Hello, my dears!

It's Gertie here, back from Spain and in a sunnier mood than ever! Unfortunately, England seems determined to not share in my disposition, as reports from friends tell me it's been raining on and off over here this entire time! If you were one of my many readers affected by this, I hope this blog post (and the others I will hopefully be able to put out during this month) will help improve your spirits!

Hello, my dears!

How is everything back at home? I hope nothing cataclysmic has happened in the past week or so! I, for one, would like to have a home to return to!

Hello, darlings!

Well – here I am in Benidorm, Spain, enjoying a two-week holiday break courtesy of my dear nephew Stevie! It's absolutely brilliant here, and this old lady has been having a blast! So different from glum, rainy England...

Hello, dears!

How is everyone's week going? Well, I hope. Mine has been quiet – it always is, during the summer – and I'm already thinking of my two weeks coming up in sunny Spain later this month!

Hello, my darlings!

Well – summer is here, and I am fully expecting a decrease in post readership to be just around the corner. After all, anyone and everyone who was able to escape this "Country of No Summer" will have done so by now, and will be basking in the sun in Marbella or wherever else you choose to spend your holidays. To those people (who may or may not get to read this while they are away) I want to wish a very happy break, which will hopefully help them recharge batteries in time for the return of the busy autumn season.

Hello, dears!

I hope you have all been enjoying the continuing spring-summer weather – as I think I said last week, it took a while for the rain, rain to go away and be back another day, but it appears it finally did. I have been encouraging my patrons to take their orders outside, and I've even set up a couple of tables so they can sit out in the sun and eat.

Hello, my darlings!

Well – winter has certainly put up a battle this year, but it seems the cold has finally gone away for good (fingers crossed). The days are becoming longer, the temperatures are becoming balmier, and it appears to be almost that time of the year again – that's right, England is finally due its yearly two weeks to a month of summer!

Hello, my dears!

Guess what time of the week it is? That's right – time for another one of Gertie's reader interaction reply posts, where I take the answers the best group of readers on the Internet sent me about a certain topic and publish them for everyone to see!

Hello, darlings!

Today, I don't want to waffle on too much in this first paragraph, because the idea I had for the actual post is so much fun that I can't wait to share it with all of you! It's a reader interaction, as you might expect, and it has a funny story behind it. So the only detour I'm going to make this time around is going to be so I can recount that.

Hello, my dears!

Before we even begin, I just wanted to let you know I promised myself I would not say it. No. Not this time. I won't say it. You all know it already...what is even the point?
