I made a large batch of chutney with windfall apples on Friday and the smell was all pervading throughout the house. With having all the doors and windows open a lot over the weekend, most of the smell has dispersed, but its still quite strong in the kitchen and morning room.

Does anyone have any good tips for getting rid of the smell of vinegar?

It's the one featured on Trawlermen where they had to use subtitles to translate local dialect!

Really, Katek? It's a good job we're not communicating by video link on here then! grin

It's ok....I'm an incomer, I've only been here 35 years!!

I left the area over 40 years ago, Katek. But it's still home. smile

Are you from the Blue Toon then Maggie or the Broch?

Ha ha, neither, Kate', I'm talking about Whitby! I thought it was odd that they had to have subtitles for North Yorkshire - the accent's not that broad! grin

Aah! Crossed wires! I really should waken up properly before I read posts! We do have a connection, however, via Dracula. Whitby says Bram Stoker found his inspiration for Dracula there, whilst out village says he found it here! He did stay here for quite some time and was often seen walking along the cliffs. Our cliff top castle - sadly now in ruins - was said to have inspired him along with the myths and legends of the area. One of those is that the souls of those who have died at sea that year come ashore on a particular tide.

Very atmospheric photos, Katek. I hadn't heard of other claims to the Dracula inspiration, so found that interesting. I'm sure I've seen a film that mentioned the story of the souls coming ashore on the tide. What a touching thought. sad

We used to go to Whitby often when we lived in Hull. - happy memories.
Going back to boil in bag kippers, I once spilled some of the fluid on my jeans and the smell lasted after washing. Someone told me to make a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide and soak them in that - it worked!

This might be of interest Maggie. Lots of links online as well.
