The Year Round Nigel Slater Discussion Thread - Part 7

[RainbowZebraWarrior]

Hello all, and welcome to this lovely space for our continued chats.

A bit of background for anyone not familiar with this topic:
The Nigel Slater Christmas Chronicles readalong usually takes place here on Mumsnet between November and February each year - the Christmas Chronicles being a book written by Nigel Slater full of winter recipes and anecdotes - It has been running for a few years, and the contributors collectively decided it would be nice to have it running all year round.

So here it is. It is a place to appreciate all things Nigel-esque. Think seasonal food and recipes, enjoyment of nature, gardening, appreciation of the weather, and sharing of news and small moments of joy. It's a calm, cosy space for gentle chat and merriment so pull up a chair, grab a drink and relax.

A very hearty welcome to friends new and old

N.B. The Christmas Chronicles thread proper will start on 23rd October, ready for the book beginning on 1st November and will be linked to on this thread. We will follow along and comment on the diary-entry style content as it unfolds over the course of the winter.

Checking in so I can find the cosiest corner of Mumsnet when the other thread is full

Parking myself in the corner with a cake and some embroidery.

Shove up, @Bimblesalong , I’ve got my knitting

Great stuff, @HeinousBeaker I'll light us a Nigelly candle. Maybe an imaginary Trudon (they're not as expensive as real Trudons).

Oh I accidentally changed my name. I think I was Celia the banshee on the previous one although that is pretty dated now. A change is as good as a rest and all

Thanks @RainbowZebraWarrior for continued threads, here with a cup of tea and a piece of cake 😊

Popping in from the other thread :)

Are you allowed to say popping, given the eye situation @piscofrisco 😁? (I’ll get my coat).

Checking in with a more season-appropriate name change. Thank you @RainbowZebraWarrior

Late to the thread this year but checking in!
