Never had a proper beard before… not 100% sure about it. Someone the other day said I looked like Christopher Lee from Lord of the Rings. I think I need to put some text underneath the image, or this thing loses its shit and doesn’t know how to render the image properly.

So to round out a trio of food posts, tonight we dipped into the @marcuswareing catalogue again for Curry Spiced Salmon with seeded pumpkin salad, and I hadn't realised quite how many seeds were involved.

This year's harvest sees a marked volume improvement on last year, but still nothing to really write home about thanks to those chirping bastards out there.

5 more years of black mirrors

In 2009 I thought it would be gripping and insightful to write about all the mobile phones I’d ever owned. And then in 2014 it seemed appropriate to update the list with what had come next. So, another 5 years on in 2020 it seemed only fair to thrill and regale you further with stories…

Tales from the Colony Room

The history of Soho’s Colony Room Club – a gathering place of Bohemians, artists, and free thinkers – established in 1948 by the redoubtable Muriel Belcher and closed in 2008.
