Sounds great rat. Charlotte (my 4 year old - aka Miss E) helped me pick sloes and haws the other day although the interest waned after about 10 mins but nonetheless it was there. She is generally more interested in slugs, snails and worms and regularly brings worms in from the garden or back from the lottie as "pets". She enjoys helping dig spuds and pick beans so I can't complain.

Am also a bit of a HFW fan. Can't abide JO and he gets all the publicity. Makes me made when so few acknowledge what Hugh has done for food and of course GYO. Truly inspiring.

ok earthbabe who's JO guess he has passed me by, my Chloe loves to help dig and dig up onions but will insist on running all over the place am hoping to build raised beds this winter so that i don't always feel i'm nagging lol

[dexterdoglancashire]

Guessing JO - Jamie Oliver! I think it's brill when children see people like HFW on TV (I've even got OH watching Cook on the Wild Side as we type!) and then get involved! We need more of this to happen! (says she who has no children of her own!) DDL

I suppose I will fan the flames when I say that I like Jamie Oliver.

[NEWTO THE PLOT]

ohh that JO i should have guessed my oh thinks he's a god when it comes to cooking but i am slowly wheening her onto HFW and RC lol

[dexterdoglancashire]

JO is OK - he's done a lot recently to wake up the nation to healthy eating for kids - but I much prefer HFW! DDL

[NEWTO THE PLOT]

psst don't tell anyone but i've made a few of his recipies in my time

[Earthbabe]

That's ok LJ. I suppose he has done a lot of good if people are thinking more about what they and their children eat but I just find him irritating. But then my mother thinks Keith Floyd is a kind of god and I also have a fondness for Rick Stein.

[dexterdoglancashire]

Ok, then, I like them all with HFW being my fave! second fave - sad, I know to some people (my OH!) I like AWT! DDL

[Earthbabe]

Nothing wrong with AWT. He does after all grow his own.

Oh Lesley - I'm disappointed in you. Nothing cute about JO!

I tried telling somebody at work today that they had a good arguement deflection technique. The whole office went quiet and just got on with their work. It was great!

[Lesley Jay]

Jennie I never said Jamie was cute! I like Jamie as a chef. His programmes started lots of twenty odd year olds to cook and for the way he is trying to get kids eating proper food instead of junk.

Hugh on the other hand is cute and I must say cuddley.

[Shortie]

Hhmmmm, must say I feel the oposite to you LJ on the cute stakes
