Remembering all those killed in Bondi just because they were Jews. Nevertheless we light out lights trusting that we can continue to light them in safety. We will do so whatever the risk

Here’s the soup I’m making for 26 guests arriving tomorrow. Does it cost a fortune ? No. Is it made with mostly UK grown ingredients? Yes. Why don’t people make this and save money? Probably because children are not learning (nor did their parents) how to make cheap, nutritious meals from natural ingredients

Lentil soup using onions, potatoes, carrots, garlic, celery, some powdered stock (osem) black pepper and the non UK ingredient – red lentils. These are now being grown in the UK and I have grown a very small quantity here some years ago as part of an organic charity’s research project. I also grew some chick peas in the and trial.

Ps don’t tell the guests what they’re having !

And lights at a friend’s house in two of her trees

Viburnum bodnantense ‘Dawn’

Don’t you wish that you had some? (Jewish children’s rhyme)

We will continue to light the candles and hope to dispel the darkness and scourge of centuries of antisemitism
