Your neighbours will be grateful. Isn't it nice to have made a dish which will provide several meals? We are currently working our way through a large pan of Veggie soup. Tomorrow will be the third (& last) day. All veggies which needed eating up(potatoes,carrots, onion, garlic, parsnip, green and red pepper, parsnip, celery ) and a large handful of split red lentils which have lurked in a jar in my cupboard for a very long time. Really delicious soup!

Accross the road from us is a footpath and between three neighbours we keep the grass and nettles back. You'd wait forever for tne council to come. I also pick up the odd litter, clean the 30 mph street sign and road name if needed. Just looking after blighty.

It looks amazing and very healthy.Ive got mint and chives in mine,which i think i mentioned a few months ago,is made out of an old wicker laundry box.My kitchen scraps celery stump is growing its 3rd lot now,so while its still growing,i will keep eating!Ive still only got 2 tomatoes on my plant,but one has gone red now so that will be used soon!My kitchen scraps garlic seems to be doing ok,its got very long leaves on it now,...God knows what it looks like under the soil!!...Im not to sure when to attempt to pull it out!!..oh and my kitchen scraps potatoes look ok aswell..they are also planted in an old wicker drawer.You have given me an idea for my dinner tonight..i just wish that my hubby would eat less meat!!,Braising steak for him...We too are layering up on our clothing..and you know what ..i feel much healthier for doing so.I think the central heating makes me feel sluggish.Only thing is,with hubby being disabled he cant move around fast like i do,so feels the cold more.But we are doing ok with it at the moment...Im having another sort through any stuff we dont use today.There isnt as much as there was because i have already done it about 3 or 4 times this year.It will either be reused in some way or given to the animal charity shop.It feels so much better now and gives me more brain space!!..Although,there are still some things that i cant bare to part with,lol.Oh,you have given me so many ideas over this last year Ilona,so thanks!!,Hope your all having a good day,Debi,xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-3487642606840251662017-09-20T08:13:44.524+01:002017-09-20T08:13:44.524+01:00Your supper looks delicious, I think I can see chi...Your supper looks delicious, I think I can see chives, parsley and mint in your herb bed. I'm not a fan of the winter, dark now at 7pm. However, a very good result with putting bath/hair washing water down the loo - the water bill has reduced dramatically, thank you for this tip (have been given water buckets so will be using those as well when we have the next downpour). We're also getting the jumpers on as we had an e-mail from our gas & electric supplier saying they were going to double our monthly payment as winter approaching, spoke to a lovely lady and told her we weren't happy about that as our consumption is low and we're never in debt to them, I asked her if she had heard of you and your money-saving tips, she had, and she agreed to keep our payments the same. So thank you again!

Your problem ...Your planter of herbs looks amazing!<br />Your problem with the path reminds me of something that happened here a couple of months ago. Apparently there was a rather steep slope leading into one of the parks and people had requested some steps from the city. The "Study" that had to be done indicated that these few steps would cost an unbelievable amount of money and therefore could not be built at this time. An enterprising retired fellow in the neighbourhood - with a background in this type of work - built the needed steps and installed them over a weekend much to the delight of the park's users. Of course Health & Safety got involved and ordered him to remove them under threat of arrest because they couldn't possibly be safe (but folks falling down the steep slope was somehow ok). Cue the hue and cry in the papers and the media and the city suddenly found the money and the manpower to install a proper set of stairs in a matter of days! That man should have gotten a medal!Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-35340844913424901712017-09-20T02:55:01.627+01:002017-09-20T02:55:01.627+01:00Your herb planter is fantastic.Your herb planter is fantastic.Barbara M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06438114347870523265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-61956748201530265762017-09-20T02:01:08.902+01:002017-09-20T02:01:08.902+01:00Good on you for cutting the hedge - I do the same ...Good on you for cutting the hedge - I do the same with litter. While following some of your local walks, I use Google Maps to get a better idea of the scenery, and came upon an interesting fact. The Brough Aerodrome to the North of you and across the Trent is the world's oldest aerodrome. BAE has a facility there, but Wiki doesn't say if it's still in use. Keep up the good work.
