Love it – I once hired a floor sander and the pictorial instructions seemed to prohibit using it to surf across the floor whilst holding a toddler….

Hi again, Stephanie, Just to say thanks for your nice comments on my blog yesterday and I’ll contact Karen, our local llama-lady and check it’s OK to put you in touch.
Think the weather’s changing at last – but temperatures worthy only of March, not June.
Best wishes,
Vanessa

Gingerly is the word all right! It’s a frightening looking piece of machinery.

It reads like a dyslexic nanny state propoganda booklet.

And we certainly need cheering up. Our weather stats show this year so far is easily the worst in our 13 years. Every single month except February (unusually fine) has been either the worst or almost the worst over that period.
I hope you will be suitably gingerly when operating this machine, especially when winter whiffing on the ice (no idea!).
We’ve had some lovely menu transations as well. Think I’ll post them on mine.
Happy blogging and here’s hoping we get some sun soon.

I believe that “whiffing” is an old Somerset term for drilling holes in the ice so that you can go carp fishing in t he frozen winters. I understand that it went out of general usage sometime towards the end of the last ice age!

Actually, I made all that up!

It was the “Full attention and gingerliness” that got me!

I’m sure that in most parts of the civilised world you can get arrested for for requesting some “gingerliness!”

Have fun with your new toy

All the best

Keith
