I once went round a roundabout so many times people were waving :-) And the times I've headed the 'wrong' way up the A6 were a source of much amusement to...

Re: Freeze dried foods
Thanks, some really great ideas there. Have you got a dehydrator and if so do you think that they are worth the investment? I brought one several years ago and tried to dehydrate some bananas but they ended up rock solid and inedible! I haven't tried it again since but it is up in the attic somewhe...

I can't find my way out of a telephone box! :D Does anyone have ideas how to develop these skills when they really don't come naturally? Buy a local map...

Re: Freeze dried foods
Looked at Convar but think I’ll stick to dried in Mylar. Their ready meals don’t look all that healthy… Don’t forget No. 6 on your list - grow your own!
