Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, 1st Baronet, (9 May 1801 – 12 April 1866) was an English landowner, developer and Member of Parliament who founded the town of Fleetwood, in Lancashire, England.
Before its foundation, Fleetwood was described as a massive rabbit warren on huge snd dunes
This bust was made in Rome by Henry Behnes Burlowe.
Friday's soup for a crowd consisted of anything on special offer. The oranges added sweetness to the carrots. Red lentils and chickpeas for protein and thickness. Broccoli because it's pretty 😁
I thought I'd try one of the YouTube air fryer recipes. This is for French apple cake. I forgot to include the milk in this shot.
2 eggs
50 g sugar
100 g plain flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp baking powder
50 ml milk
1 red apple, peeled and chopped
beat eggs and sugar till airy
add vanilla
combine flour, apple, milk, baking powder without knocking out the air
pour into a greased silicon dish
bake in air fryer for 30 mins at 160 deg C
turn out onto a rack to cool
decorate with icing sugar
I'm charmed by this threshold. The drain cover appears to be a later addition, or else why not tile it with the same mosaic? The St George's Cross is an interesting detail. I find the whole thing to be an allegory.

Today I made a wholemeal bread that for once didn't go mad and produced an acceptable loaf. I used 40% English wholemeal flour and 60% Canadian strong white flour.
Here it is again. No, not this drink but the lead up to the coughs and colds season. It's time to give the immune system a wakeup call.
Whole fruits
2 oranges
1 lemon, half if you must
4 dates
A thumb sized lump of ginger
Whizz
Add some water and shake
Add honey if your face turns inside out 😅
Having de stalked and simmered for 30 minutes to neutralize the natural cyanide in the berries, i added lemon and sugar to make this luscious syrup. It has health benefits but probably not when mixed with vodka!
Cream tea. This is a Cornish way of doing it; jam then cream. In Devon it's the other way around.
Given that this cream is from Cornwall and I have Cornish heritage, it's jam then cream.
In America and Canada it's hard to get clotted cream apparently. You can make your own in a slow cooker. Just dump a pint of pasteurized heavy cream into the pot for about 8 hours on warm. Remove the crock gently ... there are now two layers of cream and rough handling could recombine them. Then cool in the fridge for about 6 hours to thicken. then scoop off the clotted cream on top and store for up to 5 days in the fridge. The runny cream at the bottom can be used how you wish. On cornflakes is always fun 😁
The southern end of Morecambe Bay: Knott End-on-Sea. Look dead center on the horizon and you can make out the two power stations at Heysham.
There's not much here now, but up to the 1950s it was a popular holiday destination. Tastes change, and people seem to demand 'attractions' and warmer weather.
The butcher in the village has some awesome meat, much of it local. The cheesemonger was well-stocked. The hardware shop was full of all sorts of interesting things, and some were even useful. The breeze was sharp, even in July, so I found a charity shop and bought a nice sweater - and a load of photo printing paper, some bail jars and a barometer for my friend; an unexpected haul! Proceeds go to the local hospice, which is good. A pot of tea and a sandwich in Ralph's Cafe was just the restorative I needed. Too soon for fish and chips, tho' the chippy looked excellent. Tourism is not quite dead. What else is there to see, I wonder?
A pilgrimage from Lancaster Castle to the memorial stone of the 15 Lancaster martyrs ended with Holy Mass.
From 1534 to 1791 it is was illegal to celebrate the Catholic Mass, be a priest, or follow Catholic faith in England. Punishments were brutal.
This is a portable altar stone, chalice and patten that would have been used in secret during this time of prohibition and persecution, being easy to hide or carry from place to place.
Given a cans of cooked garden peas - i didn't know that was a thing - and asked to make lunch, what to do? Blitz the peas with some chili flakes and oil and dust with cayenne pepper. Serve with tortilla chips. Just right for a light and nutritious lunch.
In an effort to solve my networking problems, I turned off Bluetooth and WiFi. Wired mouse, wired keyboard, and Ethernet cable to the router.
Did it make a difference? Not really. The problem wasn't at my end of the connexion!
You guessed it: I've been back to the dentist.
But at least there is some sunlight today, and the air is clear enough to see across the bay to Black Combe.
Fun facts: people have lived and worked the slopes of Black Combe for over 10,000 years, without interruption. There are even fossilized footprints in the beach, and remains of shellfish high up on the combe itself.
With just a handful of strawberries left, what to do? Slice them up, and whip up some Chantilly cream. Pike into a small bowl and decorated with some torn mint leaves.
Ready in moments but I'll remember this for quite a while.
Stock added, and brought to boil for a couple of minutes. 1/3 reserved and the rest blitzed in situ; reserve returned. Spinach leaves added. Allowed to simmer for a few more minutes.

I'm grateful to have been able to cook lunch today without having been bombed or shot at. And having water and electricity on supply.
My first dinner like this for myself cooked by me. I'm especially pleased with the veg and gravy which were nice and herby.

Lunch at the market consisted of a sausage barm (local name for a bread roll) and cup of tea.
Locally produced sausages. Delicious simplicity.
Today the world celebrates World Typing Day, where we reflect on the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of typed communication.
This is my double-shot pudding keyboard in QWERTY layout, as invented by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1874 for his new-fangled Type-Writer. I have tried other layouts, including Dvorak, but always come back to this - it's hard to overcome muscle memory.
You might use QWERTZ, AZERTY, ŪGJRMV, ЙЦУКЕН, or another kind for your own language. But they all kicked off from QWERTY's original design and purpose (increase speed and acccuracy, and reduce the chance for typewriter mechanism to become jammed).

An interesting book launch, perhaps. Being held at the Quakers' place, I don't expect there will be any fizz to make the evening go with a swing.
