Ooh lockdown! We're now into the fifth week of this in the UK and it goes without saying that it is an odd time. I know we're safe here, tucked up at home.

I made these last week in preparation for our trip to Japan, because apparently you have to supply your own little towels for drying your hands when you use a public toilet. Unfortunately the trip is now off due to ... Read the Post...
