Good question! My compost probably gets a year at least to rot down.
Originally called Tea Scented China Roses because the blossoms smelled of a freshly opened packet of China tea.

Not sure Sue but they disappear in my compost! Perhaps because we use cheap ones from Aldi Tea bags are another matter, they go in the bin.

Just a thought about the single quotation marks, could it be because they are apostrophes not quotation marks that they show an error?

You are so lucky being able to recycle soft plastic. I'm lucky to have large compost bins in the garden! All my kitchen waste (except meaty things and there isn't much of that) goes out to the compost including paper towels used to wipe up fat and small paper items like shop receipts.

A link to an interesting discussion between Ivor Cummins, who is now working to get the CAC (coronary artery calcification) score accepted as a marker of heart disease, and cardiologist Aseem Malhotra who is setting up a randomised control trial to study if heart disease can be put into remission, l...

Great news Ian. Take care out there!

Read all that, and as many links as my old iPad could manage. I get what is being said. What is it that Col doesn't agree with? (The thought I had is that Diabetics come in all shapes and sizes and I have met some stick thin ones. I can't imagine them losing more weight will achieve anything. I hav...

I love Vera too! Try reading the books that the TV series is based on. The author Ann Cleves also wrote the Shetland books, on which another wonderful tv series is based. She has now put both Vera and Shetland to one side and is starting with a new character in Cornwall I think.

There is more conflicting information there than I can handle. Me too. :smile: - but I'm a simple soul, and when something manifestly doesn't make sense you've got to give it some thought. This article helps to explain the process. Colin fell out with the local low carb group because the chap in ch...

ITV 4 are showing the race live for most of each day plus catch up on demand and the highlights programme!

Metformin doesn't work on a meal to meal basis, it has a cumulative effect on the liver and its release of glucose into the blood.

Her father married again pretty quickly! He has a new wife called Nancy by 1861!

There is a Jane Widdup born about 1836 and married, living alone as head of household in Colne in the 1861 census. Birthplace given as Broach Flat which is Foulridge. Jane Wilkinson aged 5 in the 1841 census living at Great Broach Foulridge. Higher Broach in the 1851 census She marries again at St P...

Fay Oldland lists Sand Hall amongst the historic houses of Foulridge in her book "The Story of Foulridge". Sand Hall 1606 Sandall 1708 Sand Hoall 1843 Sand Hole. The name derives from the sand deposits left by the glaciers, being originally the site of a sand pit. This small sand quarry was used in ...

I found a photo in my Colne archive! I think this will be from the 1970's, it looks like a working farm.

I doubt if it will have looked anything like that in the 19th century!

Dan would be the same age as our son whose birthday is next week on the 18th, though we didn't know him till he was 3!

Still there Sue but called Sand Hall on current OS maps. I was thrown by the name Moss House on that map, as the Moss House Farm I know is the other side of Foulridge. That Moss House now seems to be called Holly Bush Farm! Some lovely walking in that area.

Those might be red spider mites which are plant feeders but they are tiny. Red mites, which trouble the hens, are grey until they have filled up on blood!

All pig classes at the Great Yorkshire Show have been cancelled because one pig showed signs of illness at a recent show. There must be concern in the pig breeding community.

I believe we have the nameplate in our Archive Room now. Only the engine shed and chimney remain on New Road.

I have had another email today from a distant genealogical find. A Widdup this time wishing to visit the homeland and wanting places to visit. I have suggested St Mary the Ghyll, The Anchor Inn, the local History library at Colne. I have offered to meet up but it depends when the visit is. This fam...

Are you in Australia or Britain with your line of Samuels Maz? Re the cake baking, I now have a Wuthering Heights image stuck in my head. Cathy (you of course), hair streaming in the wind and holding a tray containing said cake and little china plates, gazing out across the windswept moor waiting fo...
