Birds have taken charge of Evensong outside my bedroom window tonight. It’s still not dark, but I’ve been lying here a while to rest my aching back, and as soon as dusk began to gather so did the birds. It takes me back to being...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne I’m always making something with aubergines. Can’t get enough of them. Tonight’s offering is roasted, glazed celeriac with pork and ricotta meatballs.

Fiacre Banks @Ineeddentures Your anal ysis is spot on. As a nation they can no longer be entrusted with democracy. Of course we’ve elected a few doozies ourselves at times. Thankfully we cannot be blamed for Truss since she was chosen by the Tory party who knew what she...
