Waiting for him to be announced as Reform or Restore candidate for the next general election. He peddles the usual tropes about immigration and people on benefits. Horrible man.

Funny how nobody ever talks about the “legitimate concerns” people have about the extreme concentration of wealth among a small number of billionaires.

Crundle pudding is a dessert that originates from just outside Chipping Campden, so it seemed appropriate to make after visiting the area today. Its a very light sponge flavoured with nutmeg and traditionally served with stewed fruit. #foodsky #pudding #dessert

For the final full day of my Cotswolds adventure, I went on a 13 mile walk. Starting in Chipping Campden and taking in Dover's Hill, Saintbury, Broadway and Broadway Tower with sections of the walk following the Cotswold Way. #walk #outdoors #Cotswolds

Another traditional Cotswolds dish tonight: Gloucestershire squab pie. It's filled with lamb, onion and apple. Lamb isn't the most obvious meat when you think of the Cotswolds, but there are plenty of sheep around here. #foodsky #homecooking #pie

An excursion to the Hereford Marches this afternoon. There has been a campaign since 2012 to get the area recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. #walk #outdoors #nature

This is described in the Cotswolds revipe book as "Sweet gammon pie". THIS IS NOT A PIE! With layers of gammon, apricots and sultanas, topped by slices of potato, there is no pastry in sight. A Cotswolds version of a Lancashire hotpot at best. Served with creamy leeks. #foodsky #goodlunch

If you go down to the woods today...
A walk in the Forest of Dean this morning, following a sculpture trail for part of the way. This part of the Forest of Dean used to be used for mining but little sign of that still remains; rewilding at its best.

I'm considering unfollowing anyone who doesn't allow me to comment on their posts. Because what's the point in following you if I'm not allowed to interact with you?

Having failed to get pizza at Clarkson's farm/pub, I picked a reasonably decent stone baked one up from the supermarket. Served with a can of Hawkstone Black stout from Clarkson's farm.

Visited a few more places in the car later in the day: Stow on the Wold, Diddly Squat Farm, Burford and The Farmer's Dog (Jeremy Clarkson's pub). My plan was to get dinner from the outdoor pizza van in the grounds of Clarkson's pub but they stop serving at 5pm!

Burnham should call this village's bluff. Declare them independent. Then impose massive tariffs on anything they want to import from the UK. Charge them to use local NHS services. Charge them to send their kids to the local secondary schools. See if they still want to be independent then.

Why do people keep charring lettuce? I've tried it and wasn't overly impressed.

A pleasant 7 mile circular walk this afternoon. Setting off from Goodrich Castle, the hike went through Goodrich Cross before following the River Wye past Yat Rock to Welsh Bicknor then over the hill back to the Castle.

Visited Goodrich Castle this morning in the Wye Valley which lies on the England/Wales border. The keep was built in the mid 12th century by Richard de Clare, then significantly extended in the late 13th century by William de Valance. #history #museum #heritage
