Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the service.

By chance I went on the old Forum yesterday - found that someone had PM'ed me from that forum only a few days ago.   I hadn't got any notification of a PM, but obviously the old Forum PM system still works    It might be worth doing the odd visit

Didn't think the offer would last long - glad I got it though [that sounds selfish - probably is!] --------------- " ......... hope the queuing system works efficiently - and that roads from the ports don't get clogged with the drive-off traffic." There will definitely be a case for turning left at the docks exit onto the road up the [steepish] hill and back to London on the old A2, thus avoiding the crush through Dover itself

Surely a small handful of roughly chopped Basil added a couple of minutes before serving would add to the flavour?

"very few soups to be found in supermarkets around here in Marche" Up around Lakes Orta & Maggiore there appear to be numerous packets of soups - mainly minestrone, vegetable and lentil/bean/pulses - there must have been 20+ varieties on the shelves - but no tomato

"I'd be thinking about lining the walls with something that didn't get so cold." The normal solution would be to either line the walls with insulated plasterboard or construct a 'stud' wall against the existing walls Either method would usually involve using professionals and would knock up to about 100mm/wall off of the size of the room -and things like power points and switches will need moving. If its just a 'small' wall that is the problem, you could cover it with dense cork floor tiles [and make it a pin board!]
