Carni we make chilli up in batches and use the pour and store freezer bags. You can get them at Lakeland and they are brilliant.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas! What? Over The Top....Us?

Here we are at the Winter Solstice once again. Time to bring in your Yule Logs. This connection to trees goes back to the beginnings of our time on this earth. Soon it will be the first day of the Celtic Tree Calendar, an ancient system which catalogues the seasons and their corresponding trees, moods and energies. It was always accepted that a tree should be asked before removing something from it, and thanked for its gift. The first day is 24th December and the tree for this month is the Birch, or (Beith in the Ogham Alphabet) The Birch was known as the Lady Of The Wood, a tree of healing

I would go with albino siskin, going by the yellow on its back and it's definite finch beak. I think it depends on the extent of albino in the animal to the eye colour, Katyjay, and this one had some colour on its back so is not a pure albino.

Hi Swe62, welcome to Nottstalgia

Busy making a batch of mincepies to take to Quiz Night at Harby (the one near Newark) tonight. Having new health issues now (ie diabetes) I decided to check out the calorific value of my homemade mince pies, bearing in mind I use a rich pastry with high fat content, eggs and other very bad things!!! After an hour of beating my brains doing weighing and sums check out this.....each regular sized mince pie contains 180 Kcals (I won't bore you with all the other nutritional content). So I then compared it to a bought mincepie....brace yourselves folks....a minimum of 220 Kcals!!!! I shall carry o

Happy Birthday Albert Smith
