• Dutch Damask Linen link on Etsy—the patterning you see is made of variations in the way the warp and weft interact. It's pretty amazing.

• Henry's Commentaries Matthew Henry (18 October 1662 -- 22 June 1714) was an English Presbyterian minister. Quote re the creation of Eve, in Genesis:
  "the woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved."
• Sloes and Crabs and a recipe for sloe and crabapple jelly! (And Sloe Gin.)
• The Hot crab apple and chilli jelly recipe I mentioned (and here's the one for the cheese)
