Sorry, I should have said

I can recommend you go to the nearest Spar to where your sit is and check out the myriad of Norn Irish bakeries’ selling tray bakes and cakes (which any Spar has!), and then compare them, you could do a tour of Ireland comparing their styles!

Im not sure glacĂ© cherries are real cherries tbh. I think they are just sugar and food colouring with no healthy properties! If you don’t have a nut allergy, walnuts are a good substitute.

Look up “The Horse Whisperer”. I kind of had a similar thought about Robert Redford; pretty sure I’ve not seen most of his films. I just watched this one; it’s sweet and kind of slow moving like a big ol’ prairie river, but I enjoyed it. There is some gorgeous scenery. Think I will also look for Butch Cassidy.

Currently bingeing “Top Gear”
 I am not a car enthusiast but I would watch those three legends read the phone book. Their travel specials are in equal parts amazing and hilarious. Some of their antics are laugh-till-you-cry outrageous. Where have they been all my life??, I had no idea this show existed till this year. Since I do not have any streaming services, I’m looking up all I can find on Youtube.

That looks interesting too. “Some day when life is different” I may get one of those services and catch up on shows.

“The Chosen”, now up to season 5 which was recently released. All episodes are available free through their website (you do have to sign in).
A really beautifully made interpretation of the life of Jesus & his disciples, which I will contend you do not have to be a “believer” to enjoy.

Season 3 of Dark Winds, a sequential police procedural set on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico in the 1970s. Good enough that I’m watching the 3rd season.

But the item making this worth mentioning is an uncredited appearance by Robert Redford as a chess player locked up in the Navajo jail. This episode first played in March 2025 - I’m guessing this was his last acting gig. He is credited as an Executive Producer of the show.

And not currently watching, but I’ve watched over and over and over again - Fawlty Towers. Posting this because Prunella Scales, who played Basil’s long suffering and shrewish wife (although she had every right to be shrewish married to Basil) died last week.

I have just finished watching The Beast in Me on Netflix, it was very good and definitely worth a watch!

The plot surrounds a famous author is pulled into a twisted mind game with her rich, powerful new neighbour — who might be a murderer.

We’re happily juggling a little lineup at the moment — “Blue Lights”, “Malpractice”, “Tulsa King”, “The Asset” and “Slow Horses”. It all depends on the mood
 and whatever brain cells have survived a day of pet-sitting mischief, mayhem and mutts.

And when we truly can’t be bothered to follow a plot? It’s straight over to “Escape to the Country”. Instant exhale.

I’m currently enjoying the mystery thriller All Her Fault on Sky Atlantic.

When Marissa arrives at a house to collect her son, Milo, from a playdate with a new friend, she is horrified to discover the woman who answers the door is someone she doesn’t recognise. She also doesn’t have Milo and claims to have never heard of him.
