• Today’s bake: Dark Chocolate Nut Squares

  11 July 2025

  I came across this recipe the other day and thought it looked simple but interesting. I’ve now made the recipe version and also made it with the addition of cocoa nibs and pistachios. Both turned out well.

  It is a quick and easy recipe that feels quite luxurious.

  Seen in Hatchlands Park. Reminded me of petals unfurling

• Today’s walk: Summer return to Hatchlands Park

  5 July 2025

  In autumn last year, we visited Hatchlands Park while gathering stamps for Breezy’s Pooch Passport. I noted then that there were:

  hints of a wildflower meadow that promises a return visit come spring

  Well, we didn’t make it back in spring, but we did today. This time, we aimed to explore parts of the estate we hadn’t seen before and found that much of it is now covered in long grasses swaying in the breeze.

  Definitely worth the return visit.
