• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Stay safe, chaps

    My neighbour and his workmate have just had a dose of covid - it's a German variety, apparently. I got in 2022, I had a mild cold for four days. I passed it to my 20 y. o. lad and in four days it killed him.

    Stay safe, chaps

    I was working and felt really unwell, so I knocked off and went to a drop in clinic (sadly now closed) where I saw a doctor I knew slightly. He saw me doubled over the desk and got me in quickly. I said I was at work and didn't feel very well. You shouldn't have been walking let alone working...

    Tourist rip-off

    I remember years ago buying genuine Turkish delight labelled Made By Hadji Bey's Turkish Emporium, Dublin. Rodda's Cornish Clotted Cream is made a couple of miles from me - I remember being served it by Air New Zealand flying out of Auckland.

    shed heater

    I've had a couple of stove top fans, I found them as much use a chocolate kettle. I use an electric fan, they take next to no power.

    Fish Dishes?

    https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780060166458/Cooks-Room-Celebration-Heart-Home-0060166452/plp Is interesting if you like cooking in general - how kitchens evolved and varied in different Countries according to the local cooking methods. I've yet to come across an Alan Davidson book that's not good.

    Fish Dishes?

    According to André Simon's A Concise Encyclopedia of Gastronomy (1983) the difference between a bouillabaisse and a bourride is that the bourride has no saffron but has garlic or aïoli. (I seem to remember being told that on a course.) My 1961 Larousse does have saffron in the bourride...

    Fish Dishes?

    Jane Grigson, I assume? Sophie doesn't. Strangely, in Stein's Fish & Shellfish they don't seem to get a mention under any name, or at least any name I've yet heard. I used to go out on the small inshore fishing boats 30 years ago - congers and dogfish (murkies, from the Cornish mor and ky, sea...
