annanotbob2's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recipe So. Ages ago Bex asked me to post the recipe for shepherds' pie and I've only been remembering when I'm either lying in bed trying to sleep or on the bus. And she's asked more than once and - ta-da!
