Yesterday afternoon based on the advice I’d received in my previous post about growing herbs I headed over to my local Homebase to see what was on offer. I was pretty impressed with the range of idiot proof kits that they have on offer for growing herbs and vegetables at home easily. The “grow your [...]

Grilling Is Healthy
I used to work in a steak restaurant with an open grill back in the early 1990s. I got used to the taste of grilled meat, so I’ve been using a George Foreman grill of some kind for as long as I can remember.I knew it was a healthier option, but hadn’t realised how healthy [...]
