We remain a country of predominantly tolerant, welcoming and generous people. Thank you. ❤️ 4/4

Reminiscing this evening about the worst foods we ate as students, I remembered this recipe for field beans from the Uruhu (a whole food shop in Oxford) cooking guide c 1976. Don’t think I ever actually tried them 🥴

Really looking forward to singing in this concert. Should be amazing!
