I’ve been a fully-fledged British citizen for just over a week now but the truest test to date will be if this scone recipe, adapted to be gluten&dairy free, will pass judgment of British friends this evening. 😬 especially since they’re laced with maple syrup. You can take the Canuck out of Canada…

Our Canada Day dog turned 12 today. A dozen years with this sweet boy 🫶 He spent it mostly napping, and trying to pinch food off the bbq.

A bit of a silver lining amongst all of the current dystopian gloom. It would seem, Britain, that you are stuck with us. Always Canadian 🇨🇦 but now also British (as our ancestors before us).

This evening I will host a monthly gathering of a coven of ladies. I’ve chosen a theme of @nigella.bsky.social. The cake is sorted (pudding first, naturally) but I cannot make my mind up for something savoury and delicious, there are just too many lovely, lovely options.

What’s the collective noun for cavies? A snuggle, a love, and a nonsense are our current favourite proposals. Spaniel convention this afternoon at @beamishmuseum.bsky.social in the chip queue.

I missed #equalpayday because it (ironically) happened sooner than I’d anticipated. Thank you, @fawcettsociety.bsky.social for prepping and sharing these data. www.fawcettsociety.org.uk/pages/news/c...
