Sweet Peppers

Advantages: Taste lovely
Disadvantages: When growing from seed it takes a long time

...Growing Sweet Peppers I took a gap year out and the communities I seen along the way grew a lot of their own food, which inspired me to grow some vegetables of my own. I decided to be adventurous and grow peppers. They are quite hard work but worth it in the end when you are cutting off the delicious peppers to eat. Sweet peppers are in the same family as tomatoes and potatoes. They produce large fruits, which can be yellow, green and red depending on how ripe it is. **HOW TO GROW** From February/March onwards you can scatter seeds thinly onto moistened compost. Keep this compost moist but not soaked. Cover the seeds with about half a centimetre of compost, then glass and newspaper. Turn the glass daily to prevent condensation dripping onto the seedlings. I have successfully germinated seeds with just newspaper over them in...

The Mill Inn - - the inn on the canal

Advantages: Lovely location, comfortable and friendly
Disadvantages: None that I can see

...The Mill Inn was converted from an old grain mill in 1992 into a 15 bedroom hotel, set in its own intensive grounds - it was then known as Thurnham Mill. Last year it had a major refurbishment and its name was changed to The Mill Inn. The Mill Inn is part of the Mitchells chain. Mitchells of La ncaster Istarted in 1871, William Mitchell signed the lease on his very first pub and brewhouse - The Black Horse Inn, in Lancaster.

A Beautiful Traditional Greek Mill

Advantages: Fantastic Situation, old world charm and good food
Disadvantages: A Bit off the Beaten Track - will neeed a car

...We came across this hotel quite by accident. It was while we were heading for the village of Troodos and decided that it was time to stop as the evening was closing in and we hadn't found any suitable accommodation. The road left would have taken us into Troodos but we took the right turning to Kyperounda and followed the hilly road down the mountain. If you take the left turn at the bridge you will enter the village of Kakopetria. This is where the Mill Hotel is situated and what an unusual sight it is. Built into the mountain this building is an awesome sight when looking up to the top floor. The building has been renovated as originally the old Mill stopped working in the 1950's as milling became expensive and imported flour became available. This led to the mill closing down and eventually it fell into disrepair until it was bought...

Stainsby Mill, Derbyshire

Advantages: Lots of history
Disadvantages: Admission charges

...Stainsby Mill enjoys a location within the idyllic setting of the small village of Doe Lea in North Derbyshire. It's very close to junction 29 of the M1 motorway but with its rural location you could be easy to think that you were miles away from anyway. This is a rare example of a 19th century water powered flour mill. It is now owned and managed by The National Trust but what makes this place especially unusual is that it is still in everyday use and the end product of bags of flour are still commercially sold. I had previously visited Caudwell's Mill in Rowsley, Derbyshire which is about twenty miles from here and I was expecting to find quite a few similarities. Both of these flour mills are still operated by a water wheel, they both still produce flour but the similarities seem to end there. Whilst Caudwell's Mill uses...

Dr. Pepper - Delicious!!!!!

Advantages: tastes nice and is good value for money
Disadvantages: high sugar content

... What Is It Dr. Pepper is a ?sparkling fruit-flavour soft drink? made by the coca-cola company. It was first served in 1885 and introduced nationally in the United States in 1904 as a new kind of soft drink. It comes in 330ml cans, 500ml bottles and 2L bottles. There is also a diet version called Dr. Pepper Zero. The packaging of Dr. Pepper is instantly recognisable, a dark red colour with what looks like splash marks and the name of the drink in white writing. The cans are entirely red and the bottles just have red labels. Ingredients and Nutritional Information Carbonated Water, Sugar, Colour (caramel (E150d), Flavourings (including caffeine), Phosphoric Acid, Preservative (E211) There are most likely flavourings left off the list to keep the ?secret? of how to get that unique taste. The typical nutritional values...

Quarry Bank Mill

Advantages: Interesting and educational
Disadvantages: none

...Brief history?. Quarry bank mill has one of the only working water mill left in Britain. It is situated in the beautiful village of Styal, on the banks of the River Bollin The Mill was built by Samuel Greg in 1784, with the giant metal water wheel being built between 1816 and 1820. The original wheel broke in 1904 and was replaced years later by another iron wheel to make the Mill the proud owner of the last remaining working water wheel in Europe. The mill was used for the 'spinning' of cotton (and is still used for that purpose today but more for visitors to see rather than commercial use), it was soon the largest cotton producing factory in its time. Weaving was introduced to the Mill in 1834 by Robert Greg, (son of Samuel), so as to keep up with the revolution. Samual Greg was an unusually kind employer for the time...

Pepper With Everything

Advantages: Loaded with caffiene and very tasty
Disadvantages: An acquired taste

...Ah...so misunderstood. Dr Pepper is the underdog of the soft drinks world, its tail firmly between its legs as Coke & Pepsi get the loin?s* share of sexy teen-pop stars and footballers to entice your sex-glands - and your wallet into buying their beverages in the vain hope that you?ll be as cool as David ?Bender? Beckham by supping on plant extracts of a legal nature. A word to the wise ? you won?t. Put a dirty 2 pence piece in a glass of Coke overnight, look at it in the morning, then imagine your guts doing the same thing. Dr Pepper has to plump for ?jokey? commercials ? you aren?t cool if you drink Dr Pepper and you probably never will be, advertised as it is by geek-boys getting into compromising situations. ?Butt Naked Boy? is hardly a moniker to be proud of, now is it? Despite all this deeley, I find myself drawn to Dr Pepper...

♫ Get on down to Trago Mills ♫

Advantages: cheap, affordable products
Disadvantages: price stickers leave a mark, and you have to pay extra for carrier bags

...TRAGO MILLS - "More than you bargain for" ----------------------------------------------------------- Mum: I think we should maybe decorate the bathroom next? Dad: Yes OK then would you like to pop down to Trago at the weekend? Mum: Yeah that sounds good Little Fluffy: Can we have some toys? Sister: Can we have some sweets? Mum and Dad: No, we are going to look at a new bathroom suit. Little Fluffy + Sister: *sulks* Little Fluffy: Can we feed the ducks? Mum: Yeah if we have time Sister: Can we have some toys? Mum and Dad: No Every trip to Trago resulted in an exciting flurry of questions. I loved Trago when we had a few pounds to spend on pens, pencils, pocket toys and sweets. We could get so much more for our money compared to most high street stores. On our way down the A38 we couldn't help but sing the ditty "Trago...

Review of Trago Mills (Liskeard)

Run of the Mill? A bit disappointing

Advantages: Nice room
Disadvantages: Nasty food

...I stayed at the Mill House recently and was simultaneously impressed and depressed by what I found. I liked my room, which was exceptionally pretty and I liked the setting but the food was poor, the service 'patchy' and the public areas just a bit too much like a 1980s country pub with no customers. Location The hotel is in the tiny village of Ashington, about ten miles north of Worthing and just off the A24. If you don't know it's there, you'll struggle to find it as it's located down a pot-holed track off a poorly sign-posted side-road to the dual carriageway. Luckily someone led me to the right road as I think it would have been very easy to miss. First Impressions First impressions were that it looked very pretty, rural and twee but on closer inspection the rather verdant gardens were a bit too overgrown - beyond...
