I eat it by the spoonfull - supposed to be good for all sorts of things!

I'd always meant to come back up to your area - had a very short trip quite a few years ago... But as soon as I heard what's happening with NC500, I'm thinking no thanks.

At least your bus does meet the train - here they don't know about coordinating public transport! I fully understand about the tourism, though. Even Stonehaven can get a bit annoying...

Would love to read them again, but I think they went for recycling like so much other stuff when they cleared my parents house. :( But: I used to buy sample squares of furnishing material and m...

Thanks for all your hard work!

Excellent!

Which reminds me I've got a pile of junk wood in the garden that needs to be turned into a raised bed... When I have the time and energy.
