How to make your home safer

Nobody wants to live in an unsafe home – a home where, rather than being comfortable and secure, you’re at risk of injury. Plus, if you’re not the only one living in your home, whether the other residents are family, friends, or pets, you won’t want them to get hurt either.
To avoid issues, you need to take steps to ensure your home is as safe as it can be. If your home is safe, you’ll not only be reducing risk; you’ll also enjoy being there a lot more and you’ll be more relaxed, which in turn can make life happier.
Here are three simple things you can do to get started on making your home safer.
Something that can make a house unsafe, or at least less safe, is maintenance issues that go unresolved.
It might not seem like too much of a problem to ignore a dripping tap, for example, but that dripping tap could be a symptom of a larger leak that would lead to damage and mould, both of which are potentially dangerous. Or what about a loose floorboard or a piece of carpet, some faulty wiring, damaged foundations, or an out-of-date fire extinguisher… the list goes on.
By fixing these things as soon as you notice them, and by carrying out regular (perhaps monthly) maintenance checks around the home, you can ensure the place is as safe as possible for anyone who lives there or visits.
One of the most frightening things that can happen in a home is for a fire to break out. Fires can get out of control very quickly, and the damage they cause can be catastrophic. And of course, a house fire can cause nasty injuries – or worse. That’s why having good fire safety measures in your home is vital.
Some examples of home fire safety measures include fire doors with the right fire door handles, in-date fire extinguishers,

How to get the best out of your potatoes
They say that you can tell a surprising amount about a gardener by the kind of potatoes they grow. Some of us, for example, are traditionalists who’ll plump for the floury, fluffy ‘British Queen’ (colloquially known as ‘Queens’) every time. Others are passionate foodies who prefer the firm, waxy, flavoursome, yellow flesh of a salad potato such as ‘Charlotte’, or the heirloom ‘La Ratte’. Individualists, meanwhile, often like to seek out unusual kinds, such as the dark magenta-fleshed ‘Vitanoire’, or the knobbly ‘Pink Fir Apple’, the heritage variety famed for its more-ishness.
