Two minor points of note would be that the good camera comes at a cost of the phone been quite heavy for its size and secondily the cover of the lens on the rear of the...

    Petrol vs Diesel

    We were running a 1.6 petrol but found with the kids getting bigger that the 1.6 was getting fairly sluggish for over taking etc. Changed then to a diesel even though our mileage didn't really justify it, but I have to say find it far better to drive and has great acceleration when needed for...

    I bought one of those garden shredders in lidl a couple of years ago. I been using it to shred stuff up to approx 3/4" in diameter. Once shredded I mix it in with my grass cuttings (pretty big lawn) and then let it ferment for want of a better word. After this I break up the end result and...

    Washing powder clogging drains

    Perhaps I am wrong here but my understanding is that a water softener itself isn't the best for septic tanks. I think its something to do with the brine wash which is produced during the rengeneration process of the softener. On a side note with regard to septic tanks and washing powder I...

    Campsite recommendation in Vendee

    We booked direct with the Le Clarys Plage campsite last year which is approx 5 miles from St jean de monts, and we enjoyed it. Our 3 kids ranged in age from 14 to 9 and they were kept amused. There's a good super U (supermarket) approx 2 to 3 minute walk from the campsite and a good beach less...
