I've V+ it to watch when I get time to settle down and concentrate. It's had mostly good reviews but some people don't like the uber-realistic low lighting, they filmed just using candles for lights and so it seems a bit gloomy? Fingers crossed as I usually love a period drama and loved The Other Bo...

Thanks for those replies, seems it is not such a strange phenomana (sp?) after all! They were normal onions not shallots and I cut them into chunks but didn't fry them off. The last time I used red onions and just cut them in half and they were perfect, very odd maybe red ones are sweeter? Had to la...

I recently brought the slow cooker out of hibernation and have cooked a couple of gammon joints (delicious), made some soup (ditto) and a couple of weeks ago made beef borgignon that was amazing. Yesterday I put all the same ingredients in at about 10.30 a.m. and set it on low as it was my shop afte...

Yes he is in a long term relationship I think......

Cracking series

Not like that here either but unless you come from south of Watford we aren't really up north anyway.....

Well I watched it last night while everyone was out, sat with my crochet and the dogs and a glass of cider (that wasn't very nice, one of those random flavours made and packaged and over-charged for at Christmas... thank you hubby ) Anyway I enjoyed it, nice, simple and straightforward gentle entert...

I liked him in Gavin and Stacey but why is he getting an OBE?????

I am glad you've all enjoyed it as I have recorded it for a quiet moment and in the paper yesterday everyone was saying it wasn't very good, mainly down to James Corden's narration but I shall look forward to it

I only put about 3lb on over Christmas but I am sitting here surrounded by chocolates and fudge and 'supported' by a hubby who thinks it is rude not to eat everything we have been given! I actually spent less on groceries in December than in a normal month but we were given so much stuff I am thinki...

Worms are meat too
