Getting down to the hard grit

Yup, fingers hitting the keys hard, mental fan whirring. I think I qualified as doing that, at least a little bit, whilst on the CityLife desk of the MEN.
Here’s some pieces I’ve done…
- Haworth wins again
- The Big Pink - gracing stages and shops
- Abba The Show - M.E.N’s big Christmas party
- Angel Of The North model at Chatsworth
- A beast at Shift Time in Shrewsbury
Picnic
English-style picnic, what to take?
So far on my list: cheese scones (very English), English cheeses and biscuits, chocolate brownies (not quite so English, but delicious nevertheless), wine, chocolates, fruit salad, and a few other things which I can’t quite remember.
Naturally, the red and stripy picnic blanket is in tow as well. Couldn’t possibly do without the gorgeous patterns…
Egg, sausage, bacon, tomatoes… what’s much better than a cooked brunch?
Had a jab today (the new HPV one that requires you to have three jabs!), and was feeling rather weesy. Or at least, my mum was with me, and so I did the whole, ‘um… not sure about my sugar levels’ business. It resulted in an invite to have some food. Cafe, newspapers, good food, and catching up with my mum (our schedules seem to have clashed recently.) What’s not to like?
I was in France recently (as I say, more about that soon - if I get the necessary interviewees) and they all (read: the lycéens) seemed curious about our English breaky. Some seemed to think it was a daily thing and explained our obesity levels (no, actually, it’s more now and then…) A beautiful English thing in my books. Let’s hope it stays for good.
