Back home & baking💕

A walk in the sunshine with was the perfect answer to jet lag & dancing California Poppies a perfect welcome home.

Moody sky leaving Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 yesterday - I brought the sun with me & it seemed I was taking it with me as I left - sorry!

🍸Last G&T of my trip was with this very tasty, cardamom forward, spicy gin from
- which I was then delighted to find in Heathrow’s duty free on my way home!😃

☀️I brought the Cali sunshine with me to Wales so after a day at Rest Bay, Porthcawl what to drink but a pint of Tiny Rebel’s Cali Ale!🍻

The best cocktails are the ones with those you love💕

An afternoon mooching in the insanely cute county town of Lewes.

This batch was voted “best sundried tomato sourdough ever”🍅 & it certainly looked pretty as part of our picnic.
Sorry you missed out on it - next time.

When you know, you know.
29 years ago we knew we knew & we still do🥰

Something about this place…

They may not be bare but they are happy feet🦶🏼

Breakfast of champions!
In this case, breakfast of a fabulous girl off to take her SAT this morning🥰

Nasturtiums at dusk

🌱First to sprout…
…arugula!🌱

I do still make earrings & these Multi Gem Long Drops (a little fuzzy because I used portrait mode😬) feel Spring-perfect & go with everything! You can treat yourself to these, in long or shorter lengths or browse a selection of other styles at ♻️Woodland Hills.
And while your there don’t forget to fill up with sustainable, earth friendly, low waste refills; hand, dish or laundry soap which we can fragrance to suit your mood, a selection of hair & body products… bring your empty bottles!
Be good to yourself & the planet!

Happy with those holes😊

Time to start some seeds🌱
🥚Egg shells are perfect little starter pots, I can write the seed name on each shell & when I’m ready to plant them out I just crack the shell & plant the whole thing!
🥚For my Girls eggs I use cardboard cartons but I hold onto a couple of these plastic ones as they’e good for camping trips & make great mini greenhouses!

Lemon blossom on the way🍋

An Old Fashioned Friday night🥃

This gave me great pleasure yesterday🍊
Cuff available on my website.

Last weekend’s planting included the natives, California wild rose on a slope near the chicken coop, prostrate black sage near the path plus 2 pink grapefruit seedlings started for me from seed by my neighbor, being moved out to the sunny spot where my Italian lemons developed so well🍋

Honestly, the perfect snack!
A boiled egg:
🥚A little nutritional powerhouse with 7g protein, 5g fat, only 75 calories & if you watch your carbs, zero!
🥚Plus iron, vitamins, minerals & disease-fighting anti-aging carotenoids.
🥚All in its own easy-open, compostable packaging!
🥚And from organically fed, happy hens they taste SO GOOD!!

🥚Such an eggcellent day for a birthday!
🥚If your birthday is today I just know it’s going to be eggtra eggcellent!

Sun Dried Tomato Sourdough 🍅

A home for one of my homegrown Italian lemon trees🍋
🍋I’ve been nurturing these lemon trees (I have 3) since I discovered their seeds germinating inside a beautiful Italian lemon given to me when I was supporting .schuh on a photo shoot almost 3 years ago.🌱 I popped them into a pot near my front door &… 3 years later they are big enough to go in the ground. First one has found it’s home.
🍋I don’t know exactly what variety they are but they so reminded me of the first lemons I ever really tasted; incredible, large, fragrant fruit growing in terraces above the Amalfi Coast, Italy. I was 6, at the most magical wedding & I wore a gardenia in my hair🥰

Thursday night bake, for Friday morning bread!

🌿Guess who went to the Plant Sale?🪴

Sadly we had a passing in the coop: Dirty Girty, one of my 8 yr old OG Girls🐓 left us last night.
Girty was a gentle member of the flock, never “ruling the roost” or fighting with the newbies but quietly producing a beautiful brown egg almost daily! She liked her food & once her laying years were over continued to eat with gusto, first to the treats & oh she did enjoy the Christmas Brussel Sprout tree! A year ago this resulted in a trip to our vet & her rechristening Greedy Girty! Since then she was slower to get up in the morning & often needed help onto the roost at night, a stately OG.
Goodbye Gorgeous Girty🐓
