Why do I keep thinking you need to get out more Wendy its a man thing or so I am told. I realy enjoyed the whole series and took a lot of inspiration from many of the ideas. Maybe next year I should enter. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g65/cossieal/db32a0a7-ee12-49c5-bd8f-a2db60bfe5e1_zpsb69ce2...

Hi Davina, Not much help for this year but I never had any success with cucumbers in the greenhouse until I tried socretese. Here is the thread I posted about them. http://www.downthelane.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12266&p=136734&hilit=cucumber#p136734" onclick="window.open(this.href...

We were sitting outside this evening enjoying the sunshine with a glass of wine or two and Mrs Al decided to take a few pictures with her phone. Its not a modern phone with all the bells and whistles but I think these pictures are realy good. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g65/cossieal/10481382_1...

I havent brewed anything for a while now, I maybe off work this weekend so maybe time to dig the gear out.

Used it quite a lot never had a problem. There is a drop off point on my way to work so no extra journeys in the car.

Sejjie, most of the collars we used when I worked in the factory were made of plywood so would probably need a good few coats of something to prevent them ...

I love ingenuity like this. When I worked in the factory I snapped the wooden handle on my hammer so I welded a steel tube in its place and made a grip from self amalgamating tape. I had it for less than two shifts before it was confiscated and replaced with onother one with a lollypop stick for a h...
