Yesssss! The swifts are back. Not seen them yet but just heard that familiar scream whizzing past the house as I'm sat working.

Just starting to read the wonderful @katebradbury.bsky.social book www.bloomsbury.com/uk/one-garde... I've been saving it up as an Easter reading treat. The writing is beautiful, the message so urgent, I'm sure there will be tears soon.

Our 3rd year of making this amazing @nigella.bsky.social cake, it's become a new tradition. We have it instead of Xmas pud as it tastes very similar. Super easy to make too!
If you haven’t made a fruitcake yet, don’t panic! This Chocolate Fruitcake doesn’t need to mature, and is relaxingly easy to make.

Here’s a pastel painting I created a few years ago called ‘Winter Woodcock’. I love watching Woodcock emerging to feed at dusk in the winter. They are one of my favourite birds in the world. ❄️
