Not really a surprise, is it? #BrexitMadness

This morning's visitors. This is why we have raised beds and veg in pots.

Does anybody actually believe a single word coming out of the Trump administration right now? I don't. I remember the crowing from the Bush bunch during the Iraq war. And how that turned out too.

Tonight, Bucatini alla Nerano with garden courgettes and a Lancashire sheep cheese.

Morning visit from the Partridge Family

Found skin in my tin of Mutti peeled tomatoes. The world is coming to an end.

Tonight rigatoni made with this in a red wine and tomato sauce. Bits of it of course unrolled . Probably six or seven meals here.

#FrescoFriday finds us in the pre-#Roman section of the #ArchaeologicalMuseum of #Naples, looking at the wsll of a painted tomb from #Nola. #Samnite tomb decoration relied heavily on outlines filled with colour, producing a distinct and slightly cartoonish effect.

Tonight's garden feast... Rainbow stir fry. Pak choy, purple snap peas, mangetout, beetroot stems, carrots and two types of courgette. All home grown except for the onion. These raised beds really work.

Daren't think how much environmental damage this does. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

The new gardener is doing a good job weeding the patio.

Mixed this with garden 5 courgette and baby carrots to make veg pakora. This is going to be a regular.

Thrilled to be included in the @financialtimes.com best summer books of 2025! 🏖️📚⚽ www.ft.com/content/29f2...

The courgette season begins with this beauty.

It amazes me I'm sitting here thinking I'll never go to America, a place I've visited and mostly loved for the last 50 years, again.

The new raised beds are coming into play. Next up... The courgette tsunami.

Father's day prezzie! A new one on me...
