Weather's finally warming up, hopefully no more frosts, so starting to plant the veg garden this week. We have a very good chance of frost tomorrow night here in the midlands. Everything fleeced in the greenhouse! Too wet & windy for a frost here although we have had a decent fall of snow previ...

We're pretty much equidistant between aberdeen & kinloss RAF base, each ~50 miles away. I think I'd be losing my hair & teeth...........

As others have said these freeze dried foods have their place, I’m thinking of getting some of the MREs that are about 800 calories each to chuck in my edc rucksack and back of the car for emergencies, having to abandon my car with the snow in Ambleside and Windermere last weekend showed me how fas...

We had some tesco flour from 2020 that we've just used for (ahem) croissants of all things. It was kept in its original packaging in a closed plastic tub in the garden shed. Hadn't clumped like yours though. In a sort of prepping oneupmanship shortly after getting married in 2000 I went through the...
