Does it matter what the apples are like? We have a couple of small trees and get a reasonable amount (but not excessive), but the apples are not sweet, even though the red ones look very appealing. Making something alcoholic would be a bonus :). My Dad used to make "wine" or other alcohol ...

I've asked everyone in the house to make sure they use stuff in date order and all the cupboards have been cleared and sorted.

I still remember the washboard (not really used, but kept "just in case") and the huge square top loader washing machine with mangle attached that my Mum had. We also had a pulley, which is something I desperately want again, except my utility room is a wee bit small :(. If we extend, I wi...
