Raspberries contain significant amounts of polyphenol antioxidants such as anthocyanin pigments linked to potential health protection against several human diseases. The aggregate fruit structure contributes to its nutritional value, as it increases the proportion of dietary fiber, placing it among plant foods with the highest fiber contents known, up to 20% fiber per total weight. Raspberries are a rich source of vitamin C, with 30 mg per serving of 1 cup (about 50% daily value), manganese (about 60% daily value) and dietary fiber (30% daily value). Contents of B vitamins 1-3, folic acid, magnesium, copper and iron are considerable in raspberries.

Mojito Black & White Quad Fish (176/365)

Somewhat reluctantly I am selling my quad fish board. It just doesn’t get used enough on the small UK waves, where I prefer to ride my magic carpet. Yours for 320 squids. It’s a unique board, custom made by hand, colours chosen by yours truly and a gorgeous resin tint on the rails and underside (pictured). Made in Cornwall.

Nymans Hermes Bicycle, 1930s, Sweden (172/365)

Caroline flew this over from Sweden last week. It belonged to her grandmother and dates back, we think to the 1930s. It’s all assembled again after the flight and perfectly ridable. Caroline will do some restoration, particularly for the rust. It has a little tool cassette under the rack, is single gear but freewhweelable and backpedal to brake.
