Always happy to see a mill in action, this one in Frederick the Great’s back garden. Not sure what’s going on with that jar at the end though

Had an extraordinarily good dinner at .bistro last night - potato tortilla with coriander aioli, exceptional sourdough with miso butter, flat-iron steak and charred green beans (didn’t get any photos as we were too busy eating them), plus a truly outstanding natural Sancerre rosé. Impeccable service and great atmosphere. Heartfelt thanks to the team for squeezing us in despite our abject failure to book a table, and especially to for the recommendation - we’d never have found this amazing place otherwise!

Excellent piece of reportage by giving the lie to the likes of Farage, Musk and Yaxley-Lennon (I refuse to use his assumed nomenclature). I'm hoping that our former DPP PM will find particularly large legal tomes to throw at all three of them

The rhetoric taps into genuine frustration yet the UK is safer and more tolerant than ever.

A bit surreal to find myself suddenly in Chicago but hey, these things happen

Fine Easter supper - mint & mustard rubbed lamb from thanks to (with a tofu version for the dead sheep refuseniks), plus Jersey Royals (natch), roasted fennel and cabbage, and a rather fine rhubarb relish

After an early hailstorm we actually had some decent weather for the final hedgelaying session of the season
