Eton Mess came about after someone at Eton College dropped a pavlova and gathered it all up again. Allegedly.
I didn't drop this (honestly) but my scrambled egg was a disaster.
I didn't go to Eton, btw 😅
The big companies have reduced the numbers of independent brewers considerably. It does the industry no good at all but increases big corporations' profits.

The Gregson is a community owned and led arts and cultural center in Lancaster. It is a gem.
Everything from slavonic folk singing to French cinema to poetry groups and anything you can think of. it's awesome. and the garden in the yard is a joy.
I found all these locally in my favorite shops. Get some baubles, a length of tinsel, a glass pot the size of a large flower pot, a string of 50 leds, and this is what you get. Twinkly in the corner.
