I have seeds coming up, finally! And they all seem healthy, not drowned. So now I need to carry on weeding so that I have places to plant them all - though quite a few will decorate the very narrow margin at the front of the house.

... the "garden" which is little more than a dog toilet. They never clean it up and I have to spend ten minutes picking up the shit before I can start. Add to this between three adults and two kids they produce a huge amount of rubbish , there's a general waste bin and three recycling bin...

Great topic! One thing I'm concerned with is fabric - I wear my clothes till they've got holes in, literally, or until the zip breaks (a much loved fleece finally did this over the winter). They're no good to take to the charity shop in the condition I leave them, of course, so I often cut squares o...

Personally my wife and I were brought up in houses where the heating was basically that of open coal fires. In between rooms you dressed!

I'm lucky that I don't have a problem with nuts, or I really would be stuck. Still thinking about buckwheat, and I do like how it...

We have gluten & corn intolerances - we bulk buy buckwheat flour as this seems closest to wheat for many things and is a fairly good complete protein. Feel free to compare notes on the different flours and egg alternatives as we now have a fair collection of modified recipes. The one thing we h...

The consultant who got it wrong was standing in and isnt a specialist in hubby's cancer but its all they could get Some of them are so rushed off their feet you hate stopping them .the others who are getting it wrong shouldn't be there at all ... but if its all they can get we need wits about us Nu...

If using milk instead of buttermilk I would add some lemon juice. Buttermilk is acid which reacts with the bicarb to get the farl to rise. If using milkyou will need to add the acid seperately. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/homemade-buttermilk I don't use lemon juice, but do have vinegar, so ...
