…ham and jam, kippers and treacle..

….through the cooking glass …
As with Alice, the reverse can be, and often is, the truth. The real joy lies in the contents of the cooking glass passing through the cook. Sadly there is no clear reference as to how much joy can be … Continue reading

Waking with a bee in your ear……

Billions of Christians across the world will be making the best of a Good Friday that was far from good for the main protagonist who was executed in the most grisly fashion for the good of mankind. Looking at the … Continue reading

Fromage fouette and baies roses… a taste of Spring
February is at last grinding to its weary end. Much as I hate the thought of wishing even a single hour of my life away, I do find February enervating. This does not just relate to this February, but to every … Continue reading

Something for the weekend, Sir?
A childhood of single sex boarding schools, followed by a career in any sex you like photography, has cleanly excised any sexual prejudice that in a less testing environment might have flourished. Doing unto others as you would have them … Continue reading
