I'll certainly listen in though.

Oh please - don't add to the confusion that already exists in my head as I daily attempt to be part of humankind

Well this is weird - I woke up this morning convinced today was Sunday only to be pleasantly surprised that it was Saturday LOL

The programme is on TOMORROW (being Sunday 30th) on R4 at 2.45 PM. Apologies to all for not being part of the human race until at least mid-morning.......... :oop

Just in case anyone is a Radio 4 fiend like moi (or even if you are not !), there is a programme entitled ' Self-Sufficiency and the Downsizers ' today on Radio 4 (92.4 - 94.6 FM) that analyses John Seymour's " Complete Book of Self-Sufficency " from 1976. That was the book that led me to ...

I will try coffee wine, Tia-Maria is my usual shop bought tipple, so I think I would like it. The dandelion wine was rank. Tasted like watered down cheap whisky :pukeright: made a fine toilet cleaner though... The rhubarb wine was/is gorgeous but the rowanberry was by far the best. When we get back...

I am sure I have a more recent one somewhere....heehee

Oh poo - I have just discovered a hole in the side and whilst I did my best to plug it, means that I can't really use this pot as a pond. I was also thinking of using it as a planter for perhaps a tree but our garden is only a postage stamp-size so there would be no real room. Andy or Dave - any use...

Thanks to everyone for all your very kind advice...I am just wondering if there is any subject that nobody knows about on this site ? Hmmmmmm......

All I have to do now is to dig a very big hole for the tank.

No elderflowers in the Bristol area yet - unless you know different ?

See ? This is why I love this site........all you wonderful people with so much knowledge to share :hugish: I do like the idea of solar-powered anything : we have a solar panel on our shed roof that works just fine for the light needed for the shed and I do like the idea of the calming influence of ...
