Plymouth born, Cheshire based. A dab hand in the kitchen, occasionally witty, and a very slow runner. In my 40s now so it's all downhill from here, unless I'm in the Peaks
Ran my first 10k race in 11 years today. Here’s my pup sporting the medal like he actually did something and didn’t just lay around all day

A few weeks ago I posted that I was struggling to crack sourdough. It's taken a lot of practice (and it's far from perfect) but I've become addicted to baking for the family a few times a week #breadsky

Second attempt at sourdough. Certainly an improvement on the sloppy mess from last time... Used the Tartine book instead of whatever book I used last time.
Thanks to those who offered advice #breadsky

First #Parkrun in years, and it had to be a hot day. Didn't help that I only just got rid of COVID yesterday 🤦🏻♂️. All in all, a tough run but I'm glad to have finished it

I'm no Alanis Morisette, but I'm sure there's some irony in a puppy running off with a training book called 'perfectly imperfect puppy'

I think the cat is contemplating killing me because I moved her slightly (which is totally fair)
