Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

I can't play any more just now. We're off to Jersey for the weekend (the Flay family has a terrible carbon footprint just now!) and Mrs Flay is champing... animals to the kennels, finish packing etc etc...

Must remember to pack the umbrella and kaggy

Have great trip. Indeed, you span the island extremes of this great nation. Umbrella essential I would have thought!

For others, it's not Elizabeth.

Cloughie - on the right lines with a character and a singer... but not those...

[Nick Armstrong]

that's as may be, but could we have a clue to the question please ?
["boom-boom", as Basil Brush might say]

I'll keep setting them up, you just keep knocking them in!

Bon voyage.

Betty Turpin
Elisabeth Schwartzkopf
But I'm still digging for the Savoy truffle.

On the other hand it could be Elsie Tanner
Elsie from Yeoman of the Guard
Elsie Morison in Rake's Progress

Yes it's Elsie!!

Yes to Tanner in Corrie and Morison as Anne Trulove

Elsie from YotG is not what I have on the card. Look for another soprano.

The Highlands & Islands, Fort William, and now Jersey. Life is just one l o n g holiday for Mr. and Mrs. Flay isn't it? (The only time I went to Jersey it rained continually ........) Have a good trip, will you be hiding behind the displays in the duty-free shops having a quick play with your ipad whilst Mrs. F. does damage to your credit card?

From today's Guardian:

An unseasonable Atlantic storm is set to batter the UK, with gale-force winds and heavy rain expected in many parts of the country on Thursday, continuing and spreading into Friday.

The Met Office issued a severe weather warning for south-west England from early Thursday afternoon, with an amber warning issued for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Gusts of up to 70mph are expected to hit coastal areas by mid afternoon, risking damaging trees and dislodging roof tiles. Travel may also be disrupted and with many children on half term this week, family plans and holidays are likely to be dampened.

The forecaster Mark Seltzer said: "Strong winds, possibly up to gale force, are expected from the afternoon onwards in south-west England, particularly Devon and Cornwall."

The bad weather will spread across the country with Wales also expected to be whipped by strong winds. "On Friday the warning is extended to include south Wales and many parts of southern England as well as the south-west, again with a risk of gales. The public should be careful when they are outside, and there is a danger of damage to trees," he said.

Good luck, Flay... Cloughie... Anna...!!

Breezy and showry here and definitely threatening worse! I guess it will reduce attendances at the Royal Cornwall Show - Mrs C and I decided to give it a miss!

An F been out, only just back, give me a pondering minute or three!
