Wow, I found someone else who agrees with me that mobile phones are the work of the devil.  And they’ve published an article to say this on Wired (a technology magazine).  If you use a mobile phone, read it!

When I find a new ingredient, I tend to use it a lot to start with, so last night I made the parsnip thing again. This time I didn’t use sweetcorn and I used more spiring onion. I also added a bit of ginger an dried thyme – I liked it even more than the first version.

Today I’m putting more coconut butter into jars for the Funky Raw shop. I’m going to do a Vipassana meditation course on Wednesday which is 10 days long – I’ll be away for 12 days in total, so it seems like I have a lot to get finished. Anyway, the coconut butter is delicious, it’s hand made in Thailand, completely raw, organic, etc. I can’t stop eating it myself, there’ll be none left to sell! I like to open a date up, fill with cacao nibs then top with coconut butter, mmm, I might just go and make one now…

Today I walked to Paignton.  It’s about 16km (10miles) and it was a beautiful walk.  Along country lanes, across fields, through woods, by streams and rivers.  In the last section just coming up to Paignton there is some ancient woodland and I found loads of wild garlic.  When I got home Holly made this into soup, which was delicious.

So, I’ve always loved photography and often, while thinking of a job I’d really enjoy doing, I’d think “there must be a way to earn some money from my photography”. And you can’t say I haven’t tried, see www.madmouseart.com, for example. So today I was surprised to realise that I’d finally done it, well nearly anyway. Today I was taking photos of hemp seeds for the online shop I run. Not the kind of photography I imagined, but it’s a start.

Hello world!

It seems everyone has a blog now so I thought I should get one.  I had a website before most people but seem to be the last to get a blog!
