I'm toying with learning to knit.. Something to do whole sat by the fire Are there any books or media folk would suggest for a left hander. Also..... What type and size needles to start with. Straight or circular?

Got one.... Arrived today. Sizing is generous - medium is a bit big for me, but usable. Looks well - has all the features of the new issue smock.... Fleece hand warmer pockets, pit zips etc. It's a 65 /35 poly cotton mix. Or feels still out of the packet but I'm sure it'll soften with...

A blast from the past... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334685240597?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=WR6__xIdSsy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=dAEMGUL6Q9a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Wonders why I couldn't find them last year when I was looking

Wish I had the money..... Dead tumble drier did for me

Where's my post card?

That's because they are now made in the far East with far Eastern leather. Solovair is the company that made the orginal Northampton produced DM boots for Doctor Martins. They are now making them under their own name out of UK /European leather on the orginal DM lasts...

Do Bison still make their orginal bushshirt - doesn't appear on the website. Or anyone doing similar?

Yep got 2. Both pushing 20 years old and well used

I got a Jack Pyke jacket a few years ago in the sale - cheap even not in sale - for beating and dog walking. Its not cutting edge but can fault it fo the price. It's stood up to some awful weather on the grouse drive on England's most remote spot. And 3 seasons of pheasant drives in some...

I can happily simmer on my omnifuel running on kerosene /paraffin. Soot and clogging is not an issue - just use the right nozzle and use correctly. I've used mine for nearly 20 years and never had issue.

Optimus omnifuel mounted in a larger Trangia. Use the adaptor for the Nova..... You might need to make another hole for the control if you use an older Trangia, but new ones have them for the gas conversion already https://www.optimusstoves.com/en/de/111-8016303-optimus-trangia-adapter
