To be honest, the earlier episodes of the 2009 series of Masterchef have been of variable quality – and variable interest! The first few weeks were, sadly, a bit predictable. Whilst they’ve tried to mix up the formula from earlier years, it’s resulted in a little too much of a production line feel:

No trouble at t’mill. Just a grey day – we abandoned our plan to go further afield, and just popped up the road to Redbounbury Mill. Some nice bread, a bag of flour and a wholemeal apple pie slice later…

48/365 Love
Minor op this morning so not up to much – and will be indoors pics only for the next couple of [...]

At the Watercress Wildlife Association reserve in St Albans. This was the first time I’d taken my tripod and just sat quietly in the hide and waited for a shot or two!
You can see at least seven goldfinches. And there were two more round the other side where you can just see a wingtip poking [...]
