Town Planner. Own views. Still misses Ynys Môn. Loves a good book, a city break and the great outdoors.

I’m usually pretty rubbish at looking after myself, but today I’ve had the most amazing full body massage and cooked a wonderful roast chicken dinner AND a soy, date and beef stew from #waitrose that will serve us well next weekend. Bliss.
Finally, some snow in this part of Somerset! It might only have been 23 flakes that instantly melted into the sodden ground… it’s not picturesque, but we didn’t miss out like all the aurora viewings!
First rhubarb crumble of the season. Inspired as I usually am in such matters by @nigella.bsky.social Yum.
