Yesterday I spent a sunny day out of the office at Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire. It felt very seasonal with rows of pumpkins lined up ready for the kid’s halfterm carving workshops. And with the basement of the Manor set up to replicate the World War II period, it was also pretty interesting taking a trip back in time.
This week, with a little help from Nigel Slater, I’ll be eating…
I wish it wasn’t Monday tomorrow.
A sunny trip to the corner shop and a banana cake in the oven. All in all a very productive and feel good start to my Saturday.
Home in Bath with memories of a cosy day at Daylesford Organic Farm. My 3 favourite girls and I spent a couple of hours taking in the beautifully landscaped farm and perusing the amazing variety of organic produce. After a very tasty lunch, we returned to the farm shop and filled our baskets with Christmas goodies. Deep in the Gloucestershire countryside, it’s certainly a truly lovely place to spend a truly lovely day.
I found this quote on another blog and had to share it.
Home and dry after a rainy 48 hours in Paris. We spent the weekend enjoying the hustle and bustle of St Germain and Le Marais and lifted damp spirits with pastries, crêpes and cocktails. Short but sweet, sodden but memorable, it was fun getting to know Paris.
First things first…a trip to Paris just wouldn’t be a trip to Paris without one of these!
What a morning to observe the city rise and shine. Early morning tracks were still visible in the glistening dew and silhouetted chimneys slowly transformed into majestic Georgian terraces. Beautiful.
