@iconawrites Having watched & enjoyed the series on Apple TV (I think it has got up to the end of book 2?) I've been considering reading this. Good to hear it is well-written.
@pinhigh99@WillotheGlen@SketchesbyBoze You *can*. I, however often find myself mentally "correcting" the way a line has been said by a narrator, because I don't agree with their reading. Also I don't know if my reading of that line is closer to the authorial intent, so perhaps "muddied" is more accurate than "lost"?
@marlapropism@diamondgeezer Seems it was a precursor to & later a contemporary of (the early days of) the Travelcard, allowing access to rail, Tube & bus around London.
@SlowWaysUK I've also been known to wear my orange raincover on my left arm to make myself more visible to cars when I've ended up somewhere where I've ended up walking on a road & felt in danger.
@SlowWaysUK & no verge. I had to turn back & get to safety. I'm of the opinion that living in London I have easier & safer access to more countryside than many living in more rural areas. Defintely the case if they can't drive & aren't in a public footpath hotspot. 2/2
@passedwonder@SlowWaysUK A friend of mine did that stretch. The locals in the pub laughed when he said he was waiting for the bus & advised that a taxi was the only real option: advice that he took.
@Takaak1M Never tried it myself, but the on-screen team @sortedfood who are all white British have tried it more than once and not got on well with it. Watching their experiences has given me somewhat of an idea at how different it is to the cuisine I'm used to.
Kudos to your wife!
@ElliottBlackwe3 Ooh that's lovely! It's on the only part of the Thames downriver from Oxford that I haven't walked, so I shall have to remedy that & visit this.
@sortedfood My rice pudding from the cook-a-long. I was the Becky cleaning burnt split milk from her stove top that Baz sent sympathy to! Great rice pud, strong in cinnamon & good with the summer fruit I got on quick sale. Just wish the skin was thicker (always the best bit!)
@sortedfood
Here's my savoury beef cobbler from the cook-a-long. Put onion in the beef, cheddar & no spring onion in the cobbler, & was delicious.
Next time I'll use smoked cheese in the dumplings & some Worcester sauce in the beef for some extra flavour.
