Baking day. Cookies and focaccia.

A round wire rack with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies cooling on it

An uncooked decorated focaccia ready for the oven. It's in a square metal tin and is decorated with rosemary stalks, beetroot slices, tomatoes and olives arranged to look like a floral scene.

The beautiful Northumbrian coast 😍

A ruined castle in the distance with the sea to the right and grass to the left and in front

A rock pool with lots of yellows, greens and browns

A little trip down memory lane.

The Radcliffe Camera in Oxford. An ornate round stone building with lots of tourists around it. Old buildings in the background.

The Sheldonian Theatre. An ornate horseshoe-shaped building with a little white dome on top and people milling around in front of it.

The Natural History Museum in Oxford. A sandy-coloured building with fancy windows and a central tower.

Hartland House at Saint Anne's College, Oxford. A stone building with sections of different sizes. A parched lawn is in front surrounded by red and white bunting, and circular wooden tables are to the left in the foreground.

A sunny Sunday stroll around town.

Found a frame for my latest pastel from art class. The Ring of Brodgar, Orkney 🎨 #Pastel #DryPastel #StandingStones #Orkney #Art

Pastel image of a series of standing stones curling away from the right side in the foreground to the left in the background. Their shadows fall across a path trodden into the green grass that runs in front of them, to the left of which the grass and plants are a mix of browns and reds. In the distance we see a lake, and a dark hill dominates the background behind it. The sky is cloudy, with a mix of purples and pinks, and a light-blue gap in the cloud to the left.

My back is aching just looking at this poor dead tree.

A dead tree with its trunk bent at an almost 90-degree angle to the right against a blue sky and wheat field with noticeably parched grass in the foreground.

I made fudge

Brown mixture in a pan has thickened and is lighter in colour. There is a wooden spoon in it to the right.

The thickened fudge has been poured into a lined square pan to set and has an uneven surface

Made savoury biscuits to have with cheese 😋

Some freshly cooked biscuits on a sheet of kitchen roll. They are golden, round with a crinkled edge, and have fork pricks in the top. There is crispy cheese visibly baked into them.

Walking the fields where I grew up with Hetty the dog.

A dirt track between fields with trees in the distance and a blue sky

Three have left the nest now and this one looks extremely chuffed with the extra legroom 😂
