I was given this pond liner for Xmas nearly 5 yrs ago- at last I’ve got it in on the allotment! Slugs and snails beware!

I’m inordinately proud of my first homegrown cantaloupe melon - the aroma coming off it is dizzying!

First day since May that there has been sufficient rain here in Exeter to make any appreciable impact on the allotment!

I love homegrown, homemade food. I love cooking with lovely ingredients and finding new recipes.

I also love butterscotch angel delight. Don’t judge me, I’m a child of the ‘70s.

I remember at the beginning of my career enjoying submitting a paper. Now the process is yet another ballache that sucks any joy out of being an academic
