    But how is the ordinary dog-owner to tell the difference? Or, for that matter, the average local 'dog-trainer/ behaviourist', that they consult when their dog shows aggression?

    So lovely. Wish I could capture skies like that. Thanks.

    'Fire put' and 'fire bowl' sound like 'pan fried' to me. Our best barbecues have always been gas bottle on re-bar, so easy to just feed with wood after the cooking. (And the washing machine drum brazier is always a handy extra).! But some friends have a Chiminea with removable top, the base of which can be used as a barbecue, and also with a paella pan on. They say they got it in B&Q but it was a fee years ago.

    Always lived by the sea. Always had at least one family member or friend who was on coast watch or cliff rescue although never a loved one on lifeboat crew. Whatever you read, and I too have heard all sorts of stuff about what charity administrators earn, and how much the RNLI gets, please don't stop supporting the lifeboats. Solomon Brown.

    Aldi's own brand London gin beat many well known brands in a blind taste test a couple of years ago. Been using it for sloes and goosebs since. It's called something 'quintessentially english' like Cromwell or Waterloo. Cheap vodka I use supermarket basic range. Greyman, any particular hips? I use just wild briar thingies for jellies, but my daughter swears by rosa rugosa for chutney.

    Thanks for the advice, Comanche. Yep. Wouldn't want to live with any other kind of dog.

    I may be double answering...my phone died. Yes of course, I'm fine with that. Ideally I'm hoping he won't actually catch anything as I'm embarrassingly squeamish and not good with blood or dead things. What I Would like to avoid is a dog with prey drive that I can't control. So far he's doing pretty well. He comes back to a whistle, even if playing / running with other dogs. He'll do a 'stay' for about a minute, with me walking off, and cyclists or other dogs walking by. He knows cats are 'friends not food' and will happily sit the other side of me in the kitchen and be fed treats in turn with

    Thanks for the welcome. I'd never heard it before either, til I came on here.

    Hey. I've been lurking on here for about 3 months. Arrived initially via google searches for training / nutrition advice for sighthound pup. Then started to look through the threads and got a bit hooked. I've been debating with myself whether or not to join because I've noticed you guys can be a bit mean about people who keep dogs simply as companions, rather than to work with, (and I think I may be a fur mummy). But surely what we all want (at least as a starting goal) is a dog that is fit, healthy and trustworthy. I had a retired racing greyhound for 10 years and never properly achie

    They sound lovely. I do rhubarb, with a couple of vanilla pods, in the summer and quince in the autumn. I use cheap vodka for the rhubarb, but better quality for the quince. I've also got gooseberry gin on the go.
