I enjoyed this quote, “All writers walk around in a huff thinking their work deserves more respect” - it says a lot about expectations and personal views of reality (otherwise known as perception). Of course, it has nothing to do with reality...

More pig stories, please. Those are a joy to read...in fact, maybe you should write a book about you and the piggy adventures. And as you can imagine, I'm sure you will walk around thinking it deserves a lot of respect...and it will from at least one reader!

Had to look up 'Mangalitza' -- Sir Tony hails from Hungary, the only pig with curly hair, and they can be blonde or ginger-colored red. Maybe you wrote about this and I missed it. I really feel for you about the ghastly wood lorries, the pox on them. Hope you'll have your peace and quiet back soon.

Hi Ben! Lovely day here today, so much like Spring, full of hope! I was wondering if you'd tried doing this with you onion and garlic skins. It stores easily, is full of goodness and tastes great. https://recipes.wonkybox.nz/recipes/onion-garlic-seasoning

I dry mine in a stainless steel colander on the woodburner. I won't give EDF the pleasure of using my oven unnecessarily!

I think I will definitely try that. I don't really like dried onion flakes, but this looks much better - and tastier
