I saw that scarf skirt pattern and thought how fabulous! I'm going to scour the charity shops for some nice scarves. Well done to you! I'm in the midst of trying to make my first dress from scratch to my own pattern. It all came to grinding halt when the dance got cancelled due to the weather.... Ne...

It looks lovely. I'mitching to make more clothes but always get hung up on what if it all goes wrong.... shoudl just get my finger out and try and aim toget such good results as you have.

We're sitting at an accumulation of about 30cm now :) car's not been down the drive for 4 days. I'm happy I can work from home so long as the electricity stays on. I don't think I can do pics cos I don't do the whole pics on the internet thing! suffice to say it's beautiful :)

I've often chucked the ingredients in without any browning etc, it doen't make too much difference, but I also quite enjoy doing abit of cooking/brown...

I have some le Parfait but my preserving book only mention...

Thankyou all. I'll leave a couple but nip and pull the others as they happen. fingers crossed my leek efforts are better than last year....

Ok, next daft question for the oracle at large... my onions are looking great :cheers: but a few of them have started developing flower buds. I'm pretty sure this is bad. Can I just nip the flower buds off and let the onions continue growing and harvest them to store, or now that they've decided to ...

Daft question - do you succession sow the overwintering veggies like cabbage, kale PSB etc?

Well.. we moved when I was only 10 so I guess the upheaval etc is only a distant memory. on the SAD, again I can't comment but there has been a winter where I've struggled, but this winter was a breeze... I'm not sure what that is all about. The only thingk I can comment on is having just recently v...
