They might not look much, but you'd be wrong. Pomme Dauphine with cheese cooked in the waffle maker. Stunning texture and flavour.

Amazing Scissor Arches in Wells Cathedral. Providing a very elegant solution to supporting the massive central tower. They look perfect and very modern, but were built in the 14th C.

My boy still had his teeth. He came home with this trophy, which looked alive at this point; my theory is that he suffocated it to death.

How many acres are you cultivating? Hell of a list, I envy you. Have you tried keeping your own tomato seeds? It works well for me. As long as they aren't F1 hybrids, tomatoes tend to grow true.

There are things you wish you'd never seen or done, but you can't turn back time. Today, as the result of an idle boast, I made some jam doughnuts. I am probably now doomed to die as fat as a Texan police.

Outdoor tomatoes are now in full flow, a month earlier than usual. This is the best way to eat them; a simple salad with salt, olive oil and a little splash of vinegar.

I've been introducing a little rye flour into my sourdough loaves. With only 10% rye, there wasn't much difference. I wanted to try a loaf with a more noticeable amount. So I discussed it with DeepSeek and I'm very pleased with the result. #sourdough #baking

My favourite, just for the look of it, is the Turk's Turban. Sadly, I don't have the room to grow them anymore.

Nothing more satisfying than growing tomatoes. Will have to wait another couple of months for my outdoor ones in the UK.

Absolutely brilliant to find so many old Twitter contacts here. I might have to go back and persuade more over. A cat bonus.
