Just published on the blog: my recipe for Welsh cakes.

I don’t know if this is a controversial statement, but I would say that Welsh cakes are the best of all the British griddlecakes. What do you think?

15 years ago I started up my blog British Food: A History. At this point I was doing my postdoc in the Queller-Strassmann lab in St Louis, Missouri, USA.

An unexpected journey followed. Thanks to everyone for reading, commenting and cooking the recipes!

We can’t survive without bees.
We can’t survive without forests.
We can’t survive without healthy oceans.
We can’t survive without clean rivers.
We can’t survive without fertile soil.

And somehow…
we still act as if humans exist separately from nature.

Visitors always ask why there are so many plates scattered around the garden. That’s why. During droughts wildlife needs a little extra TLC and as you can see, it’s been appreciated.

Denmark, particularly in Copenhagen, has installed floating platforms/islands planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in its harbors and canals.

These create safe urban habitats and sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life.

If you MUST go out during the hot weather wear gloves, carry a parasol and cultivate the acquaintance of tall people so you can walk in their shadow.

Me? I'm indoors.

In Wales I visited the amazing @FelinGanol & bought some of their Hen Gymru heritage flour (more on that later). They're one of the few remaining active watermills in Wales. The water level was too low to see it in action but I did see a full millpond at nearby @YFelinMiller

Feeling hot?
Perhaps you should follow my example and not voluntarily go out of doors between the hours of 9 and 6 from May to September except for attending church services, performing good works and burying the dead.

What if I told you this could be the oldest wooden church in the world? ⛪

Greensted Church, Essex has stood for over 1,000 years and is the only surviving wooden Anglo-Saxon church in England.
