Christmas hampers were being advertised on boxing day. Seems we have forgotten what its all about or have I got it wrong and Christmas, Easter,and All Hallows Eve are there only for putting my hand in my pocket for money, plastic etc.?

Greeting from Eire You will notice that we are everywhere and if toy need advice ask this place is full of help.

Remember the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides motto "BE PREPARED"

I suggest you do sow seeds because you will possibly have the benefit of the produce (though, in the nicest possibly way, hope not) and even though it's a small the sight of the veg growing could help to sell the property.

So many others haven't (7,000 homes lost their electricity over the last couple of days) There has been damage and trees ac...

Hi Everyone, Its a bit windy here in Co. Mayo, The worse it's been since we moved here 2 1/2 years ago. My one consolation is that the chicken coop and run that I built (the biggest timber project I've ever completed) has remained standing. (smile of self satisfaction) But a commercially bought coop...
