Oooh 5.55am race starts would be perfect for me!

I’ve got snacks from every continent, just the one empanada though, can’t have South America over-represented

Sending strength to you and your family. I’m glad you made it to lit fest. I thought of you when I saw there was a park run related one. My events start on Sunday, I love lit fest.

It’s a seedy, sometimes juicy existence

So readable and funny. I really enjoy them. I think it’s worth giving one a try.

Absolutely, it’s unimaginable

Ok, I’ll send you some varied home made easy slop upgrade stuff. Let me get some ideas together. Do you eat meat?

The uncertainty is a real worry

What do you like to eat? I can cook well but often don’t have the motivation. I’m sure I can give you some easy, tasty ideas.

I don’t know how we get past this if our summers are going to be shorter and hotter like this year.

The allotment kept me going through grief and lockdowns(a cracking combo), and I am proud. Even though there’s more bindweed still than I’d really like. This week I finally made a “profit” in terms of value of produce against what it cost to grow.

Yeah I do give away a lot, the foodbank collects from our allotment site in summer as well. Luckily cauli is very versatile so you could have a lot of variety when you have cauli every day! I've never managed to grow one bigger than tennis ball size so it's not been a problem I've had.

Oh don’t get me started on those! I just can’t cull plants, so I have many cucumbers to come. There’s that trend of sliced cucumber salads with different flavourings that use a whole one. Good luck with the pickling!
