Free Cycling Jacket<\/h2>\n

A few weeks ago I subscribed to Mountain Bike Rider<\/a> magazine.\u00a0 I could pretend that it was for the pull-out route maps; the skills advice; the workshop articles… but to be honest, there are two reasons for me subscribing:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 10% off the cover price.<\/li>\n
  2. A FREE Altura Nevis cycling jacket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Smug Man in Free Altura Nevis Jacket.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The jacket’s last year’s model I believe, but it’s a cracking windstopper, and waterproof too.\u00a0 The reflective bits on the front (as you can see here<\/em>) and on the bumflap will be helpful and this used to retail at more than \u00a350.\u00a0 It cost me less than hat to subscribe to a magazine I was going to buy anyway, so I’m a winner!<\/strong> Hurrah for me.<\/p>\n

    While I’m on a cheapo tip, look at these babies:<\/p>\n

    \"Tommies!\"<\/a>

    Virtually Free Cherry Tomatoes-In-Waiting<\/p><\/div>\n

    Regular readers will know about my \u00a37-greenhouse-\u00a325-base<\/a><\/em><\/strong> exploits.\u00a0 Well, this propagator is full of seeds we dried out from actual<\/strong> cherry tomatoes, stolen from a salad.\u00a0 They’re growing, actually growing and everything<\/strong>, which is cool.<\/p>\n

    They should be ready for transplanting outside before too long, then later in the summer we can have lots and lots of cherry tomatoes.\u00a0 Salads; sauces; pizza; barbecues; soups… I’m going to be heartily sick of cherry toms by autumn but it’s pretty cool for the kids to witness.<\/p>\n

    Next year I think I should try to grow amusing-shaped vegetables. Any ideas what’s good\u00a0to grow?<\/p>\n
