Hi everyone, Many thanks for all your kind comments. I am actually feeling quite pleased with myself as I have finished two quilts in the last fortnight, I'll post a picture of the other one that I have made for my Dad later. Lilo-Lil, this quilt was machine pieced and quilted, I use cotton wadding ...

It's Lola's first egg, she was very proud of herself. We have no trouble telling which end is which, unlike with Flossie's eggs which are nearly symetrical.

Hi everyone, I have just finished this quilt and thought I'd share it with you. It's going to be displayed along with 80 other quilts at our charity quilt show in Maidstone on Friday and Saturday to raise funds for the Heart of Kent Hospice. I've called it "All at Sea", quite appropriate f...

Hello Kate,
The old fashioned way was to plait the leaves together with garden twine/string up the middle to make a string of onions and hang them in the shed and use as wanted. I've done it in the past, although my girls did the plaiting, and it worked.

Lorna,
1 hectare = 100 acres??? I thought it was just under 2.5 acres but I never did get the hang of metric as I was taught a mish mash at school, miles, yards, feet, inches, fluid ozs, pints and gallons but only millimeters and centimeters in the new stuff.

I've just been handed my glasses by my wife and changed my mind. I thought she had a python that had just eaten a couple of hamsters draped over her shoulders

Oh I don't know, I think she looks gorgeous.

Hello all, Didn't know there was more than one set of ingredients to make yorkies. We use 6oz plain white flour, 2 eggs, 6floz milk, 4floz water and whisk. We use virgin olive oil in the pan thingy. Doesn't seem to matter how long the batter sits around before pouring, always fluffy crisp ones. Dom

Hello Mo, The corner posts for the poultry netting I have wouldn't take horse tape, the thingys to attach it are not wide enough. I honestly don't know if they do a corner post with two prongs for horses, they must do surely. My wife says I might have misinterpreted your question. If it was do they ...

Hello Mallard,
Those are foreign thingys I believe. I think saying I have a hectare sounds less painfull than I've got a couple of acres.

Mallard,
Too easy, it's a bottle of wine with a glass holder and glass, to facilitate wonky rows of veg.

Is this a new terrorist threat, a cunning plan to whittle us down one by one, knowing the British love of curry??

Hello again again ihatejacknjills, If your fence is only 10 meters from your power then a 25m reel of lead out cable should do it for both live & earth (just cut it to length as you would any other electric cable). The earth stake can be in either place but make sure it is somewhere not too dry....

hello again ihatejacknjills, Yes the lead out cable is insulated and runs from the live terminal to the fence, yes you could run it along the fence. Yes you can put it in the garage and run the lead out cable to the fence, you will also have to run a lead out cable to an earth stake, which comes wit...

Hello ihatejacknjills, We haven't done away with the weldmesh run, but have extended it with electric poultry netting. We bought 50 meters with an energizer that runs off mains or battery. I've had it running off both and it gives more of a shock when connected to the mains and you don't have to wor...
