Now that's a pretty knife

Well....death, obviously.

I like Flora incognita and Plant net for plant identification. Neither are 100% accurate, but then nor am I! I find if cross reference them I get the right plant. It's always best to back it up with an actual book. A bit like map and compass for navigation. Apps are great and useful, but...

I make sourdough bread once or twice a week. This batch and the temperature aligned to create a beauty. There wasn't much left after others in the house discovered it. I was inspired to try a wild garlic and green olive foccaccia, for a change, finished with smoked sea salt. I think it will...

I just made some wild garlic scones today (with cheese) and they disappeared before they got cold!

Simon can tell you everything you need to know. On the youtubes. Careful though, I find this sort of video has a habit of loosening the closure on my wallet!

Loving your random carving. :coffee2: (Obviously it deserves a smiley face in a cup as an emoji, i didn't know it was a thing, but thanks bcuk)

I've very often got a cotton handkerchief in my pocket. Always a paper one or a napkin picked up from somewhere. I'm still living with the trauma of my Dad spitting on his to wipe my face :yuck: When I hit 30 I told him enough was enough.

Sorry Tony, I kinda knew, as I was responding, that I shouldn't have said anything! (so, er, here I go again?) I deliberately gave a shorter reply as to my reasons for not using Amazon, as there's a long list of why I don't, other than tax. Writing replies on my phone is very laborious, (I'm...

Sorry, as soon as I hear amazon mentioned it gets my back up. If we as individuals don't pay our taxes we get fines, or worse. The huge multinational doesn't? Not OK. With the amount of money it has? I stopped using that company about 15 years ago.

Welcome along

Very pleased you won't be able to find time for anything you don't want to do mate.

Welcome along

Scratchings, yes, obviously! Fat = flavour. A sad fact, but a fact nonetheless. But then I don't want to live a life of a monk. Bad for you is where some of the good stuff of life is. I can resist everything except moderation! But not that puffy polystyrene nonsense. They dry your mouth out...

Welcome along from a fellow lover of woodworking.

I love that. I definitely have villhöver. More often than I care to admit!

That looks great. I don't own an MKettle, but I don't like the look of the spout, nor being reliant on the sleeve for holding/ pouring. Also the base looks a bit tippy. That new Kelly, looks like it solves those issues. The folding handles are a great idea, they don't look that bulky, but...
