Andy J Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It would seem Mrs J agrees with Darryl...........She asked me to warm up the chocolate cake a little ..........unfortunately 3 minutes in the microwave was just a bit to much and it looked like a shovel full of mud from the Somme........Needless to say the air is a bit frosty at the ranch atm 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm lobbying on behalf of Bovington but you can buy most gift shop stuff, and it's a great gift shop too btw, on line and it all helps to keep your favourite museum ticking along! I even bought face masks from there! Trying to learn from John @Bullbasket and his shameless promotion of Panda tracks for Sherman's. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my fault fella, never met your Mrs, don't drag me into your domestic debacle! I can raise your 3min choc cake. The present Mrs asked me once to heat some wax in the microwave, I mistakenly confused seconds for minutes, apparently 2-3 mins for something that is placed on the leg is not ideal... Upside, never been asked again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Roberts Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 That looks absolutely sensational. But I still don't get how you paint it in that state. You have skills way beyond my meagre abilities! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
