GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER?

Yes, I have James of nourishing obscurity here! He is safe and well in sunny Sicily and I have discovered that he mixes a fine g & t! At the moment he is sitting beside me sipping a whisky and munching on focaccia bread.

And now Simi wants a word:


Hi, folks! I have got a new uncle, lo zio James. He seems very nice but he's not having my chair! xx


Happiness Finding Welshcakes

Yes, very true - Simi and I are "negotiating" the same chair but I'm sure we'll come to an arrangement to suit us both. Currently munching on focaccia bread and have one too many whiskies on board but I can tell you, in all sincerity, one thing:

Sicily and Welshcakes are wonderful, in no particular order.

James xx

  1. uh hmm....now just WHO is this gentleman that you are entertaining in your home? What are all the neighbours going to think - AND that lady who asked you a while ago why you aren't married, not to mention Signor Fantastico/Bellisimo. ;D

  13. Keep your secrets, my dearest Welshcakes:

    The Donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem said, something to the following,
    'Scarge, scourge, deride me, I keep my secret still, for I am carrying my Saviour, my lips are sealed'.
    Can't quite substantiate that, because I've never really encountered a Donkey with sealed lips... Hee Haw, Hee Haw,

    Love to you and Simi and your friend James from Di, Ian and Chloe.

    Should you wish too e-mail me Leslie has my address. xx

    P.S. I've posted a bit of pre- holiday silliness on my site for you, have a chuckle at !

  15. rhtheekAstonishing but not entirely unexpected. I'm sure you are both having a wonderful time together and the atmosphere is fizzling along. James could use a healthy distraction from his blogging and I think you are the woman for that job.

    All the best
    Wolfie.

  16. What a wonderful surprise for us all - have a splendid time together - what fun, you showing him and he seeing it all for the first time.

  17. Well, you will need to make an honest woman of her James. Pref before the local gossip ruins her reputation.

    Glad to hear phase 1 worked out fine. Fingers crossed for the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hope you both have a wonderful visit!
    How are Simi's negotiating skills holding out? Ha Ha!

  19. Such great news- I hope all is well and that James is enjoying Sicily!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well, of all the places he could have gone, I doubt he could have picked a finer one. I have in mind a more specific location than just Sicily, you understand.

  21. Lol Welshcakes we shall save Ms Simi's seat for her :-)

  22. Enjoy yourselves!
    Cheers

  23. I sure am, Wolfie! Many thanks, Sally. Wheels within wheels, Bag.
    Simi winning, thanks, pink! Many thanks, Gracchi. He will relax soon!
    A mini-Imagined Community, Ian?
    Simi sends love to you, nunyaa.
    Many thanks, Ardent.

  26. Oh yes, I agree - why should visitors depose the queen from her chosen throne? Have a great time!
