@skinnylatte They don’t guess with me, but that leads a whole load of questions, who’s your mother, father, distant relative, school teacher, cousin, etc They have to know! It’s meant as a nice thing, but man it can be intimidating if you’ve never experienced that before.

@skinnylatte Yes! I totally agree. Coming from Scotland even if people disagree there’s always a general consensus that this thing is always done this way. It’s both comforting and stifling at the same time. On the plus side you know exactly how everything works and what you’re meant to do but also if you suggest anything other than that to solve problems you get shut down.

Also it’s so weird getting interviewed for a job over there after living in the US and the interviewer asks where you went to elementary school because they are trying to find people that you both know or have in common.

My magnolia is blooming! Flowers are so underrated. It’s so lovely to see them again!

Can anyone recommend a good book or source about Dagda or Irish Mythology?

So this happened driving home yesterday at sunset. Any idea what this is? (please don’t say sun). I’ve never in all my days seen a vertical beam in a sunset before. Any ideas?

Do yourself a favor and go make this Prune Loaf. Don’t be put off by the name. It’s beautifully moist and lovely with a cup of coffee or tea. There’s a really nice citrusy zing. This is exactly the kind of thing that you’d find at a bake sale or coffee morning. I’ll definitely be keeping this in regular rotation! The world sucks right now, make space for tea and cake!
