The “fitted carpet”, the “paving slab”, “bathroom tiles” and “crazy paving”. Can you guess what the culinary topic was that demanded I conduct this analysis? The Kitchen Cabinet on @BBCRadio4 today at 10:30 and then on catch-up and podcast etc. #bbctkc

Roll up, roll up! Our Festival of Stuff Extravaganza @of_Making is taking place on Sat 21st Jun, 1-5pm. Free & open to all, whatever the weather. From hovercraft and hot air balloons to DIY screen printing and paddling pools of pizza dough. Roll up your sleeves and dive in!
