Pickled chillies, grown in my Dad's greenhouse. I spent yesterday evening chopping and prepping, then had a sudden wake up this morning when I rubbed sleep from my eye, still had chili on hands even after much cleaning! #chili #chillies

Thanks @sainsburycentre.bsky.social. It was our first visit today and we were really impressed. Thought provoking exhibitions, and excellent children's activities. Apologies for my son using almost all the masking tape to make a 3d model of Pa-sheri from @derbymuseums.bsky.social...
Egyptian style mummy made from scrap paper, wrapped in masking tape bandages, with two eyes showing. On a white plinth.

My son has made a #blackcat appreciation day poster. So, remember to appreciate it, or it may grin at you too...

Really enjoyed visiting Newton's house today at Woolsthorpe Manor. Fascinating stories from the room guides about the house and it's history! Also, apples! Very tasty raw even though they're supposed to be cooking apples #nationaltrust #apples #newton
Two apples from Newton's apple tree in his garden. They didn't fall on our heads though.

Incredible to see Notre Dame today, as part of the #Stone2025 conference programme.

My Dad has grown a potato that looks like it should be a Picasso painting!

Amazing evening yesterday at Audley End @heritagelive.bsky.social My son said it was worth missing a BBQ for 😅 Great sets from Cast, OCS and Roger Daltrey!

I have been painting our hallway, stairs and landing in magnolia with orange feature walls. I've done 3 coats so far and it's finally almost covered over the dark red that was there before!
Wooden stair rail, B&Q Valencia orange wall on the right over the stairs. Magnolia walks on the left.

Took the cats for their annual vet check and vaccination today. They were unimpressed, we had quite a cats chorus going in the car! Still important to get it done #vet #caturday

Trying to work out when the fruit on our Lincolnshire Scad will be ready. Having found the correct answer, it turns out it actually is October and November. Though it's definitely still not a fish. #scad #bullace
Text from Google 'when to eat scad' search says it's a horse mackerel fish and is best in October and November

Last week I had a brilliant time exploring Cornwall. It's impossible to pick a favourite experience (well, maybe Newlyn Meadery for eating out) but wanted to mention Trengwainton Garden @nationaltrust.org.uk whose idea of making kebabs from fallen flowers was inspired, and kept us all entertained.
Colourful red, pink, white large flowers on many kebab style sticks embedded in the grass outside the gardens
