I don't know how relevant it is, but my observation on these emails from supposed search engine optimiser companies - I have burbled - have a look!

6th December

Funny how things take over and even a 5 minute witter on a website seems beyond me. Unlike my sister who has made over 300 posts on her blog over the last couple of years AND documented them all!! See www.feltabulous.blogspot.com

Lucy Lamb Crafts is really a hobby. I now have 3 aged sheep on Mum and Dad's 3 acres. They are Lucy's legacy. See Lucy's page for more on my wool cushion and rug kits, made with pure wool.

I learned to hand spin wool, though I have not done much recently. It is very time consuming, but a great way to de-stress. It never ceases to amaze me the range of colour within just one fleece. Wool is marvellous stuff.

Working in the countryside with organic poultry I have a vested interest in keeping up to date with farming and countryside matters. After the Foot and Mouth fiasco, Avian Flu, Blue Tongue and now swine flu I have to admit to being dubious about the capabilities of authorities in coping with diseases. The warmwell website http://www.warmwell.com/ of Mary Critchley's has shown more balance and highlighted the shortcomings of the authorities with a clarity rarely seen elsewhere.

I have been hard at it developing websites for various parties:

Another one - www.victoryvintagehire.co.uk if you are planning a vintage event, give this site a look. I can vouch for the stock they have. Whether it is a photo shoot, dinner or tea for two or a tea party for 500, they have china, table linen, props etc to sort you out provided you are within striking distance of the Ashbourne/Uttoxeter area. From next year there will be a 1950's caravan too.

I'm on a steep learning curve about tennis court cleaning and painting now, as I have just revamped www.allabouttennis.co.uk. UK wide tennis court cleaning, colour coating, line marking, repairs and maintenance.

For our local pub - The Plough at Greetham - www.greethamplough.co.uk. Cask ales, fine wines, good food, family and dog-friendly pub in Rutland. Well worth a visit!

Another website, my seventh I think, www.rutlandorganics.co.uk if you want a turkey that tastes of turkey, a goose or a cockerel for Christmas. I can recommend them - I get to do quite a lot of plucking in the run up to Christmas and - yes, we have turkey! Well, last year, I did a goose, stuffed with a turkey. Pity I didn't take a photo, it took me ages to debone the goose and keep the skin intact.

Food Solutions Shop will reappear in a different format shortly. Food regulation handbooks, HACCP checklist, audit checklist, training and advice, all aimed at small food businesses, charities, anyone involved with food and drink.

For my sister, Feltabulous felt. Ellie developed an affinity for felt making during her recent art course. She is building up a stock of felt art - handmade pieces framed or unframed, reflecting the lincolnshire countryside. Smaller gifts are hearts and stars, plain or embellished, all handmade which could be personalised for wedding or birthday or anniversary presents. Also see feltabulous blog.

Finally, the disappearance of the Pugglelove website has resulted in a new website puggleuk.co.uk giving information on these crossbreed dogs and availability of Puggle puppies. I also developed this site.
