Heres a few Iv learnt over the years: 1. The importance of breath - even deep breathing can calm you down instantly. 2. Meditation, meditation, meditation - a wonderful skill, I highly recommend it to all. It not only relaxes the body, mind and spirit, but can help with some medical...

I want to move from working in cloth to working in leather. In cloth I can make tote bags, hand bags, satchels etc. Now I would like to try doing them in leather or suede. Iv ordered some books from the library and await their arrival. Do you have any tips for a complete novice?

Mike and the Mechanics (if their still together).

I practice my knife skills when carving meat and doing the vegetables. When out walking, I walk aware, noticing everything around me.

Have you thought of making a proter- type out of another material? Then you could test it and get rid of any glitches before using your leather.

Im very glad these people have been caught and hopefully will get a decent jail sentence. I also hope they they all get a psychiatric assessment, as I believe, animal cruelty is the first steps on the road to psychotic problems. Unfortunately some saw the sweet toddlar who flushed the...

You have my sympathies Shep. I also have a grass allergy which causes Hives, Breathing problems etc. On top of this I have Dust Mite allergy, so I get reactions in the Summer then in the Winter, almost a whole year of it! I use a mask while out, and cover up pretty much. Im on Neoclarytn...

Looks like its entranced to me. Is there a watch dangling in the front there? LOL

I would ask myself some questions before getting a dog: Can I afford the food and vets bills, as well as all of the equipment needed? Do I have the time to walk, play with, and look after the dog? What sort of dog is best for my circumstances and not the other way round? How active am I...

Outstanding pictures. Iv had one of those fly straight into my face before, luckily we get a few in the area.

Ray Mears did this one: He put the bark in an old coffee tin (with a small hole in the bottom) turned it upside down and put the open bit on to the open end of another smaller tin. Said tins were then half berried in a hole in the ground and the sides half filled in with sand (the birch one...

The RSPB say you can feed them dog biscuit (mixer I presume) as long as its been well soaked first. Bird seed mix Meal worms (? the fishermen bait thingys) Some birds will take uncooked rice, some cooked rice. Not cooked porridge as this can cause problems with their beeks. I also put...

I wouldnt be without my sewing machine, althought I do, do a lot by hand as well. Iv been thinking of getting an old peddled powered machine, just incase we loose the Electricity again. Iv also got my eye on a Quilting machine. We used to have a machine that only had the wheel at the...

Id ask the vet for advice. I think (Im no expert) that most flea treatments cover ticks, well all the ones Iv used have. I think it really depends on what you want to spend, and how easy you want to get it. Some are only available with a prescription from the vets while others can be...

I dont think I care wether what he says is boreing or not, his just a fine man to watch! More shorts wearing me thinks pleeassssssssssssssssssse. LOL!

I wonder if we need more rain? I know the Bluebells were early in our area this year. Sadly our local Bramble bushes, which have been there for a good 30 or so years have recently begun to be pulled up. I will miss my apple and blackberry crumble! The Dandelions seem to doing well!

When I was in my late teens, some years ago, I applied for several places doing activities with children, such as canoeing, bushcraft etc. Pretty much they were all in line with you pay for the privelege. Not very good really for those who are keen on working in the field!

Cant say Iv seen anything like it, but there are a lot of flying Ants and stuff that dont normally have wings at the moment.

I dont know of any actual shops, but there are plenty on Ebay that Iv found.

In my opinion, the number one thing to learn, which is often overlooked is to keep calm and control ones breathing, without this you just cant think straight.
