Superb! Easy to make & beautifully soft inside with a sweet crisp top. Split & filled with delicious Baron Bigod cheese. Also had some filled with cherry jam. I'll make these again.

Explored the East Midlands Airport trail with John. Some lovely art work and lots of interesting information about the local area & history of the airport. It was much more rural than we expected.

This week's (from 2018) @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social recipe www.theguardian.com/food/2018/oc...
Chickpea and salt cod soup
Substituted the chickpeas with white beans and used hake as I could not find any salt cod. A really tasty and filling lunch - even though it's not Friday!

Had a lovely walk on the Stainforth & Keadby Canal with John from Thorne to Crowle. More wide views across the flat rural landscape. A few dog walkers & cyclists, an interesting lift bridge & tractors moving sugarbeet from field to farm.

Fab walk on the Selby Canal with John from Haddlesey flood lock on the River Aire to Selby lock on the River Ouse. From rural views to industrial heritage with beautiful autumn colours & the occasional glider overhead. Had time to explore the town too.

Thoroughly enjoyed our rescheduled visit to Selby parkrun with John. A flat out & back along the edge of the airfield. It felt appropriate to swap my usual finish song for Al Stewart's Flying Sorcery. Many thanks to all today's volunteers. Plus we got to collect Bi11 boomerang too!

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Leftover polenta biscuits
www.theguardian.com/food/2025/oc...
Easy to make - even if I did have to cook some polenta for the occasion! Mine were definitely more bread pudding than flapjack in consistency and turned out not quite sweet enough for us.

Explored the remaining section of the #OakhamCanal with John. Started in the town centre then out to the countryside where the canal is still visible. Loads of really interesting information about the history of the town, canal and people via the audio walk.
