Something I've Been Wanting To Do For Ages

(and More Kondo-ing)

It isn’t that that flat was full of rubbish. Those hoarding programmes make me jittery. I am still going full on with the Kondo method (apart from the socks and thanking my handbag, which will never happen, but I am feeling the joy with it, which is great. Now 28 bags down on ancient papers and donated clothes).

Back to the hare, as they say in the North. No surprise to anyone who has met me, I enjoy my food and I will try almost anything. Ish. I have limits on fish brains and anything really slimy or rotted. However, I cut my historical teeth on immigration to London, which includes associated foods. There are lots of early complaints as soon as written records begin about the ‘stinking’ foods of others, and I was thinking, that a fun thing for 2026 on here, would be to ‘blog’ again, perhaps, as part of this newsletter, the rich immigrant diaspora of London with their related histories? If this is something you would like to hear about, it would be my pleasure to serve it up. I am very far from a food blogger, but I do understand about food, and I do understand about its history in this wonderful city. I’m up to 40 nations of London so far, starting with Afghanistan and ending with Zimbabwe, so hmu if there is one you would like to add into the mix!

Hope your 2026 is off to a good start, whatever you are doing.
