Had a wierd recorded message phone call from the water company thanking me for my patience while the water was out. Now most of the postcodes mentioned were ex postcodes and the ta ones were not mine. I've not heard anything about water outages on any news channels at all, and no phone calls...

I tried to make rowan wine once. I had a cat at the time. The cloth covered bucket was stood in the kitchen and kitty decided it would be a good place to jump up on. Result, one pinkish cat, and the newly fermenting wine all over the floor! Just found a few berries myself for rowan and apple...

I hear me again markle is looking for a TV slot some where, ...any where....any one?

I was sixteen and 3 weeks when I ended up alone with no parents, you have a great dad, your smart and independent thinking. You'll do just fine. You'll find those nuggets of woman's wisdom elsewhere. They won't be the same, but they will be equally relevant. You've got family here too. So don't...

Hmm, even alone contestants take things with them to help them survive. This states "nothing but the clothes on your back......100 days" wishful thinking and a recipe for mountain rescue call outs within a few days.and some big lawsuits if it goes pear shaped. That aside, how about a girls...

I was in the car park at the farmers market. The puddles had a black background as it was tarmac so couldn't realy see just by looking. I did wonder about scooping some up in my bag to look, but it would have been an odd thing to do in front of dozens of people when it was raining. Nothing...

Well, nobody can accuse me of being clingy for sure. But you'd be surprised by how many of my generation can't cope with an independent woman who knows her own mind. Generational differences i guess. My last bushcraft trip in March saw me coping with camping in storm dave and skinning...

It does that occasionally. But hey ho.good on ya for bringing home the bacon...or in that case the venison.. Did you get the cow too?

Ooh Jeffrey! Suits you sir, especially the stilettos. May i suggest a subtle barbie pink to match your cheeks sir! ;)

Why? I don't like them either, I prefer beeswax, which do smell nice, and natural.. Do you mean the highly synthetic scented ones ones, or just the scented candle scenario altogether? Why does it worry you? I just avoid them like the plague! No worries. If others wish to have their lungs full...

It was a white plastic bag. Rain puddle in the bottom was definatly green. Like algae was in the water.

Oh no ... ( sigh), it was a tounge in cheek comment. Ease up chaps.! Tee dee, you have me totaly wrong. I've worked in mostly male environments most of my life. As you know, banter is the norm...until I join in that is. Somebody always has to take umbrage or start psycho analysing me. Making me...

Beautiful rain today! ( saturday,) been waiting since it was promised on Thursday. Got totaly soaked twice, and loved every moment of it. Back to my beloved jeans and t shirt instead of a dress. Im so deliciously happy, so is my garden. No watering cans tonight. Whoo hoo! Strangest thing tho...

Thank you Tee Dee. Women are used to organising a home and getting on with the "housework" so have more inbuilt ability to see what needs doing, organise, and get on with what ever needs to be done. Men are needed (?) For the hard graft. I remember one episode where some of the chaps went out...

Wild up torches.. useless tat! I have several solar /battery operated radios. The wind up ones always fade out at a critical moment in my experience plus the effort of winding them for a few minutes play time is a waste of energy. Solar/ aa batteries for me everytime. Solar for daytime, and...

Mystery prize.. a packet of choc chip cookies? A full english brekkie? I guess after half starving yourself for a couple of weeks, that would be a great prize. Don't see this riding myself, but you might get a few know nothing wanna be's taking it up. Imagine if we have another hot year and...

Yep, I agree with brock. I'd want to know the location and research it beforehand. Even in my area with basic bushcraft items I'd struggle. Lots of small woody areas moorland gorse heather and bilberries, a few nut bushes and wild raspberry, a few mushrooms here and there, pheasants deer and...

I'm not to worried about not having power. I've geared my home to cope without it as much as possible. If I can listen to a radio, heat my food, and keep warm, im there. Been investing in some interesting books, crafting supplies and water procurement. Other than that, it's picking up...

Well done everyone.

Welcome to my home.
