48 slices of bacon cold smoked with Binevenagh mountain turf. Will be gifts along with cold smoked salt. But I always do quality control so bacon for breakfast 😉

Egg banjo bap, brunch on a sunny morning :)

Perfectly pink duck Duck breast, seasoned Marinaded, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar & white wine vinegar Cooked from a cold start stainless steel to 55c internal Rested, sliced Side of kimchi, sliced red onion & chilli on the duck Absolutely delicious 😋

Spent the morning repotting & sowing well over 50 peas. The welcomed warmth of the sun makes everything seem better :)

There is nothing better than turning the TV off & starting a new book without noise...

I have a feeling that we might just get a win today. More heart than head? Whatever the result, I have possibly the finest game snacks known to modern man :) Tayto cheese & onion crisp sandwich & #GuinnessM6N Brennans, Kerrygold & Tayto, perfect #GuinnessM6N

#ProQ cold smoker. 28 x rashers of streaky bacon. 16 x thick & 8 thin pork sausages. 2 x chicken breasts that will be made into jerky. Oak dust, with a few chips of hickory.

Wings done on the cast iron griddle. Wings with a store bought BBQ rub. Hot & mild chillies chopped & sprinkled. A baby pepper, whole. A pink lady apple quartered. Served with a drizzle of black treacle & chopped scallions.

This Haggis will be lucky if it makes it tomorrow (Burns) night if it is not eaten beforehand :) I seriously can't wait...

Oh, the #weather outside is frightful But the indoor electric #bbq is so delightful.. Lamb steaks marinated in olive oil, red wine vinegar, soy & Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Chillies & pickles.

#BBQ - pork, rosti & will be served with sauerkraut. And of course it rained :)

@punsandrosie Best going to Portrush 😀😀

@BC_Tweeting That’s very true. And don’t forget the constant rattle of gunfire from the MOD firing range next door. Most unsettling.

Beautiful light on a glorious winter afternoon and nice to capture Vi in the foreground for a change rather than the much more photogenic diva at the back. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that Heather is 12, and Vi…as a rescue Vi can be any age she wants.

@punsandrosie Shush don't tell the others :) It's always extremely cold with the wind blowing down the fresh water of the Folye - not worth visiting :) :)

@BC_Tweeting It really comes into its own during the summer when everywhere else along the coast is literally crawling with visitors. It does get tiresome when you can get peace nowhere. But here it’s just the skylarks.

BBQ lit, rain started. Not an issue, the small water proof parasol deployed, it works well.

The #snowdrops are starting to flower, #UU #coleraine I check the same spot for consistency each year. The past few years, all in January: 2020 - 15th 2021 - 18th 2022 - 25th 2023 - 19th 2024 - 16th 2025 - 19th

Cloud Iridescence ? @bbcniweather
