It’s like Ukraine, but it ain’t. When black migrate workers were denied access into neighbouring countries when fleeing conflict.. quite despicable really

My thoughts are with his family and close friends, RIP rider

Thanks @marcomarcos :) those Dunn River seasoning tubs do have similar parts. I suppose it’s all down to convenience. I should take a closer look. Not that I would make my own version from scratch. I suspect many West Indian households do though. Maybe Indian households might blend spices for different curries.

From Dunn River.. forgot whole pimento seeds now included to ingredients above

I’ve not added extra bones for more flavour.. that said roasted bone marrow on toast as a starter.. swoon

Glad you enjoyed listening, also love how it is continually celebrated and revered

Listening from the comfort of home, caravan, even tent, basically on land. In the knowledge that the sea can be a very cruel place when conditions worsen.

This solemn, rhythmic intonation of the shipping forecast on BBC radio is as familiar as the sound of Big Ben chiming the hour. Since its first broadcast in the 1920s it has inspired poems, songs and novels in addition to its intended objective of warning generations of seafarers of impending storms and gales.

Amazing, also thanks for the tip I reckon both would make good audio books.. in fact any story related to the sea.

it’s this time of year when I think about the Andrea Gail crew

Really great recommendation Ed,

Strong work from Malice, no doubt your missus is in good hands

Your tattoo is ♥️

Mads Hermansen.. what is it about Danish goalkeepers.. I’m already a fan..

Arsenal were very lucky yesterday..

I don't understand what the issue is about not allowing a blood test

the point is that it is happening in this country, has nothing to do with the NHS.. think about it.. if you want a test your GP is the first place you’d ask.. I ask every year for a PSA test, reminded that it is inconclusive, blah blah. If you then think what’s the point, the chances are that you might not pick it up early enough.

One on my read list, life affirming .. listening to the shipping forecast since a child during our extended summer stays near Burnham-on-Crouch, dreamt of visiting all our lighthouses, owning a terrier called Cromarty.. not sure I’d be happy in a sea kayak though, but what an adventure.
