Because if so, all you need do is lick it! A mouth-dampened q-tip works, too. Your saliva will take out your blood. (Something about the enzymes.) I know this sounds disgusting, but it works, especially if the blood is fresh. (I’ve seen it work on old blood, too.) Even if it’s someone else’s emission (ahem), try it.

This is an old folk remedy, but I’ve used it many times on quilts and fabric with success.

We can all break our patterns and enjoy nature more. I’ve been a way from blogs and blogging for awhile because my husband has been sick. Looking forward to keeping up with your new adventure.

It works well on lots of stains. Use a cotton bud to apply it, and once the stain has gone sponge it with a damp cloth. So that it doesn’t bleach the cloth from cream to white.
I really enjoy your blog, good luck with the new living arrangements I may do something similar down her in NZ. :-)

Sounds wonderful and I can’t wait to hear all about it. As for blood, hydrogen peroxide works wonders. Just keep putting it on every few hours until the stain is gone. My dad is on dialysis, and invariably blood gets on his clothes when the needles come out – my mother swears by hydrogen peroxide to get the stains out.

Great idea to get out of the city every weekend. Chilly time of year for camping though. I camped in the UK last weekend, but I have a woodburner in my tent. Wouldn’t fancy it otherwise ! Good luck with your adventures.

You do come alive in the countryside, cities are sterile in my opinion and I could never live there. I like a blend of countryside and town so that you get the best of both worlds
