A 2013 vintage glass or two went down nicely last night. Felt fitting to mark our farewell to Christmas, its decorations & down time.

Mature, yet fresh and crisp., the cuvée is named after Sir Harry Kroto, one of the team who discovered the C60 molecule.

New on the blog - bagels, bikes and brews at Workhorse in Canton. I’ve got a hell of a lot of time for a good homemade bagel but there are barely any available in #Cardiff.

Deep and crisp and even.

Saved the best until last. Pettigrew Bakeries' mince pies; filled generously, balanced spicing & short pastry holding the whole together while you eat.

Massive thanks to you growers, producers, pickers, preppers, bakers, cheffers, victuallers, FoH-ers, KPs, cleaners, writers & bsky friends.

You fed/watered, talked food & life, made us think, raised spirits, shared joy & made a difference to that which was 2025.

May 2026 treat us all well!🥂🍾

Heed the message.

- Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.

It's just prescient, and eerie, how this fits what's happening right now.

Exactly this⤵️
So Boris Johnson, Prince Phillip, Andrew Bonar Law, Freddie Mercury, George I, George II, Richard E Grant, Douglas Carswell, Rudyard Kipling, Cliff Richard, Joanna Lumley and Spike Milligan weren't British?

The tree's up...

The Christmas menu's planned...
Some of the presents are bought, and some of them are even wrapped...

But there's one problem - what to get for the food lover in your life.

A pair of slippers won't cut it.

Don't despair, 1861 is here!

Not sure 18+ need them but...
"Animals all around the country are being killed using catapults that have been easily bought in shops and online. We need to ban the sale of catapults to those under the age of 18 to stop these horrific killings." Add your name now: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...
