Unfinished business


In my first year of university I decided that I would permanently borrow enough fridge magnets to spell out my name.

I only got this far.

I'm thinking I resume me quest.

Now to find someone with fridge magnets...

I don't really listen to the radio.

If had one of these I would.

I envisage myself switching it on and being transformed into a 50's style housewife.

Having a mini disco to Elvis, The Sha-na-na's, Mathra Reeves and the Vandellas, Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons and so on.

General fun times.

"Now, take me to your leader. Or, lead me to your taker. "


From a young age I have been a major fan of The Avengers.

I must however clarify from the start that I am a fan of the original cast aka Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg. I never could stand that silly Linda Thorson or anyone else that followed in her footsteps. It just never felt right. The chemistry had gone.

I would watch re-runs constantly on Bravo and I'm pretty sure I was the only one of my age doing this! Perhaps this is where I get my extreme Britishness from?

I'm not sure how old I was (maybe about 9-10) but one year for my birthday, I was given two fish, my first proper pets, I named them Emma and Steed. Steed only had one eye but seemed to live as happy a life a goldfish can have.

One of my favourite episodes was 'The House That Jack Built', but, I truly do love them all.

Hmm searching for pictures of has really made me want a bowler hat.

By the kilo...




Channeling my inner Oliver, I've been baking a lot of late.

Hardly surprising I look more at the pictures rather then the actual recipes.

Somewhat alarmingly I've found myself really loving a photo of a dead rabbit in one of his books.

In light of my new hobby I felt inspired to take some of my own foodie photos, so here is my first batch.

Fresh from the South bank market.
