Hello everyone. *looks around nervously*

I used to live here. I'm like... one of those people who has moved out and then comes back again a few years later and drops in unwantedly for tea and demands cake.

...only I'm not demanding cake. Unless you have any going, of course, then I won't say no.

Just thought I'd say hi, really. Since I haven't been here in so long. Anyone actually remember me?

Hi Sarah. I can't vouch for the cake situation, but the pies are fresh, so help yourself: sweet to the left, savoury to the right.

Some of the Aussie contingent can show you how to make a rhubarb pie floater......

As one of the older newbies may I say it is always good to see some of the seniors return and hope that you find that we have not caused too much damage.

Well, we've knocked down a couple of walls and of course we've added this extension on the back, but otherwise I think you'll find it all pretty much the same.

I must say, I do love what you've done to the patio. :)

SM, I remember you, I'm fairly sure, even if you don't remember me. ;)

Pies are always good. Do we have any apple?

Yes but they are a combination of apple and leek. I think they got confused about the American Apple onion combination... <waves>

Yes, Sarah, I do remember you, but it has been a couple of years, hasn't it?

Did you go to the Ffiesta? (mrs. SkidMarks & I were there.)

Apple and Onion in combination, that is dreadful

Hello, Sarah B, my name is geg and I'm a female. I'm also a very good friend of Miss Marple and therefore always innocent.

Hello, Sarah B, my name is Valdimier. My parents named me so, because they thought Vladimir was to cheesy.

Welcome back sarah.... there's been a shift away from cakes towards pies (battenburg excepted.) Otherwise, no change ;)

Hi Sarah!

Skid: You calling yourself an older newbie is a laugh. You have been around long enough to be an old timer I reckon....

Hi Sarah, I'm CannibalRabbit, one of the Aussie Fforumites.

No-one knows why I'm called this - but at least there aren't to many others using by name - apart froma Japanese Grunge band apparently.

Apparently we're not supposed to mention Barry the Sprout God. No-one knows why, exactly.
