Websites That We At Victoriana Like!

Not a huge list of websites, just a few that we at Victoriana like, and find useful to use...

Crocks & Pots
Our sister company supplying commercial cookware to the home chef. This really is last a lifetime stuff - fantastic quality.

GoldHosts
Website design and hosting from a firm small enough to care but large enough to cope - sometimes only just in time, but always just in time!!

Home Farmer Magazine
Aimed at the growing number of people who are looking for a better quality of life: healthier food produced without chemicals whose journey from plot to plate is measured in feet, not miles. Not just about fruit and vegetables, it is dedicated to helping you realise your lifestyle dreams with articles on diverse subjects such as making your own sausages, baking, urban poultry keeping, beekeeping, caring for animals on a small acreage, dealing with neighbours and much, much more. Home Farmer is more kitchen table than coffee table and each issue targets what you need to know to get the job done with simple step-by-step instructions, features and honest accounts of people trying to live their dreams either in the country or town.

Kat Whelan Illustrations
We found Kat via her lovely gardening blog, Shoestring Garden, then discovered that 'in the real world' she was a very talented illustrator. One thing lead to the next and after re-designing the log for our sister company (Crocks & Pots) she's been busy helping us with some lovely Scarecrows for our Scarecrow Club and working on one or two other projects for us. If you need a cheerful illustration try Kat!

Pesticides Action Network
If you are in any doubt why you should be growing your own produce and avoiding pesticides you should look at this website! This is not scare mongering or knee jerk stuff, just a website (and organisation) giving well researched and well balanced information.

Plants For A Future
A truly amazing resource site with a huge database of 7300 'edible medicinal and useful plants'. Just twenty plants provide the majority of food eaten, yet there are thousands of other useful plants which have not reached mainstream attention. You can find details of many of them here.

The Royal Horticultural Society
The UK’s leading gardening charity; a fantastic website packed full of information (and of course we're listed in their 'plantfinder').

The Followers Of Rupert
Jeremy Shirley first discovered Rupert Bear in the 1940’s as a young boy; to this day he still is a huge fan and now shares the magic with Milly who loves to read his old Rupert books with him. As himself a member of the ‘Followers Of Rupert’, Jeremy recommends anyone who is interested in Rupert, Rupert Annuals or Rupert stories joins. Details of the benefits of membership are four newsletters per year and other free gifts including a Rupert Calendar every year. Full information can be found on their website along with a downloadable membership form.

Whytes Home Wine Equipment
Everything you need for making your own homemade wines and homebrew beers - using either raw ingredients (fruits from your own plants) or, for the less adventurous, concentrates. A family business, like ourselves, with over forty years experience.
