When you need a drive about road sweeper ... to clear your "yard" ... you know it's time for.....

There are pressure washers that'll run off a tank or water butt.

Petrol driven washer, that runs off a butt, £399.

Not "cheapest", just the first I found - to illustrate that they exist

For your yard, you need to be looking at 120 bar really. 100 bar is a normal person's patio .... so 120 bar's more what you need to be checking for.

Dh had an 'award winning' scotch egg this evening, he says its terrible ompated to the blavk pudding ones, and that his all time avourite is from a butcher in somerset.

my arms ache and I'm scratchy from weeds but we have almost finished the first bed at the allotment and I have made inroads into the "meadow" at home. Dinner break now and I must run outside to prep more beans as we have more space now than that I thought and I can grow enough beans to my heart's content.

Love a scotch egg.... easy to make, but I'd only want one a year, so can't make them myself with those quantities in mind.

Surely you don't need to make scotch eggs on any scale. All you need is an egg and a couple of sausages and a slice of bread, none of which need to be bought in bulk?

Although probably a hell of a lot easier to just but one for 59p or whatever it is they cost.
