Ol' Bake-Off Blue Eyes.

To mark the return of the Great British Bake Off today, I thought I'd share a few of the tweets I've posted about the show's striking male judge over the past six years. 

I swear I'm not obsessed. 
Paul Hollywood is as nifty with an oven as he is with a Remington MB4045 Beard Trimmer. #GBBO

You don't want to know what Paul Hollywood keeps in his garage. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood's beard is backlit. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood's eyes can see through walls. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood's hair is the definition of precise. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood despises cufflinks. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood. Yellow shirt. No cufflinks. Cowboy stance. Yes. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood's hair comes off in one piece. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood has a room in his house that's devoted entirely to hair product. #GBBO

Look at Paul Hollywood's chunky watch. He's so manly. #gbbo

Paul Hollywood, rocking his line-dancing stance. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood's hair could cut glass. #GBBO

If Paul Hollywood goes out on a bike he doesn't need to wear a helmet. #SolidHair #GBBO

I bet when Paul Hollywood gets home, he switches on the television, kicks back his feet and puts ON a pair of cufflinks. #gbbo

The cross-hatch of Paul Hollywood's fringe alternates between 'forward'...'up'...'forward'...'up'. #GBBO

If you bought Paul Hollywood a pair of cuff-links for Christmas he'd punch you in the face. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood inspires long-dormant homoerotic urges that I never knew I had. #GBBO


The Mary Rose is constantly sprayed with water to prevent decay. Paul Hollywood's beard trimming regime is similarly relentless. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood's fringe is gently reminiscent of a salt-and-pepper sea smashing against the shore. #GBBO

NOTE TO SELF: must perfect Paul Hollywood's hands-in-pockets, cuffs-rolled-up, steely middle-distance stare. #GBBO

You'd think Paul Hollywood's budget would stretch to a pair of cufflinks. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood oozes liquid masculinity. Not that I've noticed. #GBBO

When Paul Hollywood adopts his hands-in-pockets stance he looks like he's about to do a line-dance. #GBBO

The solidity of Paul Hollywood's hair means he need never wear a hard hat on a building site. #GBBO

Nothing worse than having your nuts all crammed into one area, Paul. #GBBO

Paul's black shirt offsets the salt & pepper beard nicely. #GBBO

Paul Hollywood intimidates me sexually. #GBBO

Not The Bayeux One.

The Carole King album Tapestry has been my 'getting-ready-in-the-morning' soundtrack for the past few weeks.  It's been a favourite album ever since I was a student, which makes for a pleasantly gentle way to usher in the start of a day. I've always been a fan of a well-crafted song, which is something of a Carole King hallmark, ever since she started writing with her first husband in the early Sixties. Tapestry may be an unimaginative choice for a favourite LP, as it suggests I haven't delved that far into her career, but it's still an undoubted classic; anything with '(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman', 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?' and 'You've Got A Friend' on it can't really fail; if nothing else, it proves she likes writing songs with long titles.  Next month, she's set to perform the album live in its entirety for the first time at a gig in Hyde Park, which I would have loved to have gone to, if it weren...

Hitchin is Mine.

As of six o’clock tonight, I take over the Hitchin is Yours Twitter account for a week; a stewardship I’m anxious to get right. I’m proud of my hometown. It’s a great place to live, with so much going for it. I've always sold it to my non-Hitchinite friends; so much so, that a lot have gone on to move here. Any town expansion plans are partly my fault. Feel free to picket outside my house. I love its history and architecture. Take St Mary’s Church, for example. The building is beautiful inside and out, and huge for a town of our size. There has been a place of worship on site since the 7 th Century. Much of the present building dates from the 1300s. You wouldn't get that in America. (Don't forget the British Schools Museum too.)  Hitchin is a hive for creative people and a hub for the arts. It boast two theatres, two comedy clubs, a couple of art galleries, a festival for world music and a thriving music scene. This drew...

'Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream..."

While I’ve been practising meditation for quite some time now, I’ve recently taken to using the mindfulness app 'Headspace' . If you’ve never meditated before, or you’re an old hand at it, it’s a great resource, offering daily ten-minute guided meditations that create a sense of progress, rather than stagnating and going through the same process every day. Until I started using the app, I’d often listen to a handful of audio guided meditations I have on my phone in case of a brain emergency. If you see me with my eyes closed and my earphones in on public transport, I’m probably doing this (unless I’m sleeping and using this blog as an elaborate alibi). While the tracks on my phone are great, they can get a little repetitive as I become too familiar with them and start to anticipate everything the person on the recording will say. This is where Headspace is great, as it offers you a daily course with a different focus each day, as well as pl...
