  1. Black hill. I lived on a farm beneath and spent endless hours on there. The farmer down the road was Wattie Thompson where we, as a family, used to how fields of turnips. As an aside.

Also, clearly showing my age, we used to have the Easter Egg race on the Melrose Eildon. Also, I found an opening into the Melrose which I gather was some sort of mine entrance but which we believed w
  2. Looking at Blacknecks post, I’ve grown a variety called Kestrel. They are a superb potato imo. Jok.
  3. No pics but made my first load of chutney today. Courgette, tomato, onion, green bean, sweet pepper, cooking apple bit of chilli salt and pepper. Smells superb. Will know in the morning. Jok.
  4. Dubois. Do it my man. Jok.
  5. Am just preparing some stuffed courgette. Stuffing consists beef mince, rice, onion, garlic, sweet pepper and a little Thai hot sauce. Salt and black pepper. Scoop out the ‘boats and fill. Place in Bain Marie at 350 for 40 minutes. Jok.
  6. Because I don’t know how, can the mods please remove the ost. Thank you. Jok.
  7. Read this with a little bit of interest. Mother suggested I leave home as I had just clattered the old man with a garden spade. Bit of a problem as I was 15 and had not a clue. I was on a bus in Lauder, Scottish Borders, heading to somewhere called Peterborough with £18 Scottish pounds to go on with. Did end up getting there but what next? Anyway, had a vague idea of a guy living in Northampton so decided to hitch it there and try to find him. Got there and booked into the YMCA in Cheyne walk. £6 for a room per week. Went to the nearest local and got into a scrap with the bar person because of
  8. What a mix in there I reckon. Jok.
  9. Scales and winch spoken for. Jok.
  10. Some races give a medal to the winner,other medals are given for bravery. Eg the Dicken medal which is the equivalent of the Victoria Cross. Jok.
  11. Am thinking it must have been a National. Jok.

  13. Anyone interested. I can no longer handle a carcass so this lot needs to go.jok.
  14. Shame Socks isn’t on here. He’d tell you about sharpening. Jok.
  15. Mate . I have some Chinese water stones begging for a new home. You possibly cannot get a finer stone. Jok.
  16. Not looking too shoddy at the moment. Things are coming on.
  17. I tend to agree with Charts. I make a load of chutney every year and it’s better to be using 8/9 inch beans as they don’t need spining. Having said that, if you grow stringless varieties I suppose you can let them go on a bit. IMO . Jok.
  18. Not at 81 mate. Jok.
  19. By fck he comes out with some belters. Jok.
  20. Just picked up on this. I have a quince tree in my garden and take the fruit each year. I make quince jelly which is absolutely lovely with game especially venison. It also makes a lovely gravy. Jok..
  21. Charts. I’m guessing you’ve read this. What would you say? Jok.
  22. Don’t know where ‘fox’ came from. Jok.
  23. I could help fox but think you are a bit far away. Jok.
  24. Arry. Just an ask. Should I leave the male flowers on both courgettes and cucumber? Jok.
