Your newsletter have developed so well Mark, with the thread of the story, your photography and your cooking and recipe development. You have such a great opportunity coming up with the writing retreat, you’ll be launching into next level. It been wonderful to follow along from afar.
I love watching how this beautiful writing is unfolding. I am so excited for you (and bread and butter pudding). You are going to have the best time at the weekend with Mark, I bet the food will be epic!
Super envious of the upcoming workshop. It is over 10 years since I attended a day workshop at the Garden Museum in Vauxhall - it must have been early days for the Diacono/Henry double act. My word, you will be pushed and prodded and challenged but no better folk to do all of the above to you. You will learn, laugh, quite possibly cry too! A huge step on the writing journey. Cannot wait to read about it. Now, to bread and butter pud!!
Ahhh I didn’t know you’ve attended one of their session before!! 🤩
Well if that isn’t a glowing testimony of what to expect, then I don’t know what is. You could probably bet money I’ll cry 😅 inspiring stuff hits me deeply in the feels.
I’m lucky enough to call Mark a friend, living in the same town and sharing a favourite coffee watering hole, so I’m excited to be spending some quality time gleaning his infinite wisdom!
We’ve only met Mark a couple of times but he feels like a friend, always generous with his support and encouragement. Perhaps I need to add a cycle to Devon to my list.
I had meant to add Devon to my ‘big cycle’, perhaps visit my old school … but the timings didn’t work and other plans emerged. Which leaves Devon for another adventure!!

Thanks so much, lovely one! Honestly means a lot to have your support 🫶
Lordy Mark! I’m going to be fat as a bacon pig with all this. Xx
Hahaha - it’s well worth it, JP! Those blondies were *chef’s kiss*!
Your bread pudding looks AMAZING--and those mini egg blondies have my name all over them!
Thank you, lovely one! You definitely have to get all up in those blondies - they’re so good!
That brioche and butter pudding looks delish!
Also, I love that you used golden caster sugar in your blondies. I think it makes a big difference flavour wise. Your Easter guests were lucky beans 😊
Thank you Shell! 😊 Ooo yeah, I think definitely worked well with the Milkybar chocolate… almost, dare I say, almost Caramac tasting!
Love a Caramac!
Really love bread pudding
It’s just the best, isn’t it 😊 Such a comforting dessert

Thank you, lovely one :) I literally cannot wait! Looking forward to feeding back all the wondrous knowledge 😊
There is not much finer than a good bread and butter pudding and that really looks special!
Thank you, Mr D 😊 It’s soul food, isn’t it.

I mean it’s a bit hilly round here but some beautiful ride nevertheless!

Totally envious about that writing weekend you’re attending! That sounds wonderful! And what a decadent brioche and butter pudding - yummmm!
I am feeling UBER lucky to be going - think it’s just the thing I need to level up.
And thank you!! Definitely worth giving that pudding a go - it’s so easy to throw together 😊
Looking at that first picture I initially thought it was chocolate and brioche. Now that would be naughty.
I mean, we can totally pretend it’s chocolate if it ups the score 😂
Sorted, 11 out of 10.
🥳
