It is good to see you Mike, thank you for commenting.  I know exactly what you mean, cats are so useful aren't they?

How are the childer doing?  They must be almost grown by now!  

Orn is 5 and 'helping' her mum play a game on the x-box! The youngest is upstairs playing and is suspiciously quiet! They both enjoy helping me in the kitchen by getting in the way, shoving each other about and helping me weight out and mix things.

Visit my blog for food, drink, photography and hamsters.

Welcome John, I hope you will tell us all a little about yourself, such as where you live, what your day job is, what you like doing best etc.

I'll try that again!

Hi, I love growing edibles in my rather unruly (I call it wildlife friendly habitat) garden.

I've just spent the evening crushing and pressing windfall apples, using a drill powered crusher and a wooden press that I borrowed from my neighbours. The juice is v tasty, but it has taken HOURS!  I suspect the consuming will take a lot less time...sloe_gin
