    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Changing the subject...

    A couple of months ago I gave Mr MWC the use it or lose it ultimatum for lovefilm and since then we've seen some really good films :T

    Tonight we watched a superb film - Incendies - harrowing but very watchable

    We are entertaining again today.. our friends are bringing their new to them 16-month old daughter to meet us and the chickens :cool:

    Not too much tidying up to do after yesterday and we are eating leftovers so just guacamole and salad to make today :T

    I've started hacking back the neighbour's tree because I was fed up with it. I need to get the saw out for the thicker bits and the step ladder to try and reach the top. Previous neighbours paid someone to chop it back probably 4 years ago now and it has grown about 10 feet since :eek:

    It cured my hayfever. The honey that is.

    As for the ageing honey

    Great lines Alchemilla and I like your amendment Tilly :rotfl:

    I'll buy some honey from the next farmer's market and give it a go (sounds nicer than nettles!) - 1 tsp a day?

    How about 'get your hand off ma man or I'll deck ya'. Or were you looking for more subtle than that :D. In which case I'll bow out :rotfl:.

    Yep one teaspoon a day.
    Gally I have met this type before if MWC says that then the vintage honey will think she has caused some jealousy with her gorgeousness and WON!!
