Website update

General: a little lean on updates this month - it is holiday season after all!

Books: new Poem of the Month, plus some rather useful new links if you're in search of best prices or hard-to-find titles.

Drink: new Drink of the Month (Jim Beam bourbon whiskey, with 2 new recipes plus one existing).

Food: high time to give sprouting a profile raise with the Recipe of the Month.

Fractals: new Fractal of the Month.

Garden: new Garden Tip and a further chapter in the major new project, 'A Year at Padley Wood' - this month, it's Early Summer.

Links: this month, Spotlight on... (usually a site new to me, but could be an old favourite):

An excellent drinks mixing site with over 8000 cocktail recipes and many more in other categories, including shots. What sets this site apart from competitors are some nice features such as 'Top 20 most popular' and 'Top 10 highest rated' drinks on the 'Welcome'page, as well as sets of links to similar/related drinks that change with each recipe browsed. And of course it includes the ability to build your own 'cabinet' (so you can easily find which drinks you can mix with what you've got at home), plus a 'handbook' section for storing favourite recipes.

So just to ensure you never have to leave home, order your drinks from:
