Miso orange marinade, my favourite London bars for spring, new playlist unlocked

I’m a walking cliché for having a literal spring in my step. I never feel more British than when I wake up and realise my entire mood is dependent on the weather.

I’ve taken the Mediterranean approach back home and am enjoying 5pm wines. The other day I made pasta at 4.30pm and was drinking a glass of chilled red as fennel melted into orange miso chicken juices. Joy.

As the freckles have returned to my nose and there’s a little more colour in my cheek, my desire to date has been turned up high, which is both positive (the prospect always fun) and negative (the reality always disappointing), but still, we persist.
