The more women breastfeeding in public the more it will become normal. It's daunting to begin with but when you ha...

I have found this really interesting.. I breastfed my 1st son until he self weaned at 2 years. and I am currently feeding my second son (currently 8.5months). I am normally a really strong person, but I have to force myself to feed in public (I do it because I know my baby needs feeding, and I know ...

Would you mind if I shared my 2 home birth stories? I did LOTS of preparing for both of them, I went to pregnancy yoga classes to learn breathing techniques, and some hypno-birthing too. Son 1. Midnight: I started getting contractions so I called the midwife, re stocked the log burner, lit some cand...

Would these be ok to use in a Damson and Elderberry cordial.. or would the lead / heavy metal content be too high? I have 2 young children so want to be safe.

No. But if you have anyone passing down the m3 that could bring you some, i would be happy to send you some!

I wish I knew as much as you guys, you are really helping... ok right so.... How would I link all this up to the combi boiler? I suppose I have a few options. 1. just use the woodburner to heat the kitchen / family room and cook with. (not very cost efficiant as we have to get a stove installed and ...

Hmm. I don't know what to do then.. what is the most efficient thing i can do? I really want a wood burning range as I cook so much, and the esse w35 is supposed to be an efficient burner that burns through the night so you only need to top it up a couple of times a day. I want to keep the gas combi...

just a thought. if we had a thermal store.. and the stove heated the thermal store. would that do the heating and hot water? or just hot water?

I was just wondering if an esse lion heart would suit our needs or not?

Thankyou Davie. ok we are kinda on the right track then. I have hollihocks against the cottage wall (I must have known), snap dragon, olive, and a vine up the wall. Lavender and Rosemary just dies in our garden (does it like shade? is there a type of soil it prefers? I love these 2 herbs so any advi...
