Its crazy at schools. Your own children have a list of things they cant bring for lunch in case another child touches it. Gone are the days of peanut butter sandwiches. I was pretty sure that you would have to list ingredients but i though a funny sign listing all the things you dont have in your food might be an amusing advertising sign. Something to talk about while they buy all your goodies.

We had never seen rain like we had at the weekend here in Ireland, we did witness it once in Spain where it washed a road away and a twenty foot bank, this was all in the space of a couple of hours.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-69183076856651990062015-12-08T17:01:17.021-08:002015-12-08T17:01:17.021-08:00I list all the ingredients that my products contai...I list all the ingredients that my products contain plus highlight those that are known allergens which is now the law in the EU. Do things in Oz have to be listed and allergens marked as such?<br />I'm thinking of selling bunched herbs for the last two fairs what with Christmas and all that, don't know how well they will sell but worth a try.

Oh, and that they are made with love. Everyone wants to buy love. LOL So weird you are talking of winter veg when our spring veg are frying and going to seed too early. Such a waste. Since im going to have a scorcher summer will i have fat leek syndrome? I grew up in the river districts that experienced periodic flooding. So destructive.

In fact the road where this lough is was closed on Saturday, not because of the lough though, the surrounding bog had reached saturation point and the water level was five feet above the road level. The photo of the totally flooded field is today back to normal but I doubt the cattle will go back onto it until spring.<br />I suspect the skinny leek syndrome was caused by the cool summer.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-34443005661933812662015-12-07T07:46:35.661-08:002015-12-07T07:46:35.661-08:00Robinsons Mammoth leeks and onions seeds and plug ...Robinsons Mammoth leeks and onions seeds and plug plants are well worth trying Anne. They win prizes at Chelsea every year. We use to buy veg plants from them in Forton near Lancaster when went to the lake district.

The flooding looks awful, and it's only December so the worst is still to come, I expect.

The first lots of leaks got smothered by the sweet peas, the one in the picture is one of those, the other ones were planted late as a backup in case the sweet pea ones didn't do anything so I guess there's still time for the second lot to put on weight.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-62835479722978126522015-12-07T02:13:43.347-08:002015-12-07T02:13:43.347-08:00I've heard quite a few people mention their le...I've heard quite a few people mention their leeks being a bit on the skinny side this year. Treat them as a delicacy, the supermarkets would probably call them baby leeks and charge you a fortune for them. The flooding is terrible, isn't it? I do feel for the poor souls who have only just got over the last lot of flooding for it just to happen to them again, it's terrrible. Your cats look lovely and snug, they certainly know how to find the best spots in the house.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
