72 😅 and my top genre (even though it couldn’t be defined) is Grunge - I blame an afternoon when I had the house to myself listening to Chris Cornell.

Which is why I make something light, fresh, clean and lemony to follow such a large meal. On another day in the depths of winter a Christmas pudding should always be accompanied by a St Clement’s Sauce. There I’ve said it. 🍋🍊

We get those along with goldfinches and the odd very pretty coal tit. Chaffinches seem to have disappeared so far this year as have the Greenfinches, fingers crossed we see them back.

We never see bullfinches.

I spotted a pair of black caps in ours a couple of days ago. Bigger than a great tit but smaller than a blackbird. They were in the garden for a while.

Dismal

Solidarity from us.

Personally I would put the rest in the fridge and save to make an iced coffee for later.

He’s not very bright I don’t think.

He does love those treats doesn’t he 🙂

We are looking forward to it.

We planted a quince tree 2 years ago and had our first harvest this autumn. I made several jars of delicious quince jelly and next year going to try making a quince brandy 🥃 Should be simple enough.

Coincidentally I’m going to see Stuart Lee this evening in Doncaster.

Reform MP (Pru Leith’s son) Danny Kruger on Radio 4 Today programme this morning mentioned more than once there was data proving that Black and Asian people are over represented in British advertising. I want to know why Nick Robinson didn’t challenge that remark. What data? Who’s data?

That’s a real shame.

This is so interesting. Thank you.

Interested about why hedgehogs are considered a threat to indigenous species in NZ. Here in the UK hedgehogs are in severe decline nationally due to loss of habitat and getting flattened on our roads.
