I took my daughter and a friend to see it at the cinema, mainly because the friend had just done her Politics dissertation on the holocaust. I...
I agree with Clare. About 15 years ago I planted two, one each side of an arch, one grew to about 3', thought 'no way', disappeared and hasn't...
'Back in the day' both my Father and Father-in-law produced some very effective drain cleaner, err I mean, home made wine - ye gods some of it was...
Well .... The first thing I'd suggest is a length of chain, some gravel, a handful of old screws or something of that ilk. Then, pour in either...
Hi AkkaN. To me, 'biodegradable' is, as theruralgardener has said, either those I make myself from newspaper, or those made from coir, corn...
Crab apple jelly? :yummy:

No, it's not just you. One of the favourite meals in this house has, over the years, become known as 'Funny Tea' - a collection of those...
