Quick message to all those making bread at the moment. Keep the water you’ve cooked potatoes or pasta in. It will help the bread’s texture and rise.

As the mother of children who have had to grow up without a father, I’m aware that #fathersday is not always a happy day. If today is a cause for celebration, I wish you much joy. If, for whatever reason, it’s a cause of heartache, I send much love.

Sending so much to those who have been bereaved this year. One of the most infuriating things is when people wish you “a better year next year” as if the person you loved and who died would somehow no longer be dead. And it’s hard anyway to see the calendar turn without them, too
