I learnt to cook, I'm sure, because for 20 of the, almost, 25 years I've been married I didn't work, and it was the only regular creative activity I had access to. That and the fact that I'm pretty greedy.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-63589549586478400652009-04-26T22:53:00.000+01:002009-04-26T22:53:00.000+01:00Sounds delish.

And here's to fizzy pop!<br /><br /> Yes, if the seasonal timing's the same there as here you can plant your onions now (just) - 10cms apart about 3cms deep and leave them in the ground until September/when the leaves start falling over. I've been doing a course but it will be next year before it pays off with produce.<br /><br />Well done on getting the work in and if the people are good then the feedback will be another step forward.Conan Drummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377667084973491628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-89622026930121525242009-04-25T12:18:00.000+01:002009-04-25T12:18:00.000+01:00Delivering the final draft of anything is always a...Delivering the final draft of anything is always a great experience.

Funny you have called them carpers because we call our workshops 'the carp sessions.' <br /><br />I haven't read the peeling onions book but now I know about it I will search out a copy.<br /><br />Savannah ~ the thing about the carpers is that they are adorable and have been very helpful, but I know in this instance I haven't given (at least one of) them quite what they were after. Still, I will aim for dignity when they do carp.<br /><br />I will now begin my nightly knitting again. I dropped it for a while there.
