The President of the US actually wrote this. This is full blown Mccarthyism.

BBC coverage is appalling.
No mention of illegality of Trump’s plan

No mention of why Hamas have delayed the release.

The last sentence is so misleading. As though Hamas have not released any hostages.

Is there a word for the grief one feels after finishing a cherished book?

I feel bereft having finished this wonderful book by Valerie Perrin. Highly recommend.

Reading this wonderful book and came across a quote I think worth sharing:

“You must learn to be generous with your absence to those who haven't understood the importance of your presence.”

For any food book collectors out there. I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s full of delightful recipes with historical and cultural richness from the always wonderful Claudia Roden. Tonight I’m making a xmas Eve fish dish from Madrid for an Italian xmas Eve meal. What do you make on Xmas eve?
