‘My funny old week’

WHERE I’VE BEEN To visit friends who are downsizing and building an amazing eco-house. It was light – with windows everywhere – and super warm. It will be so efficient. Everything is operated from your phone. Goldfinches found Nancy’s

WHAT I’VE SEEN A family of goldfinches on homemade bird feeder the bird feeder I made from an upside-down plastic bottle and plastic spoons – it’s in my book!

WHO I’VE MET I met Nadiya from Strictly, who danced with Dan Walker. She said you can teach anyone to dance. I’d fall. I tripped over my feet and face-planted the tennis court last summer.

WHAT I’VE BOUGHT Six kilograms of Seville oranges. I make marmalade to last the year.
