Wow, summer is here and things are really moving in the garden!  Looking back at my June pics you can see that everything has shot up enormously.  The potatoes have taken over half the patio area so I’ve had to spread everything out to make sure all the plants get their fair share of sunshine.     I’ve [...]

I discovered that most paint contains something called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). These are chemicals which can cause indoor air pollution that is bad for the environment and [...]

Our new car…

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:50:52 +0000
