That could be the problem, I mixed sugar afterwards and ended up with a mud of suspended grounds that would not settle.
Having enjoyed a wonderful Turkish coffee in a Turkish restaurant in London I decided to make some myself. I bought the fine ground coffee and a cezve I made what turned out to be an unappetising mud! What's the secret of making Turkish Coffee?
Cragside in wet grey weather has a special kind of beauty.
I'm a bit puzzled by "working age" being classed as 16-64. Is that an admission that a very large proportion of those between 64 and the state pension age (66 increasing to 68) are actually unable to continue in employment?
Parkland, Gothic tower, lovely views and good walking. No dogs, cycles or vehicles are allowed in the park.
I had to go to a supermarket in Alnwick, but the weather was so nice I decided to go for a walk first. As I only had trainers on I decided walk in Hulne park, as most of the tracks are paved.
The walk starts out with some fine views across the valley.

The paved tracks make this an easy walk, and most of it is easily accessible, though further on there are gravel covered roads and some potholes, meaning it would be difficult for wheel chair users to go the whole distance.
I had a car insurance renewal quote that had a 110% increase since last year. That's more than doubled with no claims, accidents, or points.
I went to a comparison site and found one that was 'only' a 50% increase on last year. Insurance prices are ridiculous!
Traditionally automatics were much less efficient, giving a significant power loss and substantially worse MPG. In the UK with smaller cars with smaller engines and expensive petrol this was a much bigger disadvantage than in the USA.
However modern automatic gears have improved so it's not longer a big disadvantage.
Are we limited to two images in a post? It didn't seem to let me add more after this.
I'm from Northumberland in the UK and I like hiking. Here are some pictures from a short walk in the grounds of Cragside
