    try drilling a 1/4" hole in the pot lid. It cuts down on boil-overs, gives a visiblel jet of steam as the pot's hot, and doesn't loose any real heat or make a mess.

    Hi Carol & Ken. Black pudding is a sausage made from powdered pigs blood with oats etc, white pudding is more of normal sausage meat with grains etc. Veg pudding here we call veg roll, simply because there's some veg in it, usually leeks etc. Clonakilty puddings are posh, and delicious versions of these.

    It's nice to see parts of the country I have yet to visit the canals museum in Gloucester is a fun place especially the steering simulator.
    I did notice when you were looking for a parking space that if some people had parked properly you would have fitted in the empty space next to them, my late father taught me to drive (retired motorway police) and I make sure that when going into a space I reverse in and the vehicle is dead centre even though I own a 4x4 pickup truck belong to a group who hate Chelsea tractors something that I was told years ago it is common courtesy when on a hill to give the vehicle coming up the right of way as it is easier to start going down than up.
    One thing instead of using a cloth to clear the windows I have invested in a Karcher window vacuum it has really earned its keep.

Thanks for the support and shout out too! Funny thing is, we went back to the car park where it happened ( during the day) on our latest trip and we both agreed that we would still park there again ( if the incident hadn’t happened) the car park is in a decent looking area, no rubbish or evidence of drug taking or broken glass etc. Ken saying he would have parked there made us feel better about things too.

      There is another car park (I live a few miles away) - at the end of the high street turn left and it's up behind the petrol station. If you turn into Bourton from the Fosseway at the lights. then it's on that road and on your right. Do check though if you come in a camper van as I think they were no longer allowing them to park there at some point soon. For a tourist hotspot it does makes parking a pain! Though in the summer a couple of fields open and it's cheap all day parking, both are off the road that you turn into from the traffic lights - one if by the school. Have fun :)

    I hope you don't mind but as someone that knows how to lose weight quickly may I give you a few pointers? I just lost 40 lbs in a month. If you eat bread, it's the same as deserts. If you skip the bread and other carbs you can eat desert. Avoid all for quick weight loss. For sweetness get Raw Kombucha, it great for digestion.
    Bone broth, sprouts, meat, cabbage, quinoa, beans, things like that work wonders. I know that beans and quinoa are carbs but they move things along. I have lost 120 in 3 months a couple of times. I just fall off the wagon in stressful situations, hence weight gain. That's with no exercise, btw.
