Pro Chicken
This post is about both live chickens and chicken to eat. I don’t want to spoil anyone’s lunch, so thought it best to mention in case this could cause upset. This weekend we will be serving only free range eggs and chicken. It’s a complicated decision, based mostly on...
Keeping up Appearances
Today, only 4 days away from the great Leamington Food festival, we have been engaged in cooking and creation. Not creation on the great-circle-of-life scale or creation for which we can take any credit, but it happened here, at Jabberwocky HQ, and that is what makes...
Green Credentials
When we first brought the van into our lives we spent many happy hours sifting through the remains of the business that had gone before us and rearranging our house to accommodate all of our new possessions. Mostly, our new possessions were cups. These cups were...

Bottle Green
In the world of fabric things are done differently to the solid, mechanical world of automotive paint. I will say this in their favour though, they are not nearly as flowery and new-age as wall paint. The Beast, long may it thunder, is bedecked in deep Brunswick...
Being on the Radio, Darling
This, of course, makes one famous and requires that one is referred to as "your highness" or "yes, shut up about it now". In short, one is now far too famous for the frivolous activities of the mortal world and will endeavour to reach a higher plane of existence by,...
Foraging for Jam
On Monday, largely because the weather did not appear to be getting any better, we decided to make the most of grey skies over Leamington and go foraging. Within the foraging community there is an unwritten code of secrecy regarding foraging spots; what with the web...
