We live in a quiet close with few kiddies, but we still had some strangers knock on our door last night, I knew they were kiddies cos I'd heard them earlier on. We ignored the knock. As far as I am aware there is an unwritten rule that if you are lit up and/or have a lit pumpkin in the front window/...

Cooked through and falling apart preferably! All these adverts on telly showing pink beef, turns my stomach, urgh, my hubby says cor that looks great, whereas I tend to shout at the telly 'take it away and COOK It, don't just show it the oven in terror, cook the bleddy thing!!!'

Like others have said Mrs H, our words won't make a lot of difference, just remember you did the responsible owner thing, and Big Bob is in pain no more. We had to do this last year for our lovely Pip. Think of Big Bob's funny little habits and the feel of his fur, and remember him with love. Hugs Nix

We've just cropped all the apples off our tree, and I've got 3 big carrier bags full sitting in the kitchen waiting to be dealt with, plus we've got 20 tubs of stewed apple in the freezer, we used some in beetroot chutney, and more in damson and apple jam, and we gave 2 big carrier bags to a friend....

Hubby and I made some of this lovely stuff earlier on. Yesterday we went and foraged for wild damsons, they grow in the hedgerow nearby, luvvly jubbly. We picked just under 5lbs of them, and after picking over and losing the dodgy ones, we had 4 and a half lbs. Peeled cored and sliced 6 eating apple...

Hello from me and my hubby WhiteWolf, from sunny and rainy Gloucestershire (weather is changeable today!) I found this site by Googling for a Beetroot chutney recipe, and liked what I saw so we both joined. This year we have started to grow vegetables in our small back garden, we've got a lot to do ...
