If back in the UK at this time of year I would be quoting the rhyme about March winds and April showers but here in Winnipeg it really doesn’t have any bearing on what we can expect, snow, rain and sleet is more appropriate is there a rhyme that goes with that, I have not heard one but I am sure there must be at least one we can be thankful that the -40’s are behind us (fingers crossed) and we now have a wonderful spring to look forwards to.
Hadley started the new month by putting his back out and has been in pain ever since although it is starting to get better thankfully, he was most annoyed at having to miss his football game. I must admit for the first time in years I did pull out the mother card and ban him from playing as he was considering it, (silly boy).
I have managed to get a raspy throat and a nasty cough that goes with it. Amber thought she was getting a sore throat (all being blamed on Cameron (my youngest) as he has had a bad throat for the last couple of weeks) but as far as I know it has not progressed any further lets hope it stays that way. Jamie has stayed fairly healthy and has been using her spare time (not that she gets very much) on some craft work and has produced some really pretty pendants using scrabble tiles.
We are all trying to come up with an interesting menu for St.Patricks day which is coming up fast I think it will be either an Irish stew or boiled ham and cabbage with some soda bread on the side for either.
The new meat delivery finally got here so our freezers are now full to overflowing and once again we have plenty of selection, we just need the dry goods to arrive sometime in the next couple of weeks we hope but there is no telling, I am afraid we have given up trying to put a firm date on anything that has to be delivered we just live in hope.
Our Rewards program is now in full swing so remember to log in and get your certificates for your FREE meal and enter for the Birthday and Anniversary discount coupon.
Pub quiz is nearly fully booked so it should be another good night, coming up will be our Corrie st. event still not sure what or how but it will be soon I will keep you posted on that one with our progress any requests or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

A friend and I are staunch Corrie Street fans so think your idea of the lunch, etc. is a winner.

Have you given any thought to opening a Bed&Breakfast?
P.S. In order to sign up for the rewards program, we have to enter an anniversary date….but we don’t all have anniversary dates

I wish you would open early for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday (10am is NOT early!).
I would love to have breakfast with you occasionally (as would many others if they knew!)
Please go back to the 9am opening on Saturday (and Sunday!) so that I (and many others) could come and enjoy a nice English breakfast with you!
