HAS THIS PLUMBER CRACKED????

Big Al the Plumber

IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY SAY???
IS THE PEN MIGHTIER THAN THE STILSON??????

YOU BET YOUR SWEET-BIPPY IT IS!

You heard it here FIRST!

...GIVES UP POLY FOR "POETRY"!

A WENCH IN THE TRENCH 
BY ALLAN JAMES DENNINGTON  
The Master's Apprentice, she toils,  
in the soil,
to lay in the poly. 


MIke thinks it's a folly,
but, by golly, 
one needs this tube
to moisten the loam, 
in which is grown, 
life-giving veggies
to ingest for the best.


To Pea or not to Pea?
That is the question!
Whether it is nobler to grow or, perchance, 
is just another question! 


The Master's Apprentice,
sounds more like a 70's rock band,
or a black, leather-clad lady!


Remember this sonnet
and wear a sun-bonnet, 
to keep at bay, 
old Sol's deadly rays, 
while you toil 
in the soil. 


And god-bless little Reggie.
And hope she's not too crook, 
from digging up, 
the smelly old chook!

A TRAGIC DAY FOR THE SCONE!

13 NOVEMBER 2011


NEWS IS...

THE "QUEEN OF THE SCONE"
BETTY JEFFREE 
HAS HUNG UP HER BAKING TRAYS... 
FOR GOOD!!!!


NO MORE DEVONSHIRE TEAS AT ROSE COTTAGE!!!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE BEADED CROCHETED MILK-JUG COVERS?

READ ON...

Terrible news here from Tambaroora. Betty Jeffree, that stalwart of the scone, has dusted the flour from her fingers, and, shock, horror, wiped the blackboards clean.

Crumbs!!

UNBELIEVABLE, THOUGH IT MAY SEEM...

THE SCONE IS GONE

No more Devonshire Teas at Rose Cottage. 
No more sitting in Betty's beautiful garden with her gorgeous follies. 
No more exquisitely pretty table settings,

AND THE WORST OF THE WORST...
NO BETTY...

This is sad day for anyone wanting to experience (or re-experience) Betty's intergalactically famous "Devonshire Tea". This will be a blow to Nannas and gay men everywhere! 

AN ERA HAS ENDED

I have no photographs to post. If anyone has any they'd like to include, including of paintings, please submit them. I will credit everyone and post a copyright credit as well. "The Scone is Gone" I pinched from Glen.

All the very best to Betty.


Thanks Betty. You're the Bees' knees!!!!


 Now...

WHO WILL PICK UP THE TEA-CUP????

RUMOURS ABOUND!!

CAN IT BE TRUE??? 

GORGEOUS POULTRY FANCIER & PLUMBER TURNED BAKER     

Sue Thomson and Steve Rattray

TO PICK UP THE MANTLE!!!

Devonshire Teas will be now be served at that other wonderful bastion of yummy-pretty

HOSIES

Oh my god! Maybe, if Betty changes her mind, there'll be a Scone War!!!!

...stay tuned...


...In the pipeline...

BIG AL RESTORES  RUNNING WATER IN TAMABAROORA!

RIP PETER ROEBUCK.
Karin and Michael Ramsden will miss you!!!
A god-awful day for cricket!
