    Is "preparedness" a state of mind?

    So why did he stop following me when I went back to Ray? Why did he give me an annoyed look and disappear when he realised I wasn't alone? My trolly was almost empty, and my bag was in the trolly, I didn't have a coat on, just jeans and a wool jumper, no pockets. The store detectives are easily...

    What did you buy today?

    A pair of spare filters for the new berkfeld water filter. Almost bought yet another swandri coat, but at over £200 I thought better of adding to my collection. I've spent far too much this month already and we are not halfway through the month yet. They should realy stop bringing out new...

    WHAT DID YOU MAKE TODAY?

    Rescued what I could out of my old grow house( which I replaced yesterday, )and repurposed it into a small log store for my smaller logs, to keep them dry by the back door, in easy reach.

    Is "preparedness" a state of mind?

    Maybe all those ufo/drone sightings there last year, were a dry run, and as nothing happened it's the cry wolf scenario. Trust nothing they say and meanwhile look after you and yours. Live your best life, and be kind to those less able or fortunate than yourself. Live life as you would want...

    South West meet up

    Well, just to let potential meeters know, the Newton about, south west bushcraft show isn't happening this year, maybe will go ahead next year. So.. let's think again. Is mid exmoor too far for most people. I know of a large, relatively cheap camp site(4 fields) Riverside and fires allowed...

    Is "preparedness" a state of mind?

    Could still be what you saw, I doubt they'd only spent 30 mins of travel on such an exercise. Where were they coming from or going to? We don't know. What gets me is the way it draws attention to a high security operation. Defies logic. There are so many white vans on the road, another on its...

    Is "preparedness" a state of mind?

    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...

    Is "preparedness" a state of mind?

    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...

    WHAT DID YOU MAKE TODAY?

    Bistort

    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...

    Going green broke my fridge!

    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...

    Help with fruit leather

    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...
