Talking of wine, we tried one of those 6 bottles in 6 days kits over Christmas. It turned out OK.

So we bought one that makes 30 bottles and have been bottling that today. Now doing some testing.

So is that 30 bottles in 30 days, your liver will be in serious need of a holiday

You don't know how difficult it has not been to get 30 empty bottles in a week Helen. We could have done with your

and I would have gladly given it had I known

Talking of wine I just spotted a post from Shaun saying he'd booked to go to Madeira ........ Have a lovely holiday Shaun

Got to share this one with you

Was looking for the quote by C. J. J. Berry (First Steps In Winemaking) on making wine in bulk "It Is Very Little More Trouble To Make Five Gallons Than To Make One (And It Lasts Nearly Twice As Long)"

While looking for the quote I found the book as a PDF "The Classic" winemaking guide if you don't have a copy this is bound to be a help. Can't give you a link to the page but it is the PDF at the top of this Google search:

Thanks Mr Itch.

We will bring samples next time we meet up.

You looking for people to assist on a quality control assessment?
Well it's a hard job but someone needs to do it!

We thought you might be up for it.

I cant believe January is nearly over,it always feels like such a long month and now it will soon be Easter

Could be a white Easter

we're all clear here now it's a lovely day apart from being a bit windy it's the sort of day you want to hook up and go.

Until you go outsided and it's feezing

Seeing as though we're talking of Easter, it'll be mothers day soon too ...... last year I didn't have a clue what to do for my mum but had a brainwave and gave her this ..... along with flowers

It's nice to dig through the old photo's every now and again, so I ended up doing this type of thing for everyone so they all have their own little story on disc. It costs nothing and is a unique to them gift

Very nice that Beadle guy had a good idea about parents and grand parents,he said sit them in front of a video camera and start them talking about there life,that will give your family something to treasure

That's a cracking idea, will do that too it'll be lovely to have them to look at forever. X

You may find some hidden laughs,i needed a birth certificate for nancys mum as part of the problems i have been sorting,she had said her middle name was Ella,the birth certificate came back with Ellan on it,the story's is her farther went to register the birth 84 years ago had a few celebratory drinks and got it wrong ,the family decided to ignore it and stick with Ella

I can still remember the story's that my grandparent's told us ..... they weren't stories that was their life. I don't think at the time we appreciated just what amazing people they were or that they had ever been young. We have the awful economy at the moment but it doesn't really compare to what they endured through the wars.

The wind is really howling now, reminds me of the Woodhall meet

Oldham athletic 3 Liverpool 2

nah nah na na na

I don't really do football but had to watch the match because John was watching it and they played like troopers

Just a flying visit to say this week our old dog has been very unwell again, hes lost over a kilo in weight and has not been a happy chappy at all. So today we took the hard, but right decision of putting him to sleep.

He was 16 years 4 months old, he had been with us since 28th March 2001. Before he came to us he was a working dog and had never even been inside a house, it didn't take him long to settle in though.

In the years he had with us, he has done everything we have done, hes been to car shows, steam rallies, loved camping and beaches, he even eventually started to enjoy astronomy - as long as he had me and a thick quilt lol.

RIP - Bomff.

I don't want to say anything, because there is nothing I can say.
Then if everyone did that it looks like people are ignoring you and I'm sure that wouldn't be the case.
Whether it says good or bad about me I've felt more for animals than I have for people at times.

I'd say dogs are like marriage and that there are no good ends except the the bad end is the one of loss when still loved, no cheating, deceit or fickleness with dogs.

He was loved and that's all that really matters, I am sad for you and Wayne as we know what your going through X X X

RIP Bomff

With you both he had lots of fun and love, RIP Bonff

Cazz & Wayne, you have our thoughts and
We know where you are at.
He knew he was loved, he had you both under his paw.
