Growing your own food: The potatoes have survived the snow, which was quite a surprise. We had expected them to be turned into pulpy mush by the freezing conditions, but now we know we can grow them right through the year.
Dairy: Our first yoghurt cheese was a big success – and a bit of an experiment. By making a little more yoghurt than we needed and then straining it through a jelly bag we made a delicious cream cheese.
Review: Tender by Nigel Slater is a beautiful book that takes you from plot to pot with advice on growing your own vegetables and then using them as the main component in your meals, not merely an accompaniment.
Chicken keeping: Eden Project chicken coops go on sale, providing some serious competition for our own Omlet Eglu Cube. They’re 100% recycled and come from one of our favourite charities.
Craft: I’m knitting a scarf and reacquainting myself with needles and wool for the first time since I was a kid. It’s slow going, but we’re getting there.
In the news: What happens when the supermarkets run out of food was the question we were asking ourselves as we read a report from Andrew Simms (who wrote the excellent Tescopoly) in the Guardian revealing that during the 2000 fuel protests the UK had only enough food left in the supply chain to feed the population another nine meals.
