I wear a lot of wool. Not set fire to the kitchen for years now. Cats and hens can dispose of evidence: they are thorough but slow. Denizen of #Wulferhampton. In real world North West England. Mostly happy.
Good morning #Wülferhampton!
3rd of December and behind today's Spudvent calendar window is
Cara!
A reliable, heavy-yielding maincrop potato with good disease resistance. Rounded, pink-skinned tubers with shallow eyes and floury white flesh. It is excellent for baking, roasting, and chipping.

And having gone on about eating dead animals, here is tonight's dinner.
Courgette, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and breadcrumbs.
It'll look dandy when it's cooked.

We appear to have a diversity of opinion.
I reckon she's an artistic non-sexual nude, they reckon she's sexually suggestive; but not nude.
William Etty would be delighted.

I am the Wülferhampton equivalent of William Etty. Victorian artist who kept painting nude women. One painting seemed even more gratuitous than his usual fare, so decided to add chains and call her Andromeda. This did not have the placating effect he had hoped.

2nd of December, and behind today's Spudvent calendar window are Kestrel.
A personal favourite, these versatile little beauties are usually ready from mid-July, and can be used as new potatoes after first earlies, or stored like main crops. Beautiful purple eyes.

This book is excellent, btw.
I am a part-time vegetarian. Which I know isn't actually a vegetarian.
Some actual vegan dishes in it, too.

Today is the 1st of December, and behind today's Spudvent calendar window is...
A Pentland Javelin!
A high-yielding, first-early potato variety known for its waxy, creamy-white flesh and good disease resistance.
A fine potato!

Also, lost his brother just after VE day. Hit a mine in the North Sea.
Last time i6 was back in Crosby I took a photo of his name on the war memorial. I was pissed and it was at 1:30 am.
Fittingly so, I felt.

No just Whalley.
Whalley Range is in Manchester.
Whalley is in East Lancs and has a rather agreeable ruined abbey and day-tripping Mancs drinking to excess. I have no pics of the Mancs, but a few of the Abbey.

Would seriously recommend the Philharmonic pub.
There are a lot of good pubs. St Nicholas Church at the Pier Head is worth a visit.
When they were starting to build the Catholic Cathedral, they had a number of interesting ways to raise funds.

I know it was John the Baptist famously, but I think others followed in his path of living in the desert wearing camel-hair robes, eating locusts and honey. Ideally without the Salome linked decapitation.
Admittedly in this she looks uninvolved, like a bored waitress seving Baptist head to table 9.
