Adventures on the moor

This weekend my Mummy and Daddy came to stay near Exeter for a few days. So Barney and I got to spend some time with them. Hurrah. On Friday they took us out onto the moor.
We had great fun climbing over Haytor and various piles of rock!! We meant to take the camera, then forgot :-( but the weather was very misty so it would not have been great picture weather anyway.
However, Daddy did spot a couple of 'letterboxes' under two of the rocks. One of these had a stamp in so we stamped a piece of paperI had in my bag and wrote our names in the small pad in the box.
Hopefully if this works, you should be able to see the yellow duck we stamped and the date and place for posterity.
Mummy says i have to look after it well, and she wants to keep it when we're done. But at least i'll have photographic evidence of our trip to Haytor.
For tea we all had yummy fish and chips from a local shop. (except Daddy who had chicken)
Then Mummy and Daddy went back to their B&B and we all collapsed into bed from a lovely but tiring climb on the rocks.

The adventures of out of date eggs!!

Thursday 18th October:
Well it all started whan Barney's housemates bought a new pack of eggs and appeared to forget the still more than half full old packet (11 eggs still remained from a pack of 15)...

Then Barney discovered that the eggs were best before the 18th and so really needed using, but were apparently being ignored by the rest of the house. (everyboday say 'ahhhhh'!!!)

So Barney hatched a rescue plan for the eggs and I got in on the act to help out. We racked our brains for all the egg recipes we could think of and to calculate the numbers of eggs needed for each.

We tried putting the eggs in water to see if they would float just to check they were still fine to eat, before using any of them. (For your info. eggs will float if they are BAD so dont eat them then!)
4 became a yummy lunch of scrambled eggs for the two of us and three were destined to become a victoria sponge.
That still left 4 to be used the next day.

Friday came and still there were eggs left. But new ideas were not far behind.
2 became a strange sort of croque-madame* for Barney and 2 more went home with me to be transformed (with several other vital ingredients!) into apple cake, described by all who tasted it as delicious!!
So at last the stock of eggs is used up. Hurrah.

Then I come home and check in my cupboards and see 3 more eggs which need using soon.
What other weird and wonderful things can we do with eggs? Will they get eaten in time or forgotten, hidden in the back of the cupboard.
I challenge you, the reader to inspire us with new and exciting ways to use our eggs.
(I'm sure we will buy some more so any suggestions can and will be tried!!)

*Check this out for yourself but i think technically croque-madame is toast with cheese and ham with a fried egg on top, but Barney had his own version with scrambled egg instead. It was quite yummy so he tells me, so perhaps i'll have to try it out and you could too!!

HELLO WORLD

Hello anyone who might be reading this. (So thats about 5 people then!!)
My sister Debs has made me set up a blog so she can find out what I'm doing here in Exeter when she goes away to Texas!!

My brain is very tired at the moment so i dont promise to make sense but i will do my best.

I will attempt to post more exciting things very soon, but this is just a hello to everybody.
One day i might even work out how to put links on my sidebar and then you can hop around the blogosphere finding other exciting people i know.

Anyway, enough waffling. Till i connect with the world again, terra.
Have a nice day :-)
