Sad that Vladyslav Heraskevych lost his appeal. In my opinion the IOC is wrong. Wonderful to see that the amazing Zelensky has honoured him! Volodymyr Zelenskyy honours disqualified skeleton racer with order of freedom. #ukraine #ioc

I could do with a slice and a cuppa right about now! 🍰😋

Stopped by a local farm shop for Seville oranges. The kitchen is about to smell of bitter citrus, whisky and sugar. Seville orange season has begun. 🍊🟠🧡

Wolf Super moon 🌚🌛 over the Kent coast - view from my window.

Such a cosy, relaxed and welcoming vibe at t'Klokhuys. Definitely worth a visit, but be sure you book in advance!

Enjoying a little downtime in festive Gent ❤️

I can’t bake these mince pies fast enough, they vanish the moment they cool. Just managed to get this batch onto a plate, with Christmas in full swing in the background. ‧₊˚🎄✩ ₊˚🦌⊹🧸

Happy Birthday to Jean-Michel Basquiat, born on this day in 1960. I find myself mourning his death and imagining who he could have been if he hadn’t died in 1988. I believe his prolific art practice was him reckoning with his own mortality. (Portraits by James Van Der Zee, 1982)

A walk through a very rainy Sandwich town last night to see the Christmas tree and lights, now I’m getting into the spirit. 🎄🎅🏻☃️❆🎀🔔🎁🦌#SilentNight

It's the most wonderful time of year! 🎄🎅🤶🕯️🎁... Lots to do but no one here is complaining!

Garlic and autumn onions are settling in well - Kingsland Wight, Germidour, Solent Wight, Carcassonne Wight and Senshyu onions. The bed had green manure, seaweed and well-rotted muck. Good to see the prep from earlier in the year doing its job. #KitchenGarden 🧄🧅🌱

First Christmas card 🎄 this year from our friends at Fattoria La Vialla.

Now for some good news: the UK is finally moving to shut down ripoff ticket resellers. You should soon be able to buy seats directly from venues without touts grabbing everything first. #MusicSky

Briefly stopped by the allotment this morning and spotted a twin spider web strung with raindrops across the gate railings. At 8°C the chill made each bead stand out, a small reminder of how sharp the morning can be this time of year. #allotment 🕸️🕷️ྀི

Developers pushing ahead without basic wildlife checks is absurd. And when ministers spend more time with builders than conservation experts, the risk grows. We can build new homes, but not by wrecking the habitats that keep our countryside alive. #britishwildlife #uk

Greenhouse scrubbed, soil replaced with well-rotted manure, compost and topsoil. Bubble wrap added to insulate and keep cuttings warm. Early seeding starts in January. The 2026 kitchen garden is already in motion. #GreenHeart 💚

Deana gives my Spicy ketchup a try, pairs it with duck fat fries and her photo renders it all perfectly. Thank you @goodfood.kitchen

The race to launch AI apps is moving faster than any real quality control. In the rush to be first, safety and oversight are being ignored and people are getting hurt. When a chatbot can push a child toward suicide, that’s not innovation, it’s negligence. #AI

Back lane from Milford to Farnah Green looking autumnal 🍂🍁🧡 #derbyshire

Just wrapped the shoot for Meeta’s @meetakwolff.bsky.social Spicy Ketchup. Couldn’t resist testing it properly with a batch of homemade duck fat fries before starting on the edits. Crisp, rich, and that ketchup’s got just the right kick.

A year ago this soil was spent. I've worked in compost made from seaweed, chicken and cow manure, oak leaves and bracken. Now it’s rich, organic and full of life. It’s taken time, but it’s ready. Looking forward to planting into it next spring. #homestead 🚜🌾👨‍🌾🌿

Spent the weekend building a new fence and gate for the kitchen garden allotment - bit of help from friends, an old goat pen gate and salvaged wood. Soaked to the skin by the end, but a rainbow turned up as if to say - well done. Quite pleased with it. #KitchenGarden 👩‍🍳🍃 ‧₊˚🌈

RIP Jane Goodall. Here she is with another incredible conservationist and humanitarian, David Attenborough. Times like this make you wish the world had a few more Janes and Davids.

Allotment’s come a long way. Soil’s had a full organic rethink - lush, fertile, thriving. Evening sunset put on a show: orange and blue under a ceiling of cloud. Hard to believe it’s getting darker already and summer’s drawing in. #timetogohome

Tim Berners-Lee: “You shouldn’t be owned, not even your data.” The man who gave us the web for free reminds us: when companies treat your life as their property, the question is simple - who really owns you? #www

Blueberries settled, raspberry trellises built and the berry bed finally complete. Summer fruiting canes are set to climb, while the ground is readied for autumn and winter tasks. A season’s work now shaping next year’s harvest. #allotment #growyourown

A bumblebee still busy in September, gathering pollen from the cosmos I planted along the allotment border. Surprised to see one active this late, but the blooms are clearly worth its time – legs dusted, wings humming 🌸🌻🍯🐝💛 #bloomscrolling #allotmentlife

Calm after the storm. After a few days of heavy rain, the kitchen garden at the allotment is buzzing. A dragonfly hunts over the borage. Good to see things settling back into rhythm. #allotmentlife ≽༏≼🦋

I recently made this gooseberry & blackcurrant frangipane with fruit from the allotment - red and green gooseberries, sharp and sweet. Served with cream and not a crumb left. #kitchengarden

Just picked our red onions and they’re now curing out on the soil. Plump, deep in colour, and fully organic. It’s been a slow grow this year, but the bulbs have come through well. Looking forward to seeing how they store. #KitchenGarden

Stunning Waterlily House at Kew! Each lilypad is a perfect peace of art! Isn't nature incredible #waterlillies #lilypad #naturelover #gardens

What could be more enjoyable than a day at Kew Gardens with your best friend who's in town from Los Angeles for a few days. Much chatter and a feast for the eyes. Glorious ❤️

Good morning. A basket of ripe plums gathered from the allotment. I’m thinking a slow simmer with sugar until it deepens and thickens. Jam jars at the ready. #kitchengarden 🍑

Earworm of the day: David Bowie - Waterloo Sunset. Bowie covering The Kinks classic is fab. #earworm #musicsky #outsidebroadcast #bowie

A better look at the cherry and blackberry crumble. I reckon this shot captures it more clearly, and I might just prefer it to the first.

The allotment’s full of blackberries and black cherries at the moment. I made a crumble using both and served it warm with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. Everything from scratch. Simple, seasonal, and just right. #KitchenGarden ⋆ ✦ ̚ 🍒ɞ ˚ ⋆ 🥧

Busy bees are loving the borage up at the allotment! #budybees #pollinators #allotmentvisitors

My kitten-girl! She's a real character!

Starting on the berry patch today: raspberries and blueberries. Just tested the soil pH - the blueberry bed is sitting at 7.0, far too neutral. Next up soil conditioning, then working to bring the acidity down to where it needs to be. #KitchenGarden 🫐

Earworm of the day: George Michael - Fame (Live). A favourite artist covering my favourite artist. 🫰🎶⚡ #OutsideBroadcast

28 days ago I sowed French Breakfast Radish seeds. Today I pulled up a crisp little harvest – slender, bright and just over thumb-length. They’re going into a salad this evening, bringing a mild sharpness and a clean, peppery bite. #KitchenGarden 🌱🥬🥒🍅

Picking up some farm fresh eggs for the weekend from Juliet's Farm Shop #farmfresh #freerange #roamingfree

Such a picturesque village. Visiting Lefkes in May was ideal since there were far less visitors than in the summer months, plus the weather was perfect. Dreaming of returning again soon ❤️🇬🇷💼 #greece #paros #travelbug

Sad to hear that the amazing Chuck Mangione has died. RIP. One of my favourite tracks - always feels so good... Pardon the pun! . ❤️🎷🎵 youtube.com/watch?v=V7dg... #chuckmangione #feelssogood

😋🧑‍🌾🪏🍠🥬

Hard at it!!! Pretty happy with the outcome!

Finished a small slab patio beside the allotment greenhouse, with a patch of grass alongside. A quiet spot to sit and reflect. #KitchenGarden

Perfectly cooked haddock - Delish - Wonderful view, and the very best company - my Mr. Z! ❤️ What more could a girl ask for on a Friday night! 😁

It’s redcurrant season and my allotment plot is brimming with currants. They’re ripe and glistening, destined for a redcurrant and raspberry sorbet, later today. 🍒🌿 #PlotToPlate
