I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the Agatha Christie stories of #ReadChristie2025. I’ve read along each month and managed versions in books, films, TV, audio books, radio adaptations & a play script. Looking forward to #ReadChristie2026 now.

This week's (from 2018) @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Orange and prosecco jelly
I've not made many jellies but this worked out perfectly! Deliciously refreshing & had a bit of a fizz.
Need to work on my 'turning out' skills as it only just made it on to the plate!
