    I love it, it's about the only healthy food I like.

    How is the diet going for you and the RV?

    That's not fair!

    Can he see a dietician ... hope he's ok.

    Am watching a thing called Ben Fogle's Escape in Time on BBC2 right now ... it's a challenge to do tasks from Victorian times. Yesterday they made bricks and bread. Today it looks like they will make damson jam.

    I reckon the OldStylers would be fab and win hands down!

    Edit: they are making damson butter

    Not me Mar, I remember asking you what/who the RV was years ago.
    Does make you wonder what he calls you :eek:

    So pleased I stocked piled some stuff, has been very handy whilst not been awake enough to drive to supermarket (night sweats/insomnia) only had to pop up the road for milk and bread.
    Thought about using delivery, but decided to see if I had stock piled the correct stuff, and I was very pleased with what I had, but found I had no spare sugar, so will correct that one next time.
