Alice the Camel Mar 2017 10:22am, 21 Mar 2017 3,080 posts	Quote Pin Alice the Camel Thanks, Sharkie - I was umming and ahhing about booking as it's quite a way to go and not cheap. Your lovely blog way back was the decider. I'm sure I'll enjoy it! And I'll be "all grown up" (just read your blog for today!) and drive home without being wimpy about it being A Long Way in the dark.
Sharkie Mar 2017 11:21am, 21 Mar 2017 11,148 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie I have just bought duck for the first time ever. I realised I've never eaten it. Venison, goat, pheasant...but no duck. I think I've avoided it because it's fatty - but I did that with lamb for ages before I remembered the many good reasons for eating it (not least it's well tasty). I have a recipe lined up involving red cabbage, vinegar, honey and star anise amongst other things...

Velociraptor Mar 2017 11:37am, 21 Mar 2017 35,876 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor You're in for a treat, Sharkie. I'd find it hard to choose between duck and lamb as my favourite red meat.
BaronessBL Mar 2017 11:40am, 21 Mar 2017 6,360 posts	Quote Pin BaronessBL I have just let Wanda off the lead on a walk in a place where I have never done so before. It was for no more than 5 minutes and probably doesn't sound a very big deal to many people but it was a big newt for me.
Mazlin Mar 2017 11:42am, 21 Mar 2017 2,629 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin I also hate long drives in the dark. I don't think it's wimpy to acknowledge that you don't like them. Wimpy is not doing it so you miss out. Ooh, duck is yum. I haven't had it for ages. And I've never cooked it myself. (Bookmarks potential Newt for later on).
Sharkie Mar 2017 11:43am, 21 Mar 2017 11,150 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie It is a big deal, Baroness. and xxxxx to you and Wanda. All dogs (and owners) deserve off lead.
Sharkie Mar 2017 11:45am, 21 Mar 2017 11,151 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie And Maz is right, Alice. Feel the squeak and do it anyway. Or something. (And Maz, I didn't half laugh at your clubbing, not, remark earlier.
halfpint Mar 2017 12:08pm, 21 Mar 2017 22,771 posts	Quote Pin halfpint Sorry for the delay. Hectic morning. I would like to award Sharkie newt of the day for posting on a new thread. Mostly because it obviously wasn't an easy one and sometimes it's good to be out of the comfort zone.
