The latest addition….

21/11/2020 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  8 Comments

Everyone knows about my earring collection – both gathered together over the years and donated  by friends from all over the world. It now adorns lampshades around my living room.

But I am delighted to say that earrings are the gift that goes on giving and I have now moved from friends buying me earrings to them commissioning earrings to be made for me.

The latest addition to the collection has just arrived – from our lovely judge, David Johnstone, celebrating the rebranding of the FreeFrom Food Awards. Created for me by Yak Goes Moo. Aren’t they just great? I am sure Yak Goes Moo would be only too happy to create some more for any super keen judges or sponsors out there….. Just check in to her Insta or Facebook pages – or even email her.

And here I am, testing them out….

However, this is not the first time that I have been the happy recipient of specially designed earrings. A couple of years ago Alex G’s cousin, Mario, turned jeweller and created me the most wonderful pair of farfalle earrings – true works of art. To learn exactly how they were made see my Pasta Jeweller post.

The only question now is – where do I find space on the lampshades for the latest arrivals?….

    Ha ha, I love them! Excellent. I used to have a similar penchant for large earrings but then I lost them all in a house move once. Goodness where they went, but I hope they are enjoying some dangly outings!

    You might need to add a new lamp and shade. And of course, everyone lucky enough to have seen your lampshades…loves em!
    Happy Thanksgiving!

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
