Not in this household.
It's being promoted quite heavily on the BBC TV and radio though.
Mainland Europe seem to be mad for it, although how Australia qualifies for it is anyone's guess.

Or Israel ??

Off to AgeUK soon

a client who wants to get into photography

I got volunteered as I was the only volunteer that knows their way around a camera properly
i.e. I know the terms

not sure that will be enough but he had been told that this is just a "lets see how it goes" session

should be interesting anyway - partly because I keep intending to get back into the "photo a day" thing

Ive put this on the "days wildlife" section but wanted to share it here.
We have had a pair of Goldcrests visiting. Keep in mind this is the town of Warrington.
This one visited earlier this morning.......

We have a pair too. No pics I'm afraid. A long way north for them, never seen them here before.

Just been to Aldi. Have you seen the price of olive oil :eek: ......over £6.for a standard bottle!!!
I believe its because of the wars in middle east and ukraine.
Edit
Google tells me its because of rising temperatures in Spain and other producing countries which is damaging crops.

It's been a very high price for a long time now - in fact the price has started coming down, lately.

Mrs SD just bought a litre of extra virgin for £6.49 from our local Aldi. Previously it was £7.99.
