I cut my heather back. Here’s to hoping it survives the winter. Funny story about those scissors – they were £2 in a knick-knack shop I went into in London to buy a pack of metal straws. Because I am clearly part magpie, I was drawn in by the design and couldn’t resist the impulse buy. At the tills, the cashier asked me if I was over eighteen as in the UK you can’t sell blades to children. He made my day, if not week, by assuming I wasn’t of age. I mean, even if he was using the ‘Challenge 25’ rule, it’s still a compliment considering I turned thirty-four at the start of the month.

I’m still making bread. I have decided to be less seat-of-my-pants about my flour stocks. I have always just bought flour when I need it and never kept more than a kilo in at any one time. Over the past few weeks I have been adding an extra bag to my basket when I buy flour so that I have a few kilos on hand should everyone rush to the shops and stockpile toilet paper and flour again in anticipation of another shutdown and/or no deal Brexit. Bread flour and soya milk are the only things I’m keeping a few items set aside for, as we really don’t have the storage space for anything else and those were the only two products I really struggled to find back in March.

My favourite mural in Chinatown. This is the mural I refer to in this piece.
