When it comes to a cappuccino I am very progressive as I don’t mind a cardboard cup with a lid, actually I prefer it, but when it comes to tea I am traditional and prefer a cup, don’t mind a mug even. Don’t like Hever and Penshurst where they dump a teabag in a cardboard cup. The bean counters...

Airfryer - worth buying? Any hints and tips to make the most of them
We love our Lakeland airfryer - one big drawer with a removable divider. Bought silicon dishes which are dishwasher-proof to save on the mess.

How do I stunt a begonia boliviensis without killing it?

What's your weather like 2026
Rain overnight (just shy of 3mm), after a couple of dry but cool and breezy days. Forecast brighter this afternoon but it doesn't look very promising at the moment.
