The roof of the café at Horsey Windpump in Norfolk is being replaced using local reeds from Horsey. The quality of these reeds, which reflects the health of the waterways in the area, means we can expect the thatch to last for 50 to 80 years. Read more at buff.ly/P9V6PLH

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me: two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Ate them.

A cool, bracing day at Southwold yesterday. As it’s just over a month to Yule starts, it was a perfect opportunity to try a pint of @adnamssouthwold.bsky.social Yuletide at the Nellie. Rich chocolate and coffee, with added spices, it was an excellent accompaniment in a cozy pub.

Now that I’ve committed to The Great Soap Giveaway I thought I should make sure I can still remember how to decorate the things. Happily I can.
If anyone would like one of these for free, please see last night’s drivel.
