Hmm, interesting! Just googled white van escorted by police and there is an article about this happening over the last few days in Hull and Cottingham "on a high security training exercise " So that could be what you saw if you are near that area. But, who knows the real reason. They'd never...

It certainly is!

Just checked out a couple of yt vids on the B1. Definatly what I saw and heard. Awesome bird! Makes everything rattle and roll at close quarters! But why so blooming low?!!!!! It's not like they were anywhere near landing here.

Just had two mahoosive military planes fly over my home, probably less than a hundred feet up. This has never happened before like that. We sometimes get the odd nimrod or helicopters fly over fairly low, but this was incrediblely low. Such a roar, and the house trembled and rattled. Chandelier...

We've had it all today, wind, rain, sleet, snow and sunshine!

I've struggled without proper tools, but finaly built the garden plant frame , and the mini grow house. Ready to be placed in its proper position. The grow house was snap together, and much easier , tho the wind picked up when I went to put the cover on and it all fell apart again. Much...

I don't have any recipes, but I'm aware it was used in Easter ledge pudding. I'm sure you can google that one. My great gran called it Easter ledge pudding plant. I've never had it so can't comment on it, but she was real old school Norfolk, and with 8 kids and as a widow in the 30s and 40s...

Well, I've made the swop to using glass for storage instead of plastic. I make a lot of my food, instead of buying plastic wrapped stuff, and if I do, I transfer to either waxed cotton wraps( for cheese) Or glass jars and containers for humous butter bacon etc Last night I heard a great thump...

That's a shame, I was realy looking forward to going to it again. Especially now wilderness is the other end of the world.( I did go to wilderness last year, but the traveling almost broke me. !) so I'm now without any meetups this year. Wail sob :( :( :(

Anybody looked yet? What's the news?

I nowuse small silicone trays in my new dehydrator. Before, when I had my round one, I'd start the drying in the oven on silicone baking sheets on a metal bake tray, then as soon as I could peel it off, cut into slices that I then put into the dehydrator to finish drying. Then dust eith icing...

Any news on this year? Nothing on the bushcraft school website, I've phoned and left a message for jonno earlier this week, but no reply as yet . Don't have face ache or any other social media so unable to see what's happening. Can someone check and report back? By this time last year we knew...

Oh my! What a dream!

Home made ancient grains sourdough loaf, the butter I made Sunday and a fresh comb of hunny a friend gave ne today from his hive. Who needs more?

Not realy. I don't have TV, so I just put on the radio and do stuff instead of just sitting around being a TV zombie. The washing up is a little bit of a faff, but part of the game I guess. I like the feeling of looking at my fridge and seeing home made butter, yoghurt, pickled beets and onions...

Just been down the arm y surplus store, now have a couple of spare butter making arms stashed under the bed for future use. :) :) Bae systems were a bit expensive , so I've got a couple of part used ones. Igor.. the shop keeper was very helpful and even gave me a few bolts to keep my head on...

Saturday afternoon, I found a small kilner butter churn on the shelf of my local charity shop. Made butter with it today. (Anyone know where I can find a new arm?) :) Phew! Hard work! but very satisfying as I now also have half a jug of buttermilk in the fridge, ready to bake a soda bread tomorrow.
