		<title>A Vegan Thanksgiving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t normally post recipes on here, but someone requested my tofu &#8220;turkey&#8221; instructions via twitter. I originally found this recipe online about 8 years ago and have been adjusting it yearly based on experience. I&#8217;ll apologize to all of the non-American readers who inevitably will question the funny measuring units and temperatures. Tofu Turkey [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sonoma / Mendocino Part II: Sea Ranch &amp; South</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From there, it was further down the coast to the community of Sea Ranch. Laid out in the 1960s by the landscape architect Lawrence Halprin with buildings by architects including Charles Moore and Joseph Esherick, Sea Ranch is a pilgrimage site for San Francisco architects (and architectural tourists).

		<title>Northern California: from Wine Country to Manchester with a bit of Angela Lansbury</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a few months, and in those months I&#8217;ve relocated back from Northwest London to the San Francisco Bay Area. Much of my time in California has been rather uneventful as it has been taken up by things like looking for a place to live and buying household essentials, though there was a recent [...]]]></description>

		<title>WordPress Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing some travelling and wrapping up life in London- as many of you already know I will be back in San Francisco as of mid-February and I have lots of things that need to be finished before I leave.

		<title>FAT Saturday: Thornton Heath Library &amp; The Museum of Croydon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thornton Heath Library Facing a weekend with nothing to do for the first time in ages, yesterday I set off to see the newly refurbished Thornton Heath Library by FAT Architects (or, more formally: Fashion Architecture Taste).

		<title>An Invitation to a New Way of Living: The Modern Motel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Author Alain de Botton is on a mission to convince people that they could live in modern houses. I read his book The Architecture of Happiness last year and wasn&#8217;t particularly impressed.

		<title>Disasterville in the Cotswolds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was looking at the town of Moreton-in-Marsh on Google Maps and discovered this area of strange-looking streets that clearly looks like an airport. It turns out this was a base for Wellington Bombers during World War II, and after the war it was converted into the Fire Service College where fire brigades from around [...]]]></description>
