This aviary is basically sound, but could do with some TLC.
Offers please.
It previously housed a canary though I haven't used it. My requirements changed when one of my little darlings fled their cage and never returned, so I don't need 3 aviaries any more.
Offers please.

A family run business, Leon Bouley founded a mustard mill and oil production facility in Burgundy that became well known for the it’s excellent mustard.
The grandson of Edmond Fallot now runs the state of the art facility to produce those same mustards.
Mustard production in France itself dates back to 1292 when the first records can be found that describe a mustard maker –a ‘moutadier’ .. Up until the 1850’s mustard production had been a labour intensive process like much food production at the time and the mechanisation processes that began to revolutionise the industry resulted in new regulations being created to safe guard quality and taste. These were again updated recently in 2000 .
Fallot is one of the most well known and last true craftsman of mustards in France today.
Dijon has become one of the most well known varieties. Mustard cultivation in Asia dates back much further and it’s use quite different than what we know but in Burgundy the limestone terroir idea for wine was also good for mustard production. Dating back to 1390, production became more established and regulated with the establishment of the City of Dijon Corporation of Vinegar and Mustard Makers in 1634.
So an age old tradition lovingly crafted to careful time honored conditions what we are celebrating in July.

From a nutritional point of view, Black Garlic has a similar content of allicin, the active ingredient in White Garlic that imparts its benefits, but without the odour. Additionally, Black Garlic is rich in amino acids and has almost double the amount of antioxidants when compared to White Garlic. But that is not the whole story.
Black Garlic also contains an additional very specific compound called S-Allycysteine (SAC) in very high concentrations, compared to White Garlic which is water soluble and thus absorbed easily within the body. S-Allylcysteine has been shown to assist with the absorption of allicin. This makes Black Garlic much more effective than White Garlic for all the benefits mentioned above and additionally it is well tolerated by the digestive system so the chance of gastric distress is completely minimised.

My granddaughter has grown out of her current guitar, but needs a left handed instrument. I don't know much about guitars, but if anyone has one of these that is no longer used we would be interested in looking at it. Many thanks.

One day they saw a majestic oak tree towering on top of a hill and decided to stop to look around. They found beautiful and fragrant truffles immediately and for all the days to follow, thanks to the florid hill.
From the flourishing lands of Umbria arise our truffle farms, real "oasis" that allow us to offer our customers only the best fresh product, from which we also get a large part of our prestigious preserved products.
Naturally preserved in their own juice, these luxurious truffles are great sliced or grated over dishes, minced and added to recipes or used as a garnish.
Perfect with pasta, risotto, eggs and appetizers.
