pples and cinnamon, the two best cooking smells in the world I reckon. There's nothing that makes my home feel cosier than the scent of the two baking away in an oven. And to top that? Maaaaybe a big old giant pancake. Specifically, a looks-so-good-it-can't-be-simple Dutch Baby pancake. Why not? It's the weekend. The wishy washy weather outside makes me feel like the leaves will start to turn ... Read the Post

Our Flat Renovation | The New Kitchen
his is a long overdue renovation update, but here we go, a year later, I can finally show you what the new kitchen looks like. The last update I made was this sneaky peek in the new year 8 months ago. Since then, we have finished the back garden, repaired the front windows, installed shutters, replaced the old back door, painted the side patio decking, and oh yeah, made the spare room a guest ...

I suddenly feel the need to watch back to back ... Read the Post
Night at the Museum | Hokusai
ast year was such a write off with home renovations taking over our lives (and sanity) that 8 months on, I'm still finding it a novelty that we can go out and do something fun that doesn't involve building work or fixtures or...dirt. My husband has always loved the famous Great Wave print by Katsushika Hokusai and set about getting us tickets to the special exhibition at the British Museum. It was ... Read the Post
Dad’s birthday & Sunbury & Dogs
t was my Dad's 70th birthday over the weekend. Not everyone is here at the moment, so to celebrate for now, we had a small party for the weekend. The last time my sister Amelia and I put a birthday surprise together for my Dad was for his 50th- it involved hiding an apple pie in my bedroom for 2 days, French onion soup (though neither of us had ever made French onion soup) and turning off the ...
