so in the last three months, mr saucy squirrel has been back to his roots, to his acorn store over yonder, and he has had fun. he (i) have been living and working in a place called clissett wood in herefordshire, where i have been learning the art of green wood working. I have been cooking for this course, and so i get to do the course for free! So far i have made a lovely heart shaped coffee table for S (ahhhh), a few dibbers, a few spoons, some legs for a chunky bench for step ma's new allotment, and a ladderback chair! the ladderback was the most fun, it's very curvy, and i felled an elm tree, stripped off the bark and wove a seat for it. Very very satisfying. The place i was residing at was www.greenwoodwork.co.uk
Well it seems italic is stuck on.. mmmm...
Since i left italy, i have mostly been in the aforementioned woods, i have also spent a lot of time with my beautiful niece sophie, some quality time with my lovely nephew finley, and nowhere near enough time with my other lovely niece imogen. I have also seen the older members of my family- but they are not as engaging, not as easily pleased by my lame jokes and silly faces.
If you are ever in london, go to 150 hoxton street, cooke's i think it's called. It's a traditional pie and mash shop, if you go, get the liqua! and then cut open pie, add chilli vinegar, and eat!
Food wise i went to a lovely lovely restaurant in North Wales, near Abergele, it was very delicious, we shared a wood pigeon and a chicken and ham terrine for starters, then we shared (ish) a monkfish dish, and roast duck, then for pudding we shared (not even ish) blackcurrant bakewell tart with tonka berry ice cream (very special).
Mr saucy squirrel is to be fleeing the hot summer of our coerced in unitedness kingdom, and heading to the isle of Gozo, 8 miles long 4 miles wide, with 22 churches. Cooking for a yoga retreat, which is every other week, Mr Saucy Squirrel is going aquatic...
