The Witching Hour

Hidy hi Cheesies, it seems to be that time again, when I can't sleep!
Snuggled in my comfy bed at Crystal Palace Caravan Club Site, listening to the gentle hum in the background of the London traffic nattering on to you lot.
We have been to London to represent Wales at the Real Food Market on Southbank for St Davids Day. Personally I am going to look for another Pagan festival to celebrate in the summer mint he's because March is so terribly cold.
We were pitched next door to our young friend 'T' from Samosaco.(I call him the Prince of Persia) because he looks just like the Prince of the game.
Samosaco is a family run business in Cardiff , who make the most amazing Indian food: baked samosa's, onion Bhajee's and the worlds first Onion Bhajee scotch eggs, which are delicious😜.
The Real food market is held weekly from Friday to Sunday and is a mix of tantalising street food from around the world.
I met a young lady from Horn Ok Please who introduced Gerry & I to her Indian Street Food . Cooked fresh to order it was mouthwateringly good, with a mixture of spices. Colours & textures & best of all Gluten free.
It was great to be back in London again, meeting old customers & making new ones. I was surprised at how few Londoners watched the new series on ITV which went out prime time TV last Wednesday; Food Glorious Food in which 4 judges searched for Britain's Best Dish. I starred in the first episode & despite much twittering about it did not hold much interest in the Capital city.
Well it's back home tomorrow to my son Terence whom I have t seen for 6 weeks. He has been in Malaysia for 6 weeks staying with my sister Victoria & family. I have just enough time to re pack my case & then it's off to Euro Disney in Paris to represent Wales at the St Davids Day Festival out there. I have orders to take to Paris for customers we have met during the last 4 years trading at the event. We are provided with a chalet in the Disney Village & trade from 4-10pm. The rest of the time I get to play😁
We come back from Disney on the 12th March & fly off on holiday to Cran Canaria on the 16th for 2 weeks holiday.
Staying at the Teurito Princess, booked through First Choice, it's a fantastic beachside location. Hotel & food are in my opinion worth 5*
Lots of swimming & fishing, relaxation & exploring before we start our summer shows.

It's Raining- again

Well Cheesies, as 2012 draws to a close, we have enjoyed yet another thrilling wet Christmas. Our first week off work & it's been too wet to do anything except book our holiday for March.
After taking my first flight in June, you guessed it, no more washed out British Holidays. As Lady Cheddar, working so hard for my subjects during the year, I need some warm water to swim in, fishing in sunshine & generally to wake up & feel warm.
So we're off to Gran Canaria; Puerto Terito for 2 glorious weeks & then looking at Symi for 2 weeks In October.
Going into work today to do accounts.

Your nicked!!

On the way home from the hospital this morning, at about 3.45 Adam & I got pulled over by the cops doing a spot check. 'just dropped my Mrs off at Neville Hall' Adam said. 'she's in labour'. 'why aren't you with her then' said the copper. Adam replied 'cos her waters have broken & shes not got any pains yet'
The cops replied with some snarky comment
'and I'm the mother' I answered from the front. The cops back tracked, wished Adam the best & sent him
On his way. Nothing like more excitement to add to the evening

Nanny almost

After an exciting day in the garden & cycling with Charlotte & baby bump, Adam, Linda & Chloe at Byn Bach park. An Indian takeaway & watch the Olympic Finale was in order. At 1.30 I got the call from Charlotte, her waters have broken. So here I am at 1.44 am in Neville Halls Maternity unit. Waiting for Charlottes assessment.
I will keep you posted

Grandma in waiting

After 9 months In Residence. Theo has been given 24 hr eviction notice. He has a new furnished premises ready & waiting for him.
A sleepless night spent tossing & turning. Not with anticipation of the arrival of baby Theo, but from the pain of injured leg. It's been a week since Dr looked at it without much interest, gave me a prescription for some painkillers and said if its not better in 6 weeks to come back.
Off to leg club on Tuesday.
