I didn't read far enough. So out of the other side? I was given that remedy for sneezing. Doesn't work for Roger who sneezes dozens at a time. All he does is get water up his nose and nearly choke to death. :o If he does a sneeze while driving I make him pull into the roadside as it will be a long time before he's in control again.

Lesley, I think the trick is to have a deep breath ( as much as you can with hiccups) start sipping the water very slowly without breathing in or out.
Keep sipping without breathing for as long as you can.
I can't recall it never working for me.

Looking forward to the DF seed, thanks muchly again  ;D

If you can find a cure for sneezing attacks I would love to hear it.
I can keep sneezing over and over, my hub sneezes once and that is it.

Well maybe it is a very old English thing then, if it made it to all the colonies...
I am not obsessive when it comes to plant shopping, I just want two of everything....

Davey I'll definitely be interested in some spare plants, our annual Chilli Festival is our most popular event now, although I really don't like hot food  :P they are very interesting plants, my sale plants arrive in may from a grower but I still enjoy trying new & different varieties.

links to our event below  ;)

What sort of curry?
My first introduction to curries were Maylasian style. Haven't had one of those for decades, usually have Indian curries these days.

all sorts cook at the festival, Indian, Caribbean, Thai etc etc, most of the cooking isn't that hot, I prefer Malaysian because they tend to be creamy & mild but I'll try anything as long as it isn't stupidly hot (can't see the point)

favorites from the stalls are Goat Curry with plantains, which is amazing! Chicken Harrissa & Chick Pea Channa Masala.

My favourite curry is lamb madras.
Here is a pic of my pride and joy, grown from a seed sent to me by my daughter last year.
I had tried for years to either get a plant or seeds since I have been in Canada, to no avail.
It looks a little sad at the moment, am sure it needs a feed of something but not sure what.
