  1. I prefer books, but it is much easier to take a loaded kindle with you when travelling than a bookcase. I have also discovered for the 1st time ever I can read in the car without feeling sick, I don't know why as I can't read books or magazines in the car. It makes the long journeys go much faster! I haven't yet paid for a book on there either.
  2. As the forum has been a bit quite..........

    There are a lot of posters on here who ask how much do I need to live on. As we all know it is relative, now I'm not asking how much income anybody has but I am interested in what peoples perception is of

    a) a low income

    b) a modest income

    and

    c) a comfortable income.

    shall I go first?

    a) 10 - 18 thousand euros (I couldn't live on this!)

    b)18-28 thousand

    c) anything more!

    so it would be interesting to see peoples perception from those living in anything from a barrel to a chateau!!

     

  3. So what happens if you leave the black bags out for the dustbin men? We have a communal bin area in the village where we take the rubbish between bin emptying. As we can get extra recycling bags from the Mayors office I suggest you try there for the food bin.
  4. Never had a soggy bottom!, do you use the rack rather than the roasting tray, mine came with a lower rack, a higher  rack and an oven tray, also an extender ring for doing a roast. I have used it as a grill with the higher rack and it works well.

     

    The glass bowl is heavy though so don't use it too far from the sink.

  5. Buddlea, roses, lavender, sedum, bearded iris, hollyhocks. Yukka are ok but a bit lethal if you need to get anywhere near them! Anything we have planted in the spring generally doesn't last the summer. The 1st thing I do when we get to the house is go out in the garden and see what has died or thrived.
  6. Anyone been watching this series, it's on FX, season 2 has just started in the UK. We recorded the 1st series and watched them all virtually back to back. Haven't enjoyed a "cop" show this much for ages.
  7. I wouldn't plant them in June unless you have somebody to water them for you. After several years of part time gardening in France I will only plant new things in the Autumn now.
