i found some in my local fruit shop today so maybe they are coming into season, keep your eyes peeled

i am also a dedicated op shopper, just thought i would put that in :woohoo:

all the public schools i have dealt with over the yrs have a shop usually run by p&c where you can buy new and used uniforms at a reasonable price, my grandkids school has the little dresses in perfect condition for $2 this yr, and some things for as little as $1. It might be worth asking at your school. Also my sisters children went to private…[Read more]

yes you can use a food processor my dad uses his all the time for jams, as for the seeds leave them in as they usually float to the top and can be skimmed off.

i think i saw some advertised in Daleys catalogue but cant find it to check, maybe have a look on their site, good luck

i like to pick em and eat em while wondering around, nothing like sharing a juicy fresh picked bean with the kids and now grandkids 😉

tried the cold water dip, she enjoyed it and is still clucky, I am now on the hunt for a small cage to put them in, I am not getting any eggs even though the girls look like they should be laying, very red combs, do you think the mad cluckies are putting them off :shrug:
