Re: Uses for Flour.
Or... https://hallans.co.uk/somayas-indian-grocery-store/ Yep, I've been to that store - it's a good one, with the online business attached, and the only reason its not my first recommendation is that naturally it focuses on the Indian subcontinent (and supplying every restaurant and hotel within t...

Re: Uses for Flour.
Agreed about the prepper doctrine of storing what I eat. This is what makes food storage challenging, along with the need to use and eat foods with a long shelf life. At least there's no "tasting panel"! I also use TVP, dried lentils and other pulses and beans. I find chickpeas take too l...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
Went for a fitness walk this morning, and used it to check on emergency evac route on foot towards my sister's house. Local conditions change continually - since I moved here 14 years ago (!) my town has increased from 25,000 to 40,000, and a lot of it is between sister and I, grrr. Found a nice cut...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
How I understand! :( Age,health etc makes such a change to what used to a life of absolute freedom and strength! My personal illness doesn’t help,but when the lads came round for a brew we all talked about our ages and physical work we all agreed that it has knackered us! :lol: That’s the truth. Ou...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
That sounds like a nice wee break you had. Preps here are to make huge changes to my expectations I think. Today we went to Peebles, lovely wee town we've been going to for donkey's years for the good boutiquey-type shops, loads of cafes and nice walks down by the river. We lasted two hours. It was...

Re: New here
Welcome. Speaking of panic, I was just reading this excellent article How to survive a disaster https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150128-how-to-survive-a-disaster Article cites a fire that killled 55 on the runway at Manchester Airport in 1985. Biggest killer is inaction. It's a sort of passive ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
I've been away for a few weeks. Malta, a first and last for me. I got in the door at midnight on Monday night, and I now have only one more round of washing to do :lol: victory! Sincerely glad that WWIII didn't break out when I got over there :? My garden, of course, has exploded into life, mostly ...

Re: New here
Welcome to the forum! The above posters have given you great advice. There are two things I'd add: - if you buy anything at all (a torch, a manual sewing machine, whatever) practice on it before you buy anything else. I had some solar lights sitting in my wardrobe for six months before I tried to ch...

Re: Death by sheep
I hadn't seen that :( but it makes me think of Matt Baker's mum when he and his family moved into his parents' farm temporarily as she broke a leg looking after her sheep. There were a couple of seasons of programmes about the farm during lockdown and the aftermath. She's an experienced shepherd too...
