyelid mind... but do be careful if you come across one yourself Dear Mrs Miggins... all of them seem to possess frightful manners! My poor rear unmentionables have turned quite rosy as result :( and seating myself upon them must now, of necessity, be a most delicately managed affair. *wounded sigh*

Which brings me to enquire as to whether you have heard from Mr Snodgrass at all? :) I do hope he is well!

I got the fanciful notion I had glimpsed him hastening after some high-stepping filly and her well-laden tart cart, but my eyelid was playing up quite ferociously at the time, as were a many gentlemen's eyelids in the vicinity, so I could not be sure... but please do give him my regards when you next see him ;) :)

So you've seen that ner do well with said filly, I was hoping it was but a rumour. Rest assured someones cheeks will be all a glow when I get my hands on him.

Oh my, please beg my forgiveness, I have not apolised for my lack of response to your concerns.

I have been well, but somewhat occupied, I decided that I would not wait no longer for a certain vagabond to come calling.

Whilst on my travels I met a wonderful gentleman from Italy, he's been showing me the sights and taking me for ice cream Why the other night he showed me how to lick the nuts off a large Neopolitan.

I've been smitten ever since.

My esteemed Colleagues,

In the light of the recent disturbing news regarding my intended, I have taken leave of Blighty and travelled poste haste to Italy, where I am currently ensconced. Whilst upon my travels I took a coffee break in France, and being in mind of a nibble or two, I was quite taken by some French Fancies in a local Cafe. But unfortunately they left before I could take down their particulars.

My investigations to date have ascertained that these apparently large Neapolitans only have a very small handful of nuts to go with them, which is rather a let down considering the 99's on offer back home.

Fraternally yours,

Sidney J. Snodgrass (Retd)
