You're in East Anglia, aren't you? Have you ever been to Anglesey Abbey in February? Snowdrops there and the winter garden are stunning.

downside is their dogs policy :(

My dog is named Rose after the rose garden there.

I love mine and have hardly used the oven since I got it well over 12 months ago.

Also have the Ninja airfryer when it was a bargain price plus same with the Power Nutri Blender.

They currently have a good sale on and there is the BLC discount as well.

Try code NINJAWADDEC as well. Might well save you a bit extra... (might not work on all products)

Only had mine a few months and like you I’ve hardly used the oven since.

It’s so much quicker and easier, especially the “one pot” meals, plus I’m now a dab hand at proper rice pudding:)

Next challenge is home baked bread.

Have you found The Salted pepper on You Tube? She's good.

I've not used the slow cooker function on mine though as I have one of those that's years old. Enjoy your bread.

I’ve watched it a few times for tips.
This is the family favourite and is stunning:

The FBook group “Ninja Foodi Group UK’s best & most exciting” is very helpful, plus a guy named David Small who has a book out “The Big Metric Ninja Foodi Cookbook” is on the group and will often post other recipes or links to other publications.

Car-flip farmer cleared of dangerous driving and criminal damage

Admittedly, it was kind of reckless, but I'm glad the yobs didn't win.

Have a great deal if sympathy for him - but am surprised he got away with it. After all he, effectively, used the telehandler to throw the car down the road causing, presumambly , thousands in damage to it. (If he did fully get away with it that is - not entirely sure we've had the full picture yet?)

On the news this evening it was reported that, after asking them to move their car, he got a punch to the face.
Then he went and got his tractor.
 
Went to Bicester village today. It was expensive and rammel. But there were a good few Red Kites knocking about. It was worth a 220 mile round trip just to see them. They are a thing of beauty. Never really seen them as much and read a few members on here have them on there courses. Jammy sods.

They're pretty common around this part of the country. I always love seeing them though and every single time say "look, it's a Red Kite"!

I was waiting for a pupil, fairly close to the middle of town, the other day and there were so many circling around a small housing estate that I couldn't count them
At least 25, possibly nearer 30.
They're like Starlings around here:ROFLMAO:

We have a few nesting on the edge of the course...they regularly glide 10/15 yards away from you as you're walking along..
Had to wait on a tee shot the other day as one was doing aerobatics right in front of us....
