The UK Cabinet is showing signs of public rift. There is a drip, drip of leaks, of unfavorable comments about or by the Chancellor Philip Hammond. They reflect an ire by hard Brexiteers, reacting against the more cautious approach of a Chancellor, who wants to ensure a minimal impact on the economy. His public response, that matters spoken in the cabinet meetings should not be leaked, immediately resulted in further vitriol from 'an anonymous Cabinet member.
A food report notes that the UK imports 80% of its fresh vegetables and 40% of fresh fruit and that there are no clear UK plans to deal with food safety and supply regulation after leaving the EU.
All in time to show unity for the next round of Brexit negotiations tomorrow.
Our last Open Studio day went well, with the chalk drawings outside being added to by children. I'd made a large meringue last night which was transformed into my first fruit Pavlova. The recipe was the love child of Jamie Oliver and Mary Berry… and was eaten before being photographed. Very tasty. Celebrated with a well earned pub meal with our future in laws.
I was sent a warning about a very slow Windows 10 update and immediately fell victim to it when opening the laptop to write this blog. Aaaaaargh! It is still chuntering away. Had to write this blog on my tablet.
