  • Chillies

    Why does everything start to come good just as you are about to go away?? Toms are doing really well, courgettes have finally decided to grow, cucumbers are doing well, caterpillars are needing collection every morning and chillies, (sorry for the naff picture.) It has taken two years to grow this plant, (i’m quite chuffed…

  • A week in the wild west

    Last week really was a wild week, first night in the tent there was a thunder storm I can’t remember a better one! Despite the weather being damp and a bit wild we did explore places once visited regularly – especially ‘Pete’s Eats’, the best cafe in North Wales, the occasionally open bakery in Llanrug…

  • Slow Sunday

    Today is slow Sunday, a Resurgence phenomenon. Happily (for those able to go) it coincides with the Resurgence readers weekend – funny that! I’m not one of the lucky ones, instead we are preparing slow food and gearing up to run away to the wilds of the north west (wales.) The literary companion of the…

  • Supper

    In the spirit of freedom food, HFW’s assertion that we should be willing to go through the whole process from beginning to end if we want to eat meat, and the large proportion of animals who die needlessly… … We decided to try a local and very populous animal – the poor roadkill bunny.  It…

  • A weekend of food

    Well it seemed like it anyway! Ironic that we have to travel about 30mins away to go to the farmers market to get meat and eggs which are grown just up the road!! It was worth it though, buffalo sausages, buffalo topside, veg and organic eggs. We got some lovely fresh broad beans, not a…

  • Poor show tesco

    After using Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall’s TV programme during the sermon last week to highlight environment Sunday and sugest what we can do, pointing people towards generous.org.uk and A Rocha. I thought I had better follow up my own advice and become a little more active in the campaign process. I came across Hugh’s current project…

  • High rise

    As we sped from Birmingham towards Gloucester on a strangely round-about route to Cardiff, a solitary high rise block caught my imagination. The High Rise block … … and the calves to match. Food is a crucial commodity, carried to the top, it travels a long way, almost as far as from the shop to…

  • Fairtrade for foodies

    We have just set up a fairtrade stall in the church (at last) but for those of us who need no encouragement when it comes to chocolate items, this is rather a big challenge in self denial, so in solidarity with those who don’t want to eat too much chocolate I decided to help them…

  • Coffee and Waffles

    These I have not seen for some time, about a year in fact, well of only one of the two!! Coffee is a regular feature… It was in fact, essay submission time last year that I had the last ones delicious little snacks. Fr Stephen the squash playing Priest introduced me to them a few…

  • TESCO

    Ok, it’s coming. Tesco is being built, in fact it is about half the size of Holywell itself. So… … After a quick shopping trip in Wrexham and mold – and seeing the delight on the other half’s face as we drove towards the damn store… (Wrexham has a large one two floors of retail…
