    The sun makes everything better doesn't it? Hopefully it sticks around but I'm not convinced it will!

    Hi @66Mustang! I'm a proper Yorkshire lass ๐Ÿ˜„ Currently live in Holmfirth, Last of the Summer Wine country. Are you in Yorkshire too?

    @Rachel_Scope no I'm down south but I have lots of Yorkshire blood and I go there a lot! I love it, especially the Dales ๐Ÿ˜Š

    That sounds like a nicer day than you had planned though at least @Sandy_123 ! Enjoy your lunch with your son ๐Ÿ˜Š I've just come back from having lunch and voting

    @Jimm_Scope

    Ooooh that sounds like a varied lunch break

    Now for the most important question about your decision but sorry if it's too personal:

    What did you have for lunch?

    I rewarded myself for voting by popping into the local bakers and getting myself a vegan sausage roll and a maple and pecan danish. I actually find their vegan sausage rolls tastier than their meat ones. They use a home-made nut-mushroom mixture that's actually really tasty.

    The maple pecan danish is really nice @Jimm_Scope

    Good choice

    I like lots of vegan foods but I don't understand shops trying to promote them as substitutes? If someone has a desire for meat then just have meat; if the vegan foods are nice, which many are, then why the need to use meat euphemisms? Just say what they are and let them sell themselves on their own merits ๐Ÿค”

    Marketing a product as a substitute is like saying it's second best, which is the opposite of marketing and kind of discredits what may be, in isolation, a perfectly good product

    Hmm I sounded all serious there

    I'm getting more and more into eating more vegan/vegetarian foods as I'm cutting my meat intake down. I've got to say some things I prefer and are better than the meat versions. I'm also a lover of mushrooms and anything mushroom related so love to replace mushrooms in dishes rather than meat.

    That's my point @rubin16

    PS I love mushrooms as well

    Mary Berry is a good cook to look at recipes from, she puts mushrooms in lots of her recipes

    Haha @Sandy_123, I just spotted what it says on the sign. Don't feed the ducks "no matter what they say" ๐Ÿ˜‚ looks like that duck in the second pic is doing his best to convince you!

    Yes the ducks say different lol. They do sell duck feed but only in another area to be fed

    Hi everyone

    I voted and then my Mr son took us out for lunch to celebrate his dad's one year sober. It was lovely of him and we really enjoyed it.

    Do you reckon it's the hurricane in the Carribean that is causing the strong winds? I think they call it the tail end.

    @rubin glad you have picked up. I love mushrooms too. ๐Ÿ„

    Welcome to the new people, tagging isn't working for me!

    We are packing up the car to go to Newcastle tomorrow yay!
