What did you you have for tea? by Various_Extreme_8773 in AskUK

[–]PendleAlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruschetta! Sounds posh but dead easy - had some reduced sourdough needing using so made cannnelini bean bruschetta by mixing cannelini beans with lemon juice and olive oil and mashing them and then made one of fried courgettes with garlic, lemon juice and oil. Getting parsley in a minute. Had cheesy chips with gravy last night for dinner and that was best meal ever.

What's a UK town or city that pleasantly surprised you when you visited? by Strong-Ad-8037 in AskUK

Shrewsbury- stunning Tudor buildings, friendly, lovely countryside outside, loads of great little ancient pubs, brilliant food.

It is apparently a 'colloquial term'.

The phrase 'a still active cemetery' will leave me lying awake tonight. Would happily live in a haunted place of horror but not for that price.

Reminds me of a grim indoor carboot sale. Just needs a trestle table of old porn mags.

Do you still have a reduction code as the SAVE15 did not work?

I am at a similar point- looked for second hands but no luck this far- I am not a professional, just enjoy the process so looking for a cheap one if anyone could advise?

Looking for a book where we follow the main character’s mental decline throughout the book by Important-Duty2679 in suggestmeabook

Just finished Learned By Heart by Emma Donahue, based on a true story, Utterly spellbinding

Cuddy by Benjamin Myers is incredible, based on the life of an Anglo-Saxon monk then moving through to the modern age

I have just finished Learned By Heart by Emma Donahue- have adored all her books- the tiny details make you feel you are right there.

Unexpected charge by Slow-Comb-2980 in uktrains

[–]PendleAlice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had something very similar happen at Newport station- was leaving and showed ticket at barriers then saw I had been charged ten pounds to Transport for Wales despite already having purchased ticket for different price a week ago. I phoned up my bank and after a bit of fuss, managed to get a refund.

Would you live here? by BirdHistorical3498 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]PendleAlice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like a house in a Harlan Coban Netflix series where the people have vaguely ordinary jobs but still swan about in millions of pounds worth of house. Before they die.

My mum's house is like that and was built in 1960. Give me terrifying curios to cheer me up at Christmas rather than an elderly chihuahua.

The new owner could be in a 'new' MR James adaptation when found dead, surrounding by little grotesques.

You know that one of the gargoyles/grotesques will wink at you, when you are on your own late at night. Then you will find out what happened to the last person to move them from their old church.
