Eglu

We're thinking of getting a cube. Has anyone had any experiences with Eglu good or bad?

I tried searching on here but found nothing - am very interested in opinions.

Thanks!

Hi

If you are near a Sainsburys pick up one of their magazines. I was reading mine last night and there are some fab cherry recipes in there!

OH : If you watch Countryfile on Sunday you should see some real holiday destinations to make you cancel Norfolk, make you renew your passport and venture up North. It's from the Yorkshire Dales, principally Wensleydale I think. I saw John Craven last Wednesday who was talking about how he'd like t...

Apple Trees

A friend of mine has two apple trees both a couple of years old

The apples have dropped off the branches bar a couple - does anyone know why this would be?

One is a Worcester Permain and the other is a Peasgood Nonesuch.

Thanks x

They have a sensor or something that goes off and alerts the bird to danger so they have a chance to get away. I think they're about £10 each. Considering getting them for my two but they ...
