Normal has failed us… It seems that every mis-step that our current Administration has taken has been made worse by the desire not to depart from the normal, either in their response or the consequences of their response and now it appears that the dangerous...
Preserved lemons are great and they last for yonks. If you don't get enough juice you can just top up with salted water, boiled and cooled. I never actually cut them into quarters, just cut two slits down the middle, like they do in Morocco, so they are...

Boris Johnson is a mediocre intellect and a weak personality inflated well beyond his capacity by a lifetime of delusions hitherto indulged by slavering press outlets and spineless politicians. This crisis has exposed his weakness and mediocrity. He can't...
I grew up in an era where air travel was for people who could afford it. The rest of us used trains and, for long journeys, ships. Once I could afford to fly, I did and I enjoyed it. Then along came the "cheap" flights with ever more seats crammed into...

Nothing quite marks the coming of spring more clearly than birdsong. From the start of the new year, as inch-by-inch, -by-minute, and hour-by-hour, the days get lighter and the promise of life’s annual renewal becomes ever more a reality, so the volume,...
