Wales

 One of the satisfying things in cooking is to make something with simple ingredients, then cook them and eat them all quite quickly.

Welsh cakes are very good to make - and eat. It is nice to vary the recipe too. Using different dried fruit and/or spices means that they are always a treat.

Washing blues

 I enjoy washing clothes and particularly like the challenge of removing stains of any sort. I have tried various liquids/powders temperatures and types of programmes.

Most stains will come out especially if they are still wet. 

But the worst stain of all is mould. Because it is a living stain it is very hard to get rid of but it can be done as long as the material is not too delicate.
