Re: Reinstating a well

We only moved here last year so I'm only going off what the previous owner said, there's two wells that I know of (the other is still capped at ground level). I do have some of the original house plans and one of the cellar rooms was the pumping room which is where the rainwater was originally harve...

Reinstating a well

I've had a look on the forum and I can't seem to see any threads before on reinstating a well (looking up "well" brings up lots so I might have missed the relevant one). We are fortunate to be near a river (around 350m away) and our property is on raised ground and has an old well. A previ...

Re: Whey Protein Supplements

I've had a few over the years and some certainly taste better than others but I've yet to have any that are "terrible". They go great in overnight oats or in cookies.

Bulk powders have a good range of flavours.

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse

Bullion by post has suspended deliveries and supermarkets are limiting what can be brought. Might not be able to do much with it at home but at least it'd be in your hands if it's out. https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/index/gold/gold-traders/ I've been looking more and more at gold but the thing tha...
