Hunt vs Lauda DVD Review
For racing fans, Hunt Vs Lauda: Grand Prix’s Greatest Racing Rivals is a documentary between two legends. Even for those who are not, it is still fascinating.
The victory duel for the 1976 Formula 1 World Championship has become the stuff of legend. The spectacular battle for supremacy that raged between Austrian Niki Lauda and ‘True Brit’ James Hunt has never been equalled and now this amazing story is told in a fascinating new documentary Hunt Vs Lauda: Grand Prix’s Greatest Racing Rivals.
After almost burning to death in his car at the Nurburgring track, Lauda came back from the dead and fought Hunt all the way to the last race of the season…But this film is no simple tale of driver-versus-driver: both men had their demons, but the forces that threatened them most were bred from the insane circus that surrounded them.
This powerful documentary originally aired on BBC4 and is now out on DVD courtesy of Delta Leisure
Told through unseen footage and exclusive interviews with the team managers, families, journalists and friends who were in the front row it captures the heart of the 1970s and the season that changed Formula 1 forever.
This documentary is inspiring and breathtaking. We even felt emotional a few times. A truly stunning documentary with lots of great stuff we had never seen before. A must-watch.
‘I did not want to start the race at the Nurburgring…I did so out of loyalty towards my firm and my friends. It was not a good compromise for me’ Niki Lauda
‘Niki was the only bloke who could get half his face burnt off and come out better looking’ James Hunt

Ecover All-In-One Dishwasher Tablets Review
We are a huge fan of green cleaning brand Ecover, so when they launched their first ecological phosphate-free All-In-One dishwasher tablets. It keeps rivers clean, your home free of nasties and your dishes gleaming.
The reason it is good not to have phosphate, which is a common ingredient in many dishwasher tablets, is that it can lead to the growth of algae blooms which turn lakes and rivers green and harms aquatic life.
Ecover uses plant and mineral based ingredients to ensure that nasty residues are not left behind in the water system or in crockery. However, they contain enough salt and rinse aid action and are lightly fragranced with a fruity citrus smell. They also received the coveted Good Housekeeping Institute stamp of approval. Impressive.
These work well, making dishes clean and gleaming without any streaks. Good stuff.
Available from Ocado, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s.
Dr Beckmann Cleaning Product Review
Cleaning isn’t glamourous but it does burn calories. So there is a silver lining to every cloud. Cleaning should always be as easy as possible, and for that you need the right products that really work: easily and fast. We tested these products from Dr Beckmann to see if they passed the test.
Dr Beckmann Hardwood & Parquet Floor Cleaner and Dr Beckmann Stone & Tile Floor Cleaner
Each floor cleaner is specifically for that type of floor. Both cleaners contain a clever bio protect formula which provides a stain protection layer, ensuing a long-lasting protection from stains and scuff.
Stone & Tile Floor Cleaner has caring ingredients so it won’t ruin expensive stone flooring. It can be used on sealed and unsealed floors and gives a deep but revitalizing clean.
Wood floors can also be very delicate and moisture can affect wooden floors, causing unsightly cracks and lifting around the edges. Dr. Beckmann’s Hardwood & Parquet Floor Cleaner protects joints and edges and evens out small scratches, helping keep its perfect appearance.
Both cleaners are good. Cleaning and caring well.
Dr. Beckmann’s Active Oven Gel Cleaner clings to the vertical walls and doors to cut through the tough baked on food, grease and grime leaving a sparkling clean finish. It also has no nasty chemical smells.
The oven cleaner is good and relatively pain-free. You just cover the oven with it and then leave it for a certain amount of time, depending on how dirty the oven is. Then you wipe with a cloth and warm water. It works well and there is no hard scrubbing needed.
– Oven Cleaner £3.19
– Hardwood & Parquet Floor Cleaner £4.99
– Stone & Tile Floor Cleaner £4.99
Osmo Hair Products Review
We got sent a parcel full of Osmo hair products. We were quite excited when we opened the envelope. Has it given us amazing hair? Read on and find out…
Osmo Deep Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner
This shampoo is perfect for dry, permed, coloured or heat traumatised hair. It contains Essential Oils of Patchouli and Ylang Ylang. It is a gentle, cleansing shampoo that really nourishes. It replenishes lost moisture without weighing hair down.
It leaves hair silky, healthy and shiny. The smell is a lovely light coconut scent. The conditioner is great as it leaves hair wonderfully detangled. It is thick and creamy but doesn’t weigh hair down. This is a brilliant shampoo and conditioner. It leaves my dry, frizz-prone hair soft and untangled. From feelunique.com

This really is a wonder product and does a ton of different things.

It makes hair healthy and tangle free. You only need a little and you can forgo conditioner too. It can also be used on synthetic hair. A truly brilliant product.
Osmo Day Two Styler Dry Shampoo
I love dry shampoo. Although not all dry shampoo is created equal. I have dark hair and some just makes my roots look grey. Not really the look I am going for. I have tried dry shampoo for brunette hair and I think that is great, however Osmo’s Day Two Styler brushes through without leaving a trace. It removes oil and adds volume. It is one of the best dry shampoos I have ever tried and smells amazing with just a hint of citrus.
Osmo Extreme Volume Root Lifter
This is an outstanding root lift for fine (or other types of) hair. It strengthens and gives great volume that lasts all day. It also:
Moisturizes and conditions the hair and improves the health of the scalp.
Contains natural anti-oxidants
Gives volume to limp tresses
Spray formula won’t cause excess build-up
Long lasting
I have fine hair and I love this product. It really does give a lasting lift. Good stuff.
Osmo products are amazing. Definitely a fan now and will be buying again. From feelunique.com
Campo Viejo Rioja Garnacha Wine Review
We have been reviewing a lot of red wine recently. The standard has been high and is not let down by Campo Viejo Rioja Garnacha. The distinctive yellow label of Campo Viejo has been brightening up people’s homes for 55 years and it’s first Garnacha is featured in a retro 1960s inspired bottle.
This is light-bodied and easy-to-drink. The wine is ruby-red in colour with flashes of purple and aged in French oak barrels for four months. It has a fruity nose of strawberry, raspberry, cherry and blackberry. It also has subtle, sweet spices and floral notes that enhance the wine further. It is soft yet intense and fresh. This is a very special wine with a truly wonderful taste. It has a lasting fresh, fruity finish.
This is made from 100% Garnacha grape and is another delicious wine from Campo Viejo, the UK’s most popular Spanish wine.
Enjoy with: lighter food, pasta dishes.
Available from Ocado, Sainsbury’s and ASDA. RRP £8.69.
Alcohol volume: 14%
Vintage: 2012
The Essential Guide To Keeping Chickens | Easter Ideas
I have always harboured the dream of keeping chickens. One that I doubt will ever be realised as I live in the concrete jungle of London. But I can dream, and watch DVDs like The Essential Guide To Keeping Chickens about how I will look after the chickens that I will (hopefully) have one day.
A lot of great stuff is covered and the DVD is pretty thorough. It covers everything and if you are thinking of keeping chickens this will definitely help you decide. If you already have some, this will cover all of the gaps in your knowledge.
The presenters Jules Hudson and Suzie Baldwin are both brilliant and I really enjoyed this DVD. I learned a lot and the advice is down-to-earth and easy to follow. I don’t think I could clip a chicken’s wing with scissors. This was an entertaining and informative lesson in keeping chickens. An essential for keeping chickens. Good stuff.
Covered in the DVD:
Why keep chickens?
Choosing your chickens
Hen houses and food
Handling chickens
The chicken medicine chest
Mating and murder most fowl!
This DVD from Stitchcombe Productions is perfect for Easter. If you would like a few extra eggs this Easter and can spare a corner of your garden, then why not buy the NEW DVD Keeping Chickens? The DVD is part of The Ideal Life Collection and it tells you everything you need to know – from a list of essential kit to expert tips to ensure that your hens are healthy and happy! Keeping chickens is easier than you think and also extremely rewarding. You could soon enjoy warm, freshly laid eggs every day and, next year, your very own Easter chicks.
Keeping Chickens – Suzie Baldwin has been keeping chickens ever since she was a child and has a real knack of demonstrating exactly how to handle and care for her ‘girls’. Prompted by questions from TV presenter, Jules Hudson, Suzie shows us how rewarding it is to find a clutch of freshly-laid eggs every day.
Whether you already have hens but could do with some extra tips or you’re a total novice, Keeping Chickens will prove invaluable. From practical ‘chicken check lists’ to a demonstration of how to clip a chicken’s wings with a pair of scissors in seconds.
Suzie Baldwin supplies eggs to rock stars and royalty and sells a wide variety of different breeds, hen houses and accessories from an idyllic farm in Hampshire.
Jules Hudson (Escape to the Country) has just started keeping chickens and has a genuine passion and enthusiasm to learn more all about his feathered friends.
