I found a home remedy for sinusitis in a book I have:

Take a teaspoon of freshly grated horseradish mixed with lemon juice everyday.

I think it might be kill or cure to be honest, I have yet to try it!

If anyone gives it a go let me know how you get on!

Thanks for that Mart! Have had a quick look, there seem to be so many that look quite like it though.

Would value an opinion from anyone who might know?

Came accross this little chap whilst out brambling today. It was growing in a patch of clover in the middle of a field of cows. Anygood in a bolognese do we think? or certain death?

Good Luck!!! That's the route I'm hoping to take eventually, so gratifying to know that it works. At the moment tho I have to try and get a boring office job first so I'm earning money and then I can start volunteering and work up from there. Job interview tomorrow for me, so another set of fingers ...

We haven't had a tv since we moved here. i miss it occasionally, usually when I'm tired and I just want to sit and do nothing much. I feel like I'm missing out on the more educational side of things which is what I mostly watched anyway: the nature, history, cooking programmes. Unfortunately we have...

Hello, Got a weird query here: I bought a bottle of homemade rosehip syrup at a country fair on sunday, opened it that day and it made a bit of a pop when I unscrewed the bottle, tasted fine tho, today it tastes fizzy so i assume its fermenting. is there anything I can do with it? I don't mind leavi...

Thanks Hedgehogpie! I think that is the only way forward! I also need to try and drag my other half along with me (I'm 5'4'' he's 6'3''!!!) but he's working away a lot at the mo so its tippy toes for me! How early can I start harvesting sloes? I'm getting impatient! (unemployed at the mo and preserv...

There's loads in somerset as well, although a lot seem to be annoyingly inaccessable.

Any tips on how to harvest them from high up in the hedgrows and overhanging the lane?

I've just bought a 3 and a half pound marrow for 20p! :cheers: and now I'm wondering what to do with it all. I've got a recipe for a chutney (river cottage website) but that won't use the whole thing. I've never cooked with marrow before so any recipe contributions would be most welcome! Thanks folks!

Hi there, might be interested but as they're kind of a collection only thing, whereabouts are you?

my roasties are great every time, heres how I do em: Choose a variety thats more on the floury side. Boil them til cooked through. Drain em in a collander and shake about a bit to fluff up the edges. Whilst doing this preheat the oven to at least 200 C (I usually go with 220). Use a deepish baking t...

I spent a lovely half hour in waterstones reading this book, Loved it! now I just need to convince someone to buy it for me. Now! Its preserving season and I don't have it!

'Lo folks, Went for a walk last night and had a good close look at the local hedgerows. I came accross all the usuals, sloes, brambles, elderberries, hazel etc but found a couple of bushes with berries on that I didn't recognise. Having done some research I believe them to be Guelder Rose (viburnam ...

good for tips on frugality, food storage etc.

Here's a couple from me, you'll have to clicky on them though I'm afraid:

They were both taken in Richmond Park in June/ July this year.

Hope you like them.
I might see if I can find any others before the deadline hits!
