    I would hav liked more follow up on all th families. I have learnt a couple of things though. 1) i' ve always cut open hand creams etc but never thought tocut hem 2/3 down to make lid
    2) i have sliced and frozen left over lemons when i needed 1 and had to buy a net
    And something i learned today from another source - add a slosh of white vinegar to water to boil j cloths in. Wondering i i can use brown vinegar next time?

    I suppose that last programme was very mse in its way. They saved money by rehashing bits from previous programmes with a tiny bit of new footage revisiting a couple of families. A bit like using up leftovers really.:rotfl:

    Hartington Hall in Derbyshire. They got the idea for that feature from my blog, I stayed there in December. It is fabulous, like a five star hotel, at hostel prices. If you are not a member you need to add on £3 per person per night. I can see beds available in dormitories for £15 at the moment, but you may wish to book a private room. There is fabulous walking in the area, I love it there.

    Wow you'd never think that was a youth hostel, it looks great.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

  • I made the polish that was featured on one of the episodes, omg, its gorgeous. It was

    1 tbsp lemon
    3 tbsp olive oil (i used vegetable oil)
    Essential oil (i used lemon)

    Mix together and dip your duster in. It really brings up wood to a lovely shine, and smells lovely.

    I buy mine by the gallon from my local branch of Wing Yip (4 x 5l bottles for £5). You could try any Asian supermarket or cash and carry.
