I am reliably informed that today is #NationalBiscuitDay.
Here is a 🧵 of all the biscuits I've made so far in 2021.
First up, my William Morris set. Inspired by an old @V_and_A calendar, everything hand-piped in royal icing. Flavour: cardamom, orange & vanilla.

The Smithsonian will fully reopen this summer. Ten museums will reopen between June and August with added health and safety measures. Many will have reduced hours. Visitors will need to reserve free, timed-entry passes for most locations. Full schedule: si.edu/visit
