This unusual sloe berry yogurt cake is dairy-free, easy to make and simply delicious! If you take a stroll in the country at this time of the year, you probably pass by bushes full of large blue-black fruits: sloes! Sloes are an astringent fruit when eaten raw but they're delicious in jams and cakes!

"Into the Blue Wood" Lists are being made, and lost, and rewritten. Things I might do, should do, want to do. Probably it's the "mights" that should be focused on. All of the unknowns are piling up this week, the maybes. It's hard to think of how to move forward....
