Just browsin' around, and it came to me like this - if someone disagrees with you, they likely feel they can tell you, in a civilised manner. Most of you are in the US and l'il ole me I am in the UK and some of us are in Oz ... all of us famed for loving our freedom of speech, right? It's the menace of our socialist government, and the PC nutcases, to confuse disagreeing with hatred. It's calling disagreeing with someone 'a hate crime' that lands pastors in jail for preaching the gospel. Of course, we can all click through, if we disagree, but if what has been said seems wrong, or harmful, some of us will respectfully (I hope) say 'I think you're wrong' and probably we'll say it in your comments. If you don't like that, you are entitled to delete that comment, but be honest, admit that you don't like people disagreeing with you. To delete the comment and then, when no one can make up their own mind by reading it, call it 'hate mail' is ... er ... not cricket! HSB is a loving place, with lots of different opinions, lots of people, a lot but not all christians, a lot of denominations, a lot of non denominations. This is not the place to be judgemental! Every now and again a spat breaks out, but you know what ladies, it's usually cos someone somewhere got bored and *wanted* to start a spat. Now I don't know about you, but when I was little and my big brother wanted to pick a fight, my mother used to say 'ignore him, he's only trying to get you into a row!' and she was right, you know. So anyway, has anyone made hard cheese? Proper pressed cheese? We bought a mini kit a while back and have just eaten our first lot - a white, crumbly, Caerphilly type cheese from this book and it was fabulous. Now I just have to try to make like one a week or something, and store them ... somewhere! We are pretty much living from the garden now, over run with peas, carrots, courgettes (zucchini to you) spinach beet, lettuce, beetroot, turnips ... lots of eggs from our chickens and the girls' bantams, plenty of milk, and not long since had a couple of mutton sheep done, so lots of meat available too. I've given up going shopping! It is somewhat hard work though, and what with riding twice a day to try to get ponies fit for Pony Club Camp which unbelievably is next week, I am very tired. So I'll go and water my polytunnel and say goodnight.
