if you eat honey made in the local area it contains elements of the local pollen so helps build a natural resistance to the allergens. Works kind of the same way as a virus vaccine. You get a wee bit of it that helps you fight it off.

It really works and doesn't make you drowsy like most allergy meds

Wow. That's really interesting, Debz. Thanks! I'll give it a try.

cool thing about the honey! I never knowed that

I don't tend to suffer from hay fever or any type of allergy (for which I am most grateful ) but if I ever do, or know friends who do, I shall try that out... you should write a book of natural remedies, Debz, or at least collate some important tips in a thread in here

Well, "my" house was sold! A little sad about it, but realize it was not meant to be. We are looking at another one on Thursday night though. A little smaller, but much more updated!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Aw!

You have the right attitude though - like you say, if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be.

A little smaller and updated says cheaper bills and less time spent cleaning to me!

Exactly! And its still a bit larger than our current house. Plus, the grounds at this other house are nicer. Beautiful garden just waiting for my green thumb! I can't wait to see the inside, aside from the pics online, that is!

[StillThePrettiest 3]

oh, it's a shame you didn't get the one you had your eye on, but INVARIABLY in my experience, if you miss out on one house you liked, you end up with something better

and a garden is a gift from heaven :)

Hi all! Wow, I feel like I have been away for approximately, hmmmm, FOREVER but now I am back in the Elm City. I've been feverishly catching up on all the posts but I've still got a ways to go. It was awesome having our VJ dinner last week (was it really only 6 days ago???), and I can report that the VJ UK folk are a fine looking bunch indeed.

And yes, most importantly, I bought my duvet! http://www.johnlewis.com/2350/Product.aspx For some reason they're not showing the weight I bought (2.5 tog, perfect for California) but this is a beaut.

Awww - at least you have more lined up and at least you are able to look together I'm sure you'll find one that is just perfect

OMG yeah it was only six days ago!! I can't believe that this time last week I was absolutely bricking it about my medical and interview - it feels like a lifetime ago already!!!

Duvet looks gorgeous... god only know what we will end up but I will bear in mind John Lewis once we have settled in and have some money

To bee (couldn't let that pun go) fair, there really isn't much of a bee keeping industry here. As the weather gets warmer you might want to go to craft fairs and farmers markets to see if there is a beekeeping hobbyist that is selling their product. Also, some craft stores might sell honey too...there is a local brand of jam called Grandma's and they had a line of honey a long time ago, but I don't know if they still sell the honey.
