There’s no doubt about it, trifle is tricky. If it includes booze already do you serve more on the side? And what kind of booze should that be?

Some of the glorious orange wines I wrote about in @guardianfeast this weekend. Deep, rich, amber-hued, more like a red wine than a white, they’re great with middle-eastern and Turkish food as you’ll see if you click on the link in my bio.

Lovely late summer lunch yesterday at one of my favourite London restaurants @brawn49. Pitch-perfect vitello tonnato with wonderfully tender rose veal followed by a fiery southern-Italian style spaghetti with squid. In fact the whole menu has got more Italian: our wine - a deep-coloured Vino di Anna rosato from Sicily - was too.
Sunlight streaming through the windows, endlessly entertaining company from @trevorgulliver and flawless unfussy cooking from owner Ed Wilson who is one of the best chefs in town. What’s not to love? Go!

I have found the ultimate Emergency Kitten. Her name is Shiso aka @shiso_the_cat and she belongs to my pal @signesjohansen and her husband @gomungo. She is just RIDICULOUSLY cute and fluffy - just look at those tufts on her paws 😻
We just sat and gawped at her and talked about her to the exclusion of anything else which is A Good Thing when you think how many shitty things are going on in the world at the moment. Best kitten EVER.

Yesterday’s expedition to @theethicurean to pick up some pottery bowls I’d bought from their kitchen sale (see last shot) turned into a richly rewarding walk round their heavenly garden. September is always a good time to visit because of the orchards but yesterday was particularly stunning. They’re closing in a week for a refurb (exciting news to follow) so take advantage and wander round. Somerset at its best.
