Whitchurch Silk Mill

Whitchurch Silk Mill in Hampshire is a 19th century water mill that weaves English silk fabrics using 19th century machinery. The Mill is the oldest working silk mill in Britain, still weaving in its original building. If you are a fan of BBC productions such as Cranford and Pride and Prejudice you will have seen some of their work being worn in the period costumes.

Watercress and potato soup

Summer seems to have gone, and now we need to keep away all the illnesses that autumn  and winter brings.

We make soup in our home, lots and lots of soup. It's so easy and most soups are a quick meal in themselves, accompanied with a massive chunk of healthy artisan bread.
