Oyster mushrooms in Ravenscraig Park - just enough for dinner.
A ramble after work to look for chanterelles. Found plenty, along with lots of other interesting fungi.

Down to Newcastle to visit M. We went for a lovely 15 mile hike in Weardale. We didn't ford a river, but did climb two hills and see three waterfalls. Then ate pizza.

Visits with Froyja, Ash and Pika. A wander across Newcastle.. the tunnel under the river was closed but there was a replacement bus. Return via the North-South Shields ferry.

Coworking in Newcastle with the BODS crew.
I woke up at sunrise and managed to catch a glimpse of the glow through the window. So I went for a wander around the city center, across the bridges, saw the castle and the vampire rabbit.
Ate tasty food at Super Natural, Snackwallah, Cantina, Pink Lane Bakery.

Rearranging my flat to accommodate the houseplants I've inherited. Also started tackling the hallway chaos cupboard/drawers.

Made a fuzzy seal friend with some velvety yarn I've been wondering what to do with for a while.

Walked from Kirkcaldy to Kinghorn for an 80th birthday celebration in a field. This was after a visit to an antiques sale and the garden center with K, what a wild day!

Two days of garden catchup. Massive harvests - runner and french beans, courgettes, cucumbers, gherkins, tomatoes, rhubarb, blueberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries. New chilli plants are starting to fruit. Pulled out mustard greens and dying squash, and planted leeks.

Made some dead good food this week. Curry night: aloo chard, tomato dahl, courgette pakoras. Peanut stirfry. And to conquer the harvest: many fruit crumbles, gooseberry pies, salads, fermented cucumbers/courgettes, bottled tomato and veg.

R dropped off about 5kg of chanterelles for me to "deal with".
Sometimes people think it's weird that I log all of my purchases on my website, but do you you know exactly how long a 2.5kg bag of chocolate chips lasts you? I didn't think so. (It lasts me one year minus one day.)

Preserved more of the tomato and runner bean harvest by bottling a tamarind bean curry.
Made proper risotto for perhaps the first time ever, using chanterelle and bean stock. Crunchy french beans inside, and sauteed chanterelles on top. Super good.

Apple crumble. A phonecall from a local business asking if we'd take 12kg of defrosting raspberries. I said I'd stay late to process them into compote, how could we say no?!?

A trip to Helensburgh to visit J and family. A very wet day, got soaked multiple times over. But in between managed lots of nice food and frolics.

A visit to Livingston to help K&M paint (or, as it turns out, strip wallpaper). And snuggle time with Lowenna. Who prevented me from sleeping. But is still the sweetest thing.

Successfully removed the builtin hallway cupboards. Behind them was surprisingly not a disaster! A bit of hole filling to do, but basically ready for shelves.

Too many cucumbers, beans and tomatoes to deal with.. Ran out of vinegar... It's fermenting time.
