Highly recommend seeing The Reckoning by @dasharts.bsky.social @arcolatheatre.bsky.social - a deeply affecting play about everyday Ukrainians in extraordinary circumstances. Based on stories collected by three female journalists. Plus you get to sample this exquisite summer salad + the recipe.

A very successful visit to the Garden Museum in Lambeth today. Beautiful cafe (highly recommend booking, and the outdoor dining is perfect when the weather is nice), excellent food and wine selection, plus a smorgasbord of goodies in the gift shop, impossible to resist… Highly recommend.
