Cattle fair day. No cows due to Lumpy Skin Disease restrictions. Hens, goats, mastifs, sheep, donkeys and horses. Big get together day for people from nearby villages 🌿🌱🐶🐐🐏🫏🐎🐕‍🦺🐓

I bought this handmade pot from a potter in a tiny Cretan village this summer. He was clearly skeptical I could actually manage to cook in it - I must have looked too foreign and urbanite. I will show this to him next year 😎 🍽️🍜 Love and patience required! (4 hours on the stove at min temp)

Meet our local pepper variety. Big, thick skinned and meaty. As the skin is inedible, it’s cooked by inserting thin garlic slices with salt through a small slit and fry them in abundant oil. To eat, the skin is separated and you only eat the inside. We call it “vegetable caviar” for a reason 😎🍽️🍜

Classic northern Spain summer day today, cloudy, mild and humid. One of the very few this year. These past weeks feel like a traumatic awakening of the times to come. The constant heat, the lack of rain, the extraordinarily warm sea water, the wildfires, the race for aircon, the hosepipe bans…..

Well today’s been a “balmy” 31C. After the eerie silence of the past 3 days, with no birds to be heard, today’s chirping feels like a resurrection of sorts. I’ve managed to do a first damage assessment and clearing. A few dead plants. Not good. But not catastrophic. Looking forward to normal :( 🌱🌿🍃

Monster heatwave, day one. 39.6C. Fresh water points scattered around the garden for birds and insects. It’s either beach or aircon. Beach 📍Laredo, Cantabria, Northern Spain 🗺️

After spending well over 10 summers in Crete, it was time to try and learn the language. I enrolled an online course with Athens University. Today I had my first test - 90.48/100!! I can’t believe I have been able to give a go at a language with completely different letters! Sample question 👇🏼

Everyday Olive Oil Cake by @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social is my kind of bake: quick, unfussy, and very hard to stop eating. Soft, plush crumb, bright orange flavour, and golden top. A simple bake with plenty of personality, that disappears one slice at a time. #OliveOilCake #food 🍜🍽️ #foodsky

Espalier apple tree, two years on. Some minor re-guidance needed I think. And no apples this year :( With this variety I was told to expect apples only once every 2 years oh well. Project 2027 it is. Still. Healthy, happy and growing! 🌿🌱😄🪴
