Thanks for that it is interesting I work with doctors and midwives, and anything that stimulates the uterus is best avoided in early pregnancy, there was another study done in 2003 and there is a slightly higher rate of miscarraige, also you were more likely to spot bleed hence the reason we are...

lol its such a wee country you think you could never be far away from anywhere till you get here. I love it here and frequently go round lochaber and ardnamurchan just a braw lovely place.

Just want to point out though you should never use raspberry in the early stages of pregnancy, it is final from the 8th month as it helps prepare your uterus using it too early can cause abortion/miscarraige. the same goes with a few of these herbal teas and various oils and herbs. always worth...

strange little fact you are more successful with prawns at the full moon and they go for mackerel as with just about everything else. I get them in Lochaline and the sound of mull no probs at all, I have actually landed one size 2 hook before that one was eating mackerel and squid bait lol

take them and basically squeeze the life out of it and use the juice just a few drops in water for varicose veins or use the juice in with shampoo for shinier hair

Hi, I use lavender (lavendula angustifolia) I use this a lot and grow it. I dry it out and use it inshampoos as it helps deter headlice for the kids at school. I also use it dried for putting in scented cushions as an insect repellant it does stop moths as well but I mix it with normally bought...

There are actually more scottish owned fish farms than foreign owned you only here of largest ones which are owned by companies in Norway. The fish farm food is actually mostly anchovies. Yes there are additives in the food. Sea lice is not a problem for a couple of reasons, one the treatment...

I love fish, never bought it as we catch our own and stock up on mackerel when they are here, normally catch conger eel, pollack, colefish, whiting, hake, dogfish, trout, salmon. I pick mussels, cockles, razorfish get the occassional crab and lobster and hubby dives for scallops occassionally...

good stuff, I have 2 mad collies and they never get left behind when we go. actually they help keep us warm when camping fleas ticks and all. my 3 boys love camping and fishing. it sounds like a great thing for kids to be part of and learning about that sort of stuff.

oh heard it all, but as I would reply my big pink thing is getting a lot more than yours ;)

lol I got a storm rod last summer for a bit of a laugh as it was pink full deal rod reel came with line, fun to use but the really funny thing was I caught more than any of the guys at the pier with this giant pink rod . Might get another one next year as it snapped on a spur and the reel conked...

Hi I am in Morvern, right on the edge far away from everything lol

This is the kind of thing I would love to be at, I would not be able to get there though, well not this year anyway. We are out in Morvern, loads of room in our garden if anyone wants to head up this way fishing in future. Just now is a good time for getting food. We are a family of 5 and my...

I like shimano rods I have a catana and it is great, I have a grauvell that breaks down in to 3 sections as well and takes no room. My friend has a telescopic I gave it a try he got it in Poland and must admit it was very good I just have never came across any though. If it is a shimano...

hi there, get some elastic thread for your bait it helps keep it on the hook nicer and makes it a bit easier for casting further. I use a mix of baits between lug/rag worm, sand eels, mackerel, mussels, squid and peeler crab some days I find the fish only take mackerel and other days it has to...

I certainly do not think anyone should have to pay for a licence for sea fishing, I do however want a mile from shore commercial fishing ban and that includes trawlers, netting and pots. after doing this out in countries such as new zealand they have noticed after a couple of years, due to the...

I must admit I fish a lot, have tried on occassions with the telescopic variety and they seem very poorly made and do tend to break if you do get a decent sized fish on it. I would suggest getting a 7-9 foot rod as they split in to 2 sections they take up little room and can just sit to one...

I use string and coil them round for placemats, or if get really adventurous after weaving bath mats use it for edging, it makes a nice change. I had hours of fun with these as a kid, I can't actually remember the last time I saw one lol

Hi, completely new here. Did not realise there was an actual place for folk like me to go and chat to others. Actually I did not think other people do what I do on a daily basis as most think I am strange lol. I live by the sea and basically eat the seasons, I grow my own food as well as go...
