Norfolk looking especially charming today even without the sunshine. In the mile between turning off the main road and our cottage last night we saw a barn owl, a hedgehog, a muntjac and several bats!

Soaking Chinese leaf lettuces before Friday's fermentation workshop - this was a small private affair organised by some lovely folk who wanted to know what all the fuss about fermentation was about! We made kimchi and sauerkraut, and they watched while I demmed the kefirs and kombucha, cake to start, kimchi spiced soup and kimcheese toasties to finish. If you'd like a workshop to suit you, do get in touch - for a minimum of 4 people and 2 hours ( can do all day too depending on what you'd like to cover - you choose!). I meant to take photos of us all having a marvellous time but we were too busy having a marvellous time ( at least I was 🤣) .

Whilst I was in London with my mama, my husband appears to have taken up a new hobby. Felting was his craft of choice. He has made a tiny jumper. The only issue is that it used to be his £100 special birding jumper that he PUT ON A HOT WASH WITH ALL FHE OTHER DARK THINGS 😱😱😱! I don't think it will be doing much birding now 😆.

Giving Babs ( aka mum) my Poinsettia to look after in December was obviously a very good idea. It's June tomorrow for heaven's sake 🤣. I've never made one last more than a couple of weeks - in fact I always gulp when someone gives me one because - the pressure! Maybe she's been giving it kefir as well as herself - What's your poinsettia record?

Literally 1.5 squares-worth of edging to go how annoying is that?? So my snuggly Elements tencel/wool blanket will have to stay like this till I get home. And Still there's plenty of work to do with a squillion ends to tie in...

Kefir "lunch" en plein air; with the most delicious Scottish strawberries. Still just about managing my on-the-road kefir maintenance though I have had a little hiatus as I seem to have mislaid my sieve!

Today I saw my first ever OTTER! ( yes yes I know there's no such thing as a water badger I was just a bit doubtful at first having not expected to just see one!) 🤣. Though I shall defend myself by pointing out that badgers and otters are both members of the family Mustelidae so quite close relatives really!

I'm off on trip! I'm accompanying my dear friend Ginny on a stint of the south west coast path - she's done 310 miles so far and completing it has long been an ambition of hers ( pre the infamous salt path!). I love this woman. Although she's living with fronto temporal dementia which is a completely shocking thing to happen to a person , nothing stops her - she is ridiculously fit and active and puts me to shame. FTD is a type of early onset dementia usually beginning before the age of 60 that in the first instance affects a person's ability to communicate. As she walks she is raising money for the national brain appeal - FTD accounts for little more than 10% of dementia cases, which means that in terms of research it's way behind the curve in comparison to Alzheimer's, and the mechanisms for the disease are still being elucidated - one thing is clear - it's complicated! The money she raises will be split between rare dementia support and to find specific FTD related projects. There's a link in my stories if you'd like to support her! And yes I did bring my kefir

Kefir lunch today. How I shall miss you this week when I am walking a section of the SW coast path - I think it's beyond even my capabilities to keep it going with trains both ways, transported luggage, taxis and a different bed every night 🙁! Or am I just being a wimp?

A tale of two spoons. I was admiring these beautiful serving spoons today which prompted my mum to tell me the story of their origin. In 1960, she was working as a staff nurse in the outpatient skin department at the London Hospital. One of the "regulars" was an old lady in her 70s, Alice Huard, who came in every week to have her leg ulcers seen to. Alice was a dear old duck, whose hosptial visits were a source of much needed company and friendship, as well as a medical necessity; really the only time she left the house, so incapacitated was she. When Alice learned that my mum and dad were getting married, she gave them the spoons as a wedding present: they had been part of her bottom drawer, but her fiancé died had in the battle of Mons in 1914. 700,000 ( yes, 700,000) British soldiers died in WW1, leaving a severe demographic crisis and a whole generation of "surplus women" or spinsters just like Alice - my great aunt Doris also lost her fiancé in this way and was single all her life. I just wanted to write this down so that Alice and her spoons are remembered! Interestingly because the internet is both awful but amazing, I could with a mere photo establish that the spoons are electroplate, and made by Atkin Brothers (harry, Edward and frank) of Sheffield!
