Regenerative is the new kid on the block, rather edgy, slick style but promising a down to earth feel. So in the marketing eyes of the British Retail Consortium who are they going to run with? Who...

    Best smell of the year

    Someone said today that the best smell is freshly rolled cereals in the spring. My entry would be freshly spread rotten muck in the autumn or possibly freshly mown grass. Any other thoughts?

    The good old days?

    Dad worked on farms in the 1950's-1970's. He bought his first house in about 1976 when no longer working on farms so at least he managed to get a foothold outside of tied cottages. Always a mixed blessing.

    Plant on a pond

    I hadn’t been to this pond for a while, then bought a water Lilly at a sale for it, went to plant it and found the whole pond covered in 2 or 3” of this. Does anyone know what it is? Or how I can get rid of it? Does some kind of fish eat it by the tonne?
