I wish i had the fortitude to brick a find like that up, I'm afraid I'd have been takings photos and telling everyone, which is absolutely the wrong thing to do, but I'm just so nosey and fascinated by things

I love old recipes, I haven't brewed anything for over a years now as I still have over 200 bottles of various bizarre plonk I made 2-3 years ago, if it didn't move quick enough, I fermented it!

Love the idea of the witches brew being a Lancashire lass myself, how is it 3 months on?

I had a similar moment with a sausage quiche the other day

That sounds ruder than I intended

Thanks oldjerry Yes the Turkeys are, well, amusing... They were kept by the previous owner for Xmas 2011 but they became pets to his son, so they were still here when we moved in, they're only a year old this spring so its fun and games, the stag spends all day romancing the smallest chicken in the ...

Then it would be a delicious problem!

Thanks for these tips especially the sugar and soap, I've been bitten 3 times on each wrist in the last week, the itching just isn't stopping
Making a paste as we speak...

I see both ends of the spectrum Home is a dream although we are on a road I tune it out, once in the house/ garden it's like a haven. Then I get to drive into Manchester everyday for work, its like getting slapped in the face every mile further from the house I go. What i do notice is when off work ...

I agree, I've agonised (slight exaggeration) about the lack of people I come into contact with who 'understand' me.

I tentatively think we could start something here...plus i'll need help LOTS of help come autumn drinking all the cider, perry and wine i'll have to make!

I think that's amazing, great work, I don't have the patience for something like that, I can crochet with big wool with lots of colours (to amuse my tiny mind...ooooooo green, oooooooo look its purple now etc etc) Ish is exactly what it says on the tin 'ish' we're trying, but we also live in the rea...

Hi guys Quick question I inherited chickens and turkeys with my new house been here 6 weeks now so I'm still a beginner with them (deep end and all that) I try to ensure they are getting greens of some kind at least 3-4 times a week. So far this has been via cabbages, spring greeens and bits of gras...

Funny you say that, I'm doing the London marathon next month and I don't really watch TV never mind soaps (hate them) I'm not a great runner, still starting out really and had a lot of injuries (back and foot) We should meet up at some time, I work long hours and have sporadic days off, but I'm up f...

Thanks guys, I didn't mean to ramble so much, it just spilled out oops I'm ready to post away, got a lot of questions I finally feel able to ask, picking up a lot of tips (especially repairing the greenhouse with clingfilm for a while!) and I've stopped worrying about my rhubarb bed (which doubles a...

Hi guys I've been a member here for a few years, but I've hardly been on for the last 2 years since meeting the hubster and all that 'that' has entailed :lol: We are in many ways the luckiest people alive (we think) we met 3 years ago and had the same outlook and dreams :cheers: we were planning on ...

Hi from up the road near Preston I've been off the site for a while but recently bought the dream house with a bit of land, we have a few chickens and turkeys, fruit trees and beds ready for my mutant veg (it's all a big learning curve this year) your projects sound interesting, need any mastiff hai...
