You could consider a slightly lower fence with trellis and something thorny to grow over it. Not as obviously unfriendly if you do want to get to know the neighbours and a pain to climb over without getting ripped to shreds

I use sellotape rather than green fabric tape on the back of the tablets in the little EDC kit I carry. It means that the printed back remains clearly visible which is useful for me and if plod ever wanted to take a look. I've not worried too hard about instructions for this kit as it is mostly stan...

We ended up buying Le Creuset pans 2 years ago because of arthritis. But it wasn't the cast iron we went for, it was the stainless steel pans. They are still pretty hefty but passed the pick up test as they were the only "good" brand to have a second mini handle opposite the main handle to allow two...

The Netherton prices are definitely cause for hyperventilation - and I'm a Southerner! I was eyeing up the Petromax dutch oven range last year at the Wilderness Gathering.

I have been working from home for the last 6 months. We were down for just over a week before the line was right. I was able to use the mobile phone as a hotspot for work which was "interesting" as I got cut off from Teams meetings as soon as anyone tried to phone me. meanwhile the two young adults ...

Yes. We do feel lucky to still have a roof and so little damage. I had to refit a GP Surgery after a lightning strike. 100% of the IT kit failed inlcuding the UPS. Thankfully the old gas boiler had been removed so I dont think there was much left to explode in the chimney. The postie was less impres...
