Made some pork and shrimp siu mai last night, served them with a sweet chilli dip 😋. A bit arduous, but a huge batch that can be stored in the freezer is very useful. #foodsky #whatscooking

Satellite moth visitor, safely back outside now. I read it doesn’t truly hibernate and is active on mild nights.

It has become a Winter Solstice tradition for me to make a Yule log with my youngest granddaughter, Arrietty. Last year we decorated it with snowmen truffles, and this year we made a family of 10 chocolate marzipan hedgehogs!

Cladonia fimbriata is very common #lichen in Britain, but how splendid to see in such profusion! Distinguished from other similar pixie-cups by 'golf-tee' shape, and by surface of uniformly farinose i.e. 'powdery' soredia. On moss on calcareous drystone wall, Normanby-le-Wold, Lincolnshire, England.

I love the Winter Solstice, it feels like you're crossing the border from one time to another. The days get longer, the sun slowly begins to climb higher and all we need to do is watch the sunset push itself back later & later through January and we've made it.

Eggnog, I made it with spiced dark rum instead of brandy and it’s lovely, especially with that nutmeg. #whatscooking #foodsky

Up with the Choughs on Holyhead Mountain and perambulating the white wall circuit of one of our favourite hillforts, Caer y Twr. Had to make the most of the sunshine ☀️ back to rain and gales tomorrow.

I locked myself out today, doh!, but it was worth every cold moment as I encountered a beautiful horse, as well as a goldcrest.
