The South Downs Way: where East meets West
We were walking Breezy in the Sussex countryside when I looked up at the footpath sign and noticed something different. It didn’t just say South Downs Way, but also “Western Hemisphere” and “Eastern Hemisphere.” We’ve crossed the meridian line many times before, sometimes deliberately, and other times, like this time, without giving it a thought. It was a fun find and led to a quick check of the OS map to get our bearings and make sure we understood what we were seeing.

Today’s bake: Lemon-Pistachio Tahini Cookies
Another bake, another variation on the healthy tahini cookies recipe, and another little bit of help from Claude. I’m really pleased with how they look, and they taste good too.
Key differences to the normal recipe are:
- no chocolate, obvs
- 40g pistachios, roughly chopped
- zest of a lemon
- additional pistachios, again roughly chopped, to sprinkle on the top before baking -
Mushroom color atlas
I came across the Mushroom color atlas in the latest Dense Discovery newsletter.
It shows a beautiful array of colours, all made from dyeing with mushrooms. I had no idea that was even possible. I also would have expected them all to be shades of brown and grey, so I was surprised to see colours like purple or cyan.
What a wonderful resource. It’s got my brain twitching.
