It's funny how, if I have my usual Sunday of rising late, reading newspapers and snarking at Gardener's Question Time and the Food Programme, the day seems to fritter itself away very quickly, while if I actually do anything it seems to last much longer. Yesterday, I was up reasonably early to make stew and sort box after box of fabric, then

Today is the actual Guy Fawkes Day, isn't it?
Kenwood sounds lovely and tea in the garden in November! I guess global warming must have some advantages. I would be one of the dog lovers watching all the pretty pups. Cavalier King Charles spaniels are lovely and very sweet dogs.
Someday I'd love to visit Kenwood.

Rude Mushrooms? Now that's a picture I MUST see.
:D

Yes, today is the actual day - the more traditionally-inclined locals have been out letting off bangers all this evening.

I've posted a picture of the mushrooms not.

The rude fungi are perfect ummm..copies.

I'm sure Carolyn got a good laugh out of that, too.
:D

What happened to the rude fungus? I intended to steal it from you to pass on to a few people with like minds (smutty).

I uploaded the pictures but forgot to put them in. I've added them now. Click on them to enlarge (ahem).

Pooh, you didn't get it at the very BEST angle! (But then that's a common problem I'm told)

[pondhopper]

Oh yes...perfect little anatomical copies, aren't they?
:D

What a lovely outing! Thanks for sharing!

I whipped up the muffins you posted a couple weeks back, which were aces. Thanks!

Glad you liked the recipe. It's from a lovely little book called Food as Presents, by Patricial White, long out of print now, probably. Everything I've cooked from it workds - it doesn't seem to have a dud recipe, which is pretty good for any cookbook.

Oh my! They're not only Rude Mushrooms, they're realistic and rude. Awesome.

i wish that museum exhibit you linked to had more pictures, i am all curious now.

Thre are a couple more here, which is where I first saw it, and googling her name turned up lots more of a terrifying previous work of hers called Swarm that featured tiny skeleton faeries. I'm hoping to get more pictures when I go, but they are very small, so it may be difficult. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for her work in future, though.

i've seen some of her work before - i enjoy the creepiness!
