Hi, Rusty!
We crossed posts yet again......see my other post below.......including a typo!
It should read "watery part OF milk"!
I looked on the osprey site, but all I got was the b &w picture that has been there off and off all the time?

Hello, Elle!
I am astonished that young Miss Muffet came into my head at all!
21, I have worked it out.
Creeps. "Touching" is "re", and "ceps" are mushrooms or a fungus anyway. Creeps=edges.
It is very cold here, too.
Wind has not let up for days!

Elle, that is the picture I am getting.
But the rangers are posting on Twitter.

Hello from a very cold Dorset - none of the forecast snow here, but we had sleet .

Rusty : I was on Twitter earlier catching up with other tweets and I hope this comes through OK. This is the same angle as the "non-working" live stream.

Sorry to hear of your snow, Elle. I hope it is short-lived
Keep warm all

Hi, Rusty!
Strange , isn't it? I thought of Miss M straight off!
I had "creeps" as my answer to 21d.........but I didn't see "re" for "touching", and I didn't know "ceps" were mushrooms.
I have just realised it is St. Patrick's Day.
Does your family celebrate it?
Our forecast is saying beware of ice tomorrow......from melting snow........




I'll swap you a very cold Poole for a similarly cold South-east London, JG?
I should love to be walking along the beach, with the dog, right now......

I spoke too soon :(( snow !
TTFN

Well done, Jazzgirl!
Now Elle will know what a Tweet looks like!


Hello, Elle!
I am surprised you did not know "re"/"touching".
You are usually very clued up on words and English, and grammar etc.
More so than me.
I only got to know "ceps" through doing crosswords!
Yes, our family celebrate St Patrick's Day.
In 2014, the tiny village where my family is from in Donegal, had a marching band in the New York Parade!
To take part in the NY Parade is quite something!
Meant a lot to us.
Snowing here and blue skies and biting wind!

Good morning Elle and Rusty,

NO snow here; +1OC, slight North-West wind and bits of rain.
Our wind influence is coming from the wrong direction to bring
us snow until sometime Sunday night/monday - and I don't think
it will amount to much.

Ceps are beautiful mushrooms, lovely and tasty to eat - Also great
fun going in the woods to pick them up around September/October.
Better be with a knowledgeable friend mushroom-wise, or if in
doubt, go to any pharmacist, and they will tell us if we are safe or not,
but basically, they are easy to recognise.

Good afternoon, Pigale!
You are doing better with the weather than us over here!
Been very windy for days here!
Yes, have to be careful picking mushrooms.
Not something I would do!

I have only picked up Cèpes with someone I totally trusted - I think
he could have survived for months on his own in a forest!

But the danger with cèpes is there are many 'false' eadible ones;
They can be dangerous to the health, though rarely as deadly as
other species.

We have and still do have wind, just less so at present, but it
does not bring us the snow - general tendency either NW or SW!
It varies a lot!

I hope your weather eases up soon

If Laddie has any sense, he may have delayed his arrival and stopped
off somewhere for a wee while?
