I wonder why?

I could not agree more Quillan.Brown who STOLE the private pensions has not said much of late has he?I wonder why?

Does anyone know if Pink Salt is available here?I want to cure some Pork to turn it into Gammon.I need kosher salt as well but I was told today that sel de Guerande is as good.

You do not have to renew.It is adjusted,ie the increase.All be it a smallish amount for us.

You lucky person.I have been looking for Ceps in my area for weeks without success.I love them.

I have taken some cuttings (fingers crossed) and placed them downstairs in the cave along with the plants in pots.It does not get too cold,but if the temp' drops they could go in the boiler room at a steady 20 deg's.

There has been a lot more flies at this time of year than usual despite the fact that we have a cow field next door.

Nice weather today,but a bit breezy.Going to plant some bulbs and clean the greenhouse.

Two and a half years on,I am still struggling with the language.I think it is an age thing.The younger people I have met seem to learn quicker.I have got to persist.Apart from that I have no regrets at all.We are both doing our best to integrate by way of Breton dancing and attending Repa's etc.

One of our Westies has very red gums and bleed when we try to clean her teeth gently.She is eating ok and no sign of being poorly.Nose is cold etc.She has a skin allergy hence special biscuit.We are going to the vet on Monday. Any thoughts?

Its ok here in central Morbihan apart from the downpour last.The ground did need the rain though.Sun is shining today.

Cider.Around this area I have seen men with trailers collecting apples.I have been told that a mobile press is available that squeezes the fruit to make cider.I have used 10kg to make 2 gallons of wine.Squeezed by hand though,bit messy,but the end result is supposed to be worth it.

I think it is yet another sign of the world gone mad.

What is with the FA and the wearing of a poppy.The ref has been told to stop the match if the players come onto the pitch wearing a poppy.

Turned on the tv this afternoon and caught the last 10 mins of said film with T Howard.
