Home-made damson cheese - H is for Home Harbinger I found lots of recipes for jam and jelly - however, it was a Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall recipe for damson cheese that I fancied trying.

SPF is an essential product not a luxury and should be VAT free I've just signed this petition calling on Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill to remove VAT on SPF products. Will you sign too?

#Clonakilty black pudding surely

Finished cross stitch that reads Pardon the Weeds we’re Feeding the Bees, with flowers, leaves and bees around the text.

One for myself for once, and I love it 🐝🪡 😍 Couldn’t wait for it to be on my wall.

Design is from ‘Cross Stitch for the Earth’ by Emma Congdon, though I used colours from my stash 😬

Having moved back from the UK in recent years this has been one of the joys to see #libraries #speirgorm (more public swimming pools next please).

The privilege of being straight is that you never have to look for these symbols. You don’t have to wait for someone to clock you or your partner, and wait to see how they’ll react.
It is easy when you’ve had that privilege to eye-roll about symbolism and how unnecessary it feels…

Wonderful to hear @olionaird.bsky.social on @cerysmatthews.bsky.social this morning. Continued listening to Cerys on Sunday mornings thanks to my VPN. #speirgorm

The blackbird couple who have been busy in the garden in recent weeks are back today with two chicks. Small moments of joy. #family #speirgorm

This seems to have been adopted widely in the SE of England & is commonplace in much of Europe. Would love to see it spreading here. Makes so much sense. (If you provide some cost socks for your guests in winter it really helps). #speirgorm

Don’t be ashamed of loving all the strange little things that bring you joy

CRUNCHY GRANOLA, WOODEN SPOONS AND AN UNLIKELY COCKTAIL SNACK. It’s all about the simple pleasures this week - and why you should always carry a saw in your car.

I like Jill Duplex's recipe. Plus I just noticed she has a savoury granola too. jilldupleix.substack.com/p/crunchy-gr...

Knitted toy squirrel

Knitted by my grandmother when I was a child. A treasured memory but the moths have moved in. Time to let go.

When I was looking into the history of the tiny village where I now live I found some of the best info on who lived here is actually the Ellis Island records of those who left. #speirgorm clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar...
