Completely wacky suggestion and not in line of what you were thinking, but I've been really enjoying doing a bit of rebounding (mini trampolining) recently and I've no idea why it isn't more popular with men. Very low impact compared to running but with all the benefits, and you can add weights...

Thanks for that, hilarious! Have to say that a cockerel is very close to a dinosaur too- especially those reptilian eyes. Mini velociraptors!

Nice one, just play it safe. These are great stoves with an impressive roar at full chat, you'll love it!

You asked for advice, you've been given good safety advice on two forums, and you're still tempted to add a volatile fuel and light it without testing/servicing? This particular model of stove does need to be used by somebody competent in operation and maintenance.

Same, I keep a powder in stock which is a blend of varieties. Very versatile.

Wow, thank you all for the responses, I had a suspicion this might be a good place for ideas! All sorts of things to look into here which might work, and given the importance of getting her out and about again it will be worth trying the lot! Thanks Toddy, that's great to hear, and sad to know...

Wondering if anyone can help me poor old Mum. A proper countrywoman in her 70s whose life is walking her local hills and watching the grasses, flowers and wildlife change with the seasons. In the last few years she has had pretty horrific Rhumatoid Arthritis and osteoarthritis, poor circulation...

Great advice @Nice65. I do a bit of fruit tree pruning/restoration and anybody I talk to who knows their business leaves things open to air to heal up naturally.

Yes, but 'buying British' or 'family farm' doesn't guarantee any of that and 'regen' having no standards or real definition can be and is applied utterly inapropriately. Nature friendly is one thing, pesticide free is another wonderful level of soil bacteria and inverts!

I'm a bit wary of this sentiment- there's a lot of yelling of 'Buy British' and 'family farms' at the moment, but in reality most of it is just as damaging as the big players and imported food. And theirin lies the problem. The population is simply too high to secure quality food for the...

I'll be safe from FPV drones because I've got a tactical EDC prybar with bottle opener.

But this thread was about something you can have control over, by taking a quick simple action with no worrying involved. That's why I made comments about defeatist attitudes, I for one appreciate such a heads-up.

Ok you've talked me into it. One rainy day! I do use Proton free VPN- a near neighbour and I agreed we'd both get a VPN to add to the statistics when the ill thought out online safety thingy was passed. Disliking computers and being a bit shaky with them, she got her 9 year old daughter to...

Quite the poser. Young people have little worldly experience so their views are null and void, likewise older people with a lifetime of experience of a world which no longer exists.

Reckon a 12 bore would be a better option than a gesture. On another train of thought, I found it odd as a child that older people were allowed to vote and have opinions, given they wouldn't be around to have to live through the consequences...
