What have done towards your prep?

Didn't think of them getting all sticky though. Thought the powdered sugar would stop that.

Nope. Take it from someone who was trying to find ways to store sweets. Now,I'm looking at making my own.

Remember to write up that recipe when it's good and ready. I was going to just stick to caramalising sugar and enjoy thing that when it cooled.

Today I have finally taken collection of my 36 Broadhead arrow tips!!!

I thought I'd ordered 32ish, but it seems the package was actually 36. Sent as a gift, values at US$10.00 which is all 100% accurate and genuine. God bless Ameri......CHINA!!!

i have been looking at the large wooden crates you get in some DIY supermarkets and garden centres-the ones they put seed potatoes and other stuff in, i think they would make good compost bins and other things, but i expect they just dump them or break them up when they've finished with them.

Used to work for a garden centre, and if you ask I'm sure they would keep one by for you. In fact if you keep your eye open and check when they renew their pergolas, decking and the like on display they are often binned as well. I got all the decking and didn't buy any wood for the fire a whole winter!
