The banana 'galette' is served; this time with Greek yogurt. pistachios and some dried fruit. It could also go with something savoury, or as a side for stew, etc. The choice is yours. I guarantee all's well that ends well!
This is the last of today's Shakespeare-themed pictures which celebrate the birthday of William Shakespeare.
After a while spent looking at plants I needed to sit for a bit. This little group of garden fountains burbled and babbled. creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Slice the haloumi and pat dry. Lightly oil and place in the air fryer for 10 minutes. While it cooks, make a salad. This one includes wild rocket, iceberg lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber, tomato, kalamata olives, with house dressing. There's some excess fishcake mix that I cooked off in the microwave and shaped into lozenges with a pair of teaspoons.
Once upon a time not so long ago I had the privilege of helping to manage a few hives. Keeping bees is a great way to learn about your local environment and its overall health - hungry bees don't produce much honey.
MacFie's book came out in the 1930s and it has become an absolute classic and is well worth reading today.
I enjoyed the strong colours against the rough background.
As in all things, I looked at the bottom line: "Not to be fly posted" it says. I suspect the Trotskyists have been infiltrated by Anarchists.
It's Sunday, and no need to bake a cake - I've been given some nice Genoa cake that will last the week, I'm sure.
But I fancy a substantial dessert - "Apple pie, why not?"
Well, it's something new, so here it is, coming out of the air fryer.
This week's bread is a kind of granary loaf, using Dove's organic Malthouse flour. It's not bad and makes decent toast. A slice of bread with soup is just the job.
like the blush under your cheek, and I'll even settle for that. Whatever.
Currently reading. Whenever we're apart we're always connected by Carol Ann Duffy.
But walking about in these is more bearable than shoes while the sun still shines. And yes, I wear socks with them.
"These are Crocs Classic All Terrain Clogs in the Chai/Multi colorway, featuring a unique blue and orange adjustable turbo strap."

Some would say that Norman Nicholson is the greatest Cumbrian poet since Wordsworth. I just know that I felt like a rung bell after reading his poetry.
Coffee of the week. This is another new one for me. I love how coffee is roasted in Spain. This is from Asturias. Time to grind!
On Moor Gate there is a row of former quarrymen's houses that are on an embankment above the road.. This airvent is at street level.
The dense vegetation provides shade and retains moisture - all that's required for thirsty bees and little birds. And me.
Storm Amy is currently battering the north west of England. Branches fly off trees and some roof slates have loosened and I listen to the rain dripping through the gaps.
I've never seen my barometer register such low pressure.
As predicted when I was a child, this is our new normal.
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 😁

The granite threshold to the beer cellar shows a couple hundred years' wear. The casks used to be wooden, but today they're mostly steel things.
If you can weld and want to make a smoker or hangi cooker, beer kegs are ideal in size and robustness.
In a corner of the library is a tea and cake stand, run by volunteers from the Firiends of Lancaster Library. After a morning at work, a slice of coffee and walnut cake with a nice cup of coffee was what I needed. Looking up at the ceiling, I noticed these words. I thought they were rather fun.
one of several windows at Christchurch, Lancaster. I couldn't see any about them but I'd lay money that it's by Shrigley and Hunt. That green tint seems to be their signature.
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 😁
Purple beetroots go with good memories, but this time I couldn't resist these vibrant. sweet red capsicums.
This is a mounting block on the side of a house in Garstang. Note the variety of sizes, to accommodate riders and horses of different sizes: small, medium, and large.
Small, medium, and large sizes in clothes first came about during the American Civil Ware, when uniform manufacturers found it easier to produce uniforms in only three sizes, and have regimental tailors do the adjustments once the uniform had been issued. Junior ranks were expected to do their own sewing for simple things.
A new bin arrived that allows me to collect the recycling in one place and not have to look at a chaotic mess on the floor. Not an ideal solution, but acceptable for now.
Outside the gelateria on Sun Street is a rather incongruous giant model of a '99' - a concoction of soft-serve ice cream with a chocolate flake, on a cornet wafer. These were made famous in UK by Mr Whippy ice cream vans, starting in Birmingham, in 1958.
Conversely, the dark chocolate gelato sold in this shop is possibly the best I have tasted outside Italy.
This is the Mary Anne, the last remaining rowed ferry that was used on Windermere. It would have been built and in use before 1870, when the powered ferries were introduced. Ferries had been in use on Windermere since at least the 1450s.
This was rowed with huge oars, called sweeps. The ferry is 40 feet long and 11 feet at the beam, and had a movable ramp, to allow cattle to be loaded and unloaded easily.
Mary Anne sank off Belle Isle sometime after WW2 and was recovered in 1978. It is now under preservation at the Windermere Jetty Museum, which is a world leader in the preservation, restoration and maintenance of boats.
(If you are in the area, do go and support this charity; it's interesting, and has a great cafe that has tables right by the waterside!)
Mix everything together, make a log and bake it for about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and cut on the bias into 10 mm pieces. Return to the oven and back for another 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack.
There are many opnions about how long to leave them to cool before putting into an airtight container. I'm going with 12 hours, so that they stay crisp and dunkable.
