@CRTNorthWest Could you please contact me regarding the septic tank at Hunt’s Lock on the River Weaver. There is an outstanding balance for work carried out on the tank

A new addition to the family. This is Luna our Patterdale pup. Something tells me Luna is short for Lunatic!!!

@ecobard Just like his hero, TACO, Farage always chickens out.

It’s been a bad winter for the bees. Several empty hives but so pleased to see these girls out enjoying some dry weather

@Mofoman360 Only if we can also have another referendum regarding the European Union.

@manda_m0 The sad thing is that those who voted for it are probably those who can least afford effects of Brexit

@benonwine Who pays you to peddle this drivel?

@SuzieWo20886208 The British economy has the resilience of a wet paper bag. The slightest squeeze and the service sector collapses. Outsourcing has fucked this country and made a few people richer.

Viking’s Blood. It’s turned out really well

@higgledygarden I wear contact lenses in the pool so need goggles if doing any serious swimming or the lenses just float away

Last September a surprise fall in inflation to 1.7%. This September a surprise hold in inflation at 3.8% when experts had predicted a peak of 4%. Each 0.1% saving the government Billions of pounds. Just how independent is the @ONS ???

@MurdishawM @RuncornLinnets Good luck

Mirabellle plums from near the in-laws, 700g of plums, 500g of normal sugar and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice

[River Weaver Cottage @therivercottage]

@WildIndigoArt Last year was poor for damsons and plums but this year there is a bumper crop on the way. It will keep me busy making wines and jams

[River Weaver Cottage @therivercottage]

Waste not want not. Wax cappings are full of honey so I’m making mead from them.

[River Weaver Cottage @therivercottage]

@WildIndigoArt I have an abundance of wild raspberries, plums and damsons in the garden so may use those

[River Weaver Cottage @therivercottage]

@WildIndigoArt I’ve made it before but I’m going to try making Viking’s Blood with this batch

[River Weaver Cottage @therivercottage]

I can’t believe how heavy this super was. There must be at least 10 kg of honey in there.
