Especially when other foods, like hotdogs and chips, remain tax free. Not quite encouraging healthy eating, is it?
That’s why we’ve set up a petition on the Prime Minister’s website to tell the government that they could help more people get to their five a day by removing this daft tax. To sign up go to

]]>It’s called ‘The Moonlight Chronicles’ and is written by a man called Daniel Price. Subtitled ‘A Wandering Artist’s Journal’ (mainly because that’s what it is), the author writes about the details of his life — trips to the mountains, the first day of summer, hanging out with his kids, mowing the lawn, and he sketches things along the way.
What you’re left with is a sense that life is made up of great moments, both big and small, and the only way to really capture them is to note them down, draw little pictures of them and build a little low-key journal of your life. It’s really beautiful in a lo-fi, slightly untouched by progress kind of way.
I think Mr Price lives a life that we’d all quite like to live — the all-natural version of Jack Kerouac, but with a family and self-built writing shack to come home to. He’s one of the good guys.

(We got our Le Jardin d’Elen rose syrup from la Fromagerie, a posh London cheese shop. But you can get rose water in supermarkets, in the aisle with the glace cherries and baking ingredients.)
