Yesterday we booked flights to Japan for next September and I'm so excited!
These 20 pictures are mostly from trips 1 and 2, and show some of the amazing Japanese food and drink we enjoyed on those holidays.

Ate so much for lunch at Asador 44 for my birthday lunch (yes it's tomorrow but close enough) that my belly feels stretched like a balloon about to burst.
I regret nothing.
Now chilling in the Parador!

Rather enjoyed this cooked breakfast for Sunday lunch today but would have preferred a slice of fried bread instead of toast. And some blood pudding. And more mushrooms. They were very tasty sausages and bacon. I chose tinned toms over beans but I'm happy with either. What would you change?

Colleagues bought me a Williams pear tree for my 50th birthday a corps of years ago, which we planted out in the garden. Pete's just brought in these two pears, the first fruits the tree has borne! Hopefully will ripen that little bit more on the next day or two.

Went blackberry picking along our (very long) driveway when I finished work this afternoon. Nice to get outside (in very bad at this) and the temperature was so much more bearable than yesterday. Picked loads and had them with cream and a little sugar / sweetener (Pete / me).

Next up from the Y Bwyty Bach feast on Friday:
Dry aged lamb rump, a rich jus with salsa verde through it, black garlic ketchup, courgette, goats curd and a puree that I think was courgette with maybe mint added? Every element superb and surprisingly harmonious!

More from our tasting menu at Y Bwyty Bach on Friday:
Course 2 was fried chicken with fermented chilli and miso mayos. Super tender meat inside a fabulously crunchy coating.
Next, homemade sourdough, served warm, with Marmite butter and sea salt. Beautiful!

Why are people who own washing machines and other excellent appliances so proud that they don't own a microwave? 😲 I understand those who say they have no space, or other practical limitations, but some have no reason beyond "not proper cooking".
