Blogiversary season begins!!

by Gillian Polack

I promised a new picture for my blog. Someone (who shall remain nameless) was tired of my moustache cup jokes.

I have some really lovely pictures of dried fruit, courtesy the amazingly talented Trudi (I’ve had them for a while, but there were uploading hiccups) and shall introduce them gradually over the next few months, but today I’m giving you a photo that is as uncheerful as I could manage (I’m perfectly happy, in case you were worried, but I do love this statue). It has no relation to food history, but fits what I’m doing this weekend.

The statue bears no relation to what’s happening on this blog over the next few weeks, either. As I promised, there will be giveaways – not quite the ones I promised, because none of you expressed an enthusiasm for one element above another, so I’ll offer you the one I feel like on a given day. You won’t know what is coming, basically (the price of being silent) or if the next one will be bigger and more exciting than the last. They’re all cool, and if you want to put yourself down for more than one gift, feel free – I’ll post them all at the end of the anniversary-celebration period and all that will happen is you’ll get a bigger parcel if you win more than one item.

I have a little free calendar (I love firms that offer freebies like this!) so that everyone can have something. At the end of the prize season, everyone who has put their name in and given me a valid email will get a copy, so that no-one misses out completely.

The best thing of all? I have some guest posts for you. Also, I’ve been doing a little research, so we’re back to meatier posts, in between the guest posts and the giveaways. October and November are going to be fun!!

    The other pathway to knowledge would seem less amenable to logical processes. There are times when we simply 'know' something. Psychology has tried to tell us it's because much of our input is [...]
