Now there's a coincidence, I passed the Jenner museum in Berkeley the other day.

I was in the Volunteer in Sidmouth at the time and I thought I'd felt a slight rumble. My daughter insisted it was the large bag of pork scratchings I'd eaten the night before. They were good though. Gareth

I have two of the Zippos, one for either side! Used to have a Peacock but it vanished. I found it was much warmer than the Zippos but they cost more!

I can recommend blackberry whisky!

Personally I find cornflakes are a better adhesive.

I always thought Mozzeralla was traditionally made with buffalo milk. Any female buffalo round your way?!! Good luck! Gareth

You think you have problems! I enjoy the bushcraft, though I don't get out too much through getting too old but I am a morris dance musician too! I know suffering

Looks good. When I make it, I generally use less sugar than the recipes say. I can always add more before bottling if needed. I'm glad you reminded me though as I had totally forgotten a litre or so I started last year that I found at the back of the cupboard! Amazing colour. Must strain it...

Not me personally but Pete Flood, the drummer of Bellowhead has one of those Ikea cutlery drainers with assorted cutlery in as part of his drum kit, along with assorted old frying pans! Gareth

I have both the Beaufort and the Northumbria, both bought cheap on evil bay. Got the Northumbria first. As they say above, it is heavy! It was in good nick but a bit dry when I got it for £30 so I've rewaxed it. The Beaufort was as new for £50. It is shorter and much lighter than the...

A friend of mine bought a fairly large hammered dulcimer she gave to me to fix up. Took me hours to tune it when I'd finished the woodwork! It was a three course model and I think it takes longer to tune the buggers than to play them! Another friend lent me his old harp (clarsach) to play with...

My daughter came round yesterday with a pack of crumpets she'd just bought. I hadn't had them for ages. Must get some more. She had hers with thick crunchy peanut butter on. What have I brought up? Gareth
