Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Some fab-u-lous newting today :)
I want to see the hogs Mrs J!
We went for a hike. First time doing over 10 hilly miles in months. Also a new coffee stop - we had an ace coffee and toasted sourdough sandwich. Such a treat :)

Oh sounds fab B!

I had my rather disappointing Newt sourdough rye I baked the other day. Although the Newt starter looked really feisty, the boule collapsed into a dense flat thing. It wasn't bad actually, with avocado and poached eggs...

Mandy, I love newt things! It is in my nature to delight in little things in nature when they spring up every year and also things like trying newt things: sourdough rye, growing citrus, learning printmaking, weaving a basket... That sort of thing.
I am hoping to start making my own skep this weekend, if the weather collaborates, for my bees!

Oh and another newt:
I planted little yellow primula plugs on my entrance bank. It is surprising how much the teeny things stand out actually. These are the pale yellow wild ones.

Newt 1, I met with my friend for the first time this year. We walked 10k along the river and chatted non-stop; then went to Costa to get a coffee but they shut 2 minutes before we got there.
So, newt 2, I got a Costa coffee from the machine in Tesco, which I've never done before (I didn't even know they had a coffee machine in the shop).

Newt #3 was trying a spiced coffee and enjoying it - I'm not a fan of coffee normally, but this was really creamy so I'll have it again.

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
