As we now at the end of the summer holidays just one more seaside themed bar.
The pets may enjoy playing in the rock pools on the beach if a crab doesn't nip them.

x 2 no sugar thank you Edna.

Edna, just what I wanted!
Now that the pets are here, and all the odds and s*ds that move with each bar,
I have locked the door.
Son and DiL took their children to the seaside today (we live about as far from the sea as it's possible to be) and called in on the way home, which was lovely. They departed bearing a bag of apples and pears. I shall have to get out my cauldron (as OH calls it) and make some pear chutney.

Lovely raunds I love living by the sea
Witch cauldron would that be then
bertie I thought you had fallen asleep again
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Not at the moment Edna but I do find myself drifting off now and again
Son has been on the phone several times as they are doing the seating plan for the wedding breakfast and he's taking me out to dinner on Tuesday night which is nice of him. Just the 2 of us so I wonder if he needs a chat just with his mum.

Night night to those who have toddleddreams
see you
Evening cohorts
Nice to see Blossom drop it.
Hope she gets back to full power soon. Doesn't seem right reading the messages through of an evening and only having a couple from the Matriarch.
Feel as though something is missing.
Right, for anyone who is still there, while I go and get a real one for my dear little dearly beloved who is about to toddle off to bed

Hi Paula,does OH never make your nightime drink
bertie,
seating plans can lead to trouble so be aware that dil may have proposed something you may not like so sending son ahead to take the flak as I had a problem myself with daughters seating plans too which almost started ww3 in our household

OH has been talking to them tonight as their first thoughts was to mix up all the families so either sides were sitting together not to be now our family is having their own tables as some need help with getting about others need help with small children etc. Can't have them sprinkled all over the room.
I'm of course next to the brides father, slimey b. and OH next to tango lady.

Brides thought was to have all the children on their own tables to the side, could you imagine it, food flying everywhere from the littleones when not being controlled by their parents. She thought it would give the parents a break from the children but who was going to look after them Food fight.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Ahhhh, no, I don't somehow think so, bertie, although the policy of the day is let children do their own thing and develop their characters (look where that has led)
Ewww, good luck with slimey b
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
I wonder why only you and son though bertie.... methinks you should prepare to be bothered by it and await a bombshell.
Children all on their own table a recipe for disaster
I cant wait to hear the outcome

Children have now been re-arranged to be with their parents and the side tables will have colouring books and pencils etc so they can play after they finish eating, it will still be a bun fight I'm sure.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Anyone remember the Goodies, and the episode, the Bun Fight at the OK Tearooms?
Going by that ... no tomato ketchup
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Yes there is an order of seating for the top table as I was wondering why you had to sit apart then realised.
I sent you a message for a look up

Did it become Huntl*y and Palm*rs biscuit company Edna
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
No I found a list of biscuit manufacturers and the Palmer Brothers is listed up to about mid 50s but Huntley and Palmer were merged in 1921 with another company, but I have found an interesting site with the H&P family so just reading through it and it lengthy but not from Bristol but Berkshire.

George Palmer born 1818 in the west country, apprenticed in Taunton, I think he is worth looking up in the early census let me know if you want me to.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Hi Gang,
Ahh Huntley and Palmers in Reading as Paula knows Are you connected then Edna
Good to see Blossom in here. Keep up the "getting better" Blossom and tell your rellies sister that you are not feeling well and get her to pass on that you are not to be bothered at the moment by rellie, unless it is bunches of flowers and other assorted s
Sounds like fun the wedding Bertie
Well fingers crossed the wopsies seem to have gone now, or maybe it was too cold and wet for them out today Will keep an eye on them for a while.
Meeting up with some friends tomorrow so wont be in in the evening

Thanks for your enquiry Bertie, she is fine ( I think ) and is back at the old workplace but only part time. I think she has realised just how much paperwork comes with losing a loved one. She is going to do a sponsored sky dive for a brain tumour trust around what would have been her OHs birthday next month. Rather her than me. Enough to do to get me up a ladder Did you enjoy the Manoir I am very envious, still not got a posh enough frock to be invited there
Oops just realised the time Will have to say nighty night all and have a very happy day, will catch you later this weekend
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Good morning all and the sun is shining although not sure for how long as there are quite a few black clouds on the horizon.
Nice new bar........ I was knocking on the door of the old bar for a few minutes before I realised we had moved.
Bar set up for the day with a full English breakfast... cereals, toast, fruit juice, crispy bacon, sausages, fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, fried bread. Tea and coffee of course. For those who would prefer something lighter... toasted bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon, toasted teacakes and buttered cheese scones.
Hope everyone is well.
I am off out for lunch today so I will see you all later.

Hello friends,
I missed close last night doing dome researching of Palmers
blustery here today and many clouds between sunshine.
It is the Mathew Street Festival in Liverpool and many bands on stage all over the city centre so they may all get wet GD and friends will be there and daughter will be there tomorrow as it is a big thing in the city every year and daughter has been going for years

Thanks Edna a cuppa is very welcome as always.
Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. for anyone who needs them for any reason.
I am feeling much more like "me" today so hope I am on the way to being "normal" if "normal" could ever describe me. No pain at all so far today
Bertie, I hope you enjoy your meal out with your son and that he hasn't been sent ahead to take any "flak" that may possibly be flying about.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Hello blossom,
Good to hear you are feeling much better and more your old self again.
I have just had a call from my brother who is in Southport linedancing in the open air and he and his wife want me to join them for lunch about 4.30
I dont feel like going as I did not sleep well but have accepted now so have to go and get ready and get a bus into Southport centre so not much time so will have to close down
see you all later
Edna

Edna, I expect you will enjoy it once you get there. Have a good time.

hello again everyone. Not sure if anyone is about. I have been trying to watch WDYTYA Seb Coe on iplayer but it keeps cutting out on me.
Need a stong cuppa now as I am thirsty so if anyone is about I have brewed up.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Hello Blossom, glad you are starting to feel better now. A would be very welcome thank you.
I wasn't very impressed by Seb Coes's WDYTYA in fact I started to doze off halfway through. I am finding the new pattern of following one line is a little monotonous really and if I hear the phrase "so and so is meeting with a genealogist/expert/historian" I think I shall scream.
I have had a lovely lunch at No1 daughter's and had loads of cuddles with the new addition to the family as No1 son and family were staying there for the bank holiday.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Hello Anita, Glad to hear you had a nice lunch and lots of cuddles from the new addition to the family.
I must agree that it is not so interesting just following one line of the family on WDYTYA. I was interested to see if the Hydes in his family were connected to mine.
It took me 1 hour just to get to the part where Seb went to Jamaica.
I have had a good day today, actually managed to eat all of my dinner. That is the first time in over a week
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Glad you can eat again Blossom....strength goes in at the mouth as they say!
Not sure who is next on WDYTYA but I hope it someone who has some interesting people in their tree rather than sugar planters with lots of money.... there does seem to have been quite a few of them.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Anita, I get fed up with that too. Also the ones where the main concern seems to be if they have Royalty among their ancestors. I think Len Goodman is next.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Oooh great! Len Goodman seems as if he will have some real people in his tree!
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Anita, I believe he had an ancestor who ended up in the workhouse. That would be quite interesting I imagine.
I am going to close down now. Goodnight all. Pleasant Dreams
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Good night Blossom. Sleep well.
Link to this forum: The Crab and Lobster our new bar is open
Goodnight blossom, sleep well
I had a good lunch with brother and sil and they saw me to my bus before going for their train and they met up with linedancers from some of their groups in Liverpool as brother is a teacher of line dance.
I am so tired as I only got about 3 hours sleep last night so it may be an early night for me.
