Hello! Calling all Americans/Canadians/Australians/everyone else who are not in my timezone who likes puzzly word games like Wordle and Connections. I made a game called Keywords and it is quite good fun. Give it a try - or please share it with someone who might like it!

I've written about how Beth Chatto has influenced me, and how beautifully she wrote about food. tales-from-topographic-kitchens.ghost.io/beth-chatto-...

#Today has been spent Standing on a #narrowboat And waving at #trains.

Day’s opening door Freshly painted each morning Creaking with birdsong

wherever we may be - however far from the sea - the walls will take us to the water ..

You don't need a #narrowboat when you already have a narrow boat.

Couldn't be mithered making chapatis so it is vindaloo pies for tea today.

First haiku ever Lies shattered on the hard floor: The poet dropped it.

Moon like a tossed coin Hanging in the sky’s wide room Holds my morning eye

Good morning!
