Hello and welcome to my weekly roundup of posts you may have missed during the week…weather wise it has been a mixed week but the temps are dropping a little as we get into our “winter”…its nice weather to walk in though and I am increasing my daily steps gradually and feel better for it…It is enjoyable walking in the early morning nice and quiet plus you get the best of the market I am enjoying some huge passionfruit at the moment instead of being golf ball size they are like bigger versions of a cricket ball and full of lovely sweet and sour flesh…

Monday Musings… this is where normally I share some things that have thrilled me, made me think or smile or even have a mini-rant but generally it is my happy place and I hope yours …

Last week’s Monday Musings focused on “housekeeping” our blogs with one of the aims being to combat scammers and bots…not wanting to give these stupid girls a platform I also highlighted the vandalism of work of art plus a great video on how waste is being utilised in India it makes good viewing and made me feel hopeful as I do think the use i=of plastic crept up during the covid quarantines…

Tuesday it was another breakfast/brunch with meat…this is one of my favourites as it has fruit, walnuts and ricotta on some lovely sourdough or wholemeal bread it is delicious…

Some of my regular readers may have noticed that I have rescheduled some of my older posts the reason is twofold one to combat those pesky scammers and two because my newer readers may not have read them and of course, with healthy eating posts there can also be new research or thought changes so an update keeps it current,,,

Edible Roots is the theme of this week’s posts and it is important as discussed the previous week that anything we forage or try that we haven’t tried before must, of course, be edible but also palatable…

Saturday Snippets…

One of my favourite posts of the week to write…My initial thought when my muse dropped this in my lap was that it was payback for ignoring her last week and that she had thrown me a curve ball but my research unearthed some great snippets…it just shows that initial impressions are not always right…

It also seems that “lost” prompted memories from many of you…thank you for the links Pete and Pete plus Joy had written about “Otzi the Iceman” a fascinating find by climbers please head over and have a read…Thank you for sharing this with us Joy it was a wonderful find…
