Is anyone into melons as much as I am? They’re sweet, juicy, delicious things that make me so happy to devour. I’m excited to try two new varieties - Matisse & Piel de Sapo - as, when I was young, Galia was the only variety I could find. Here’s a cool video about melons! What’s your favourite?
It’s tomato season hooray! Time for some cherry tomato pasta. So good.
Chocolate banana balls. Yummmmmy!
Chocolate bounty balls with this recipe.

Sunset loveliness
Sometimes you’ve just gotta cake 😍
Good to be back at the seaside. Such a lovely air.
Felt like I was in a fairy tale during a visit to Magdalen College, Oxford yesterday.
Meet Charlie. The personification of a scaredey cat. Doesn’t quite trust anyone, but wants to try sometimes. Here in Oxfordshire it’s been 34 degrees for days and days. It’s a love hate relationship with me and this weather. Good for my bones, not so much for my demeanor.
Bees love these blue globe thistles.
Love a hydrangea.
Bit hot isn’t it Mia!?
Little poppet Mia. Always up for a chat.
Felt like I ate a rainbow at lunch today. Utter yumness.
We stayed in a roadside hotel on our way to Cambridge. This morning as we were leaving, a gang of kittens and cats turned up. They must belong to the hotel. Haven’t seen a real life kitten in forever. Safe to say I was giddy with excitement. 😻 😻
Knoops. Always a pleasure. I went for 72% Single origin (Peru). A balance of fruity & bitter notes with hints of caramel & cashew. If you have a Knoops near you, go explore the taste of cacao! 😍 Yuuuum! See you tomorrow. 👋
Been practising my ampersands. They’ve eluded me for years. Think I’ve finally cracked it.
A sweet, shining piece, with some melancholy. I imagine someone leaving home to go on a voyage of learning, self discovery and adventure. Like the hobbits did! Through lush countryside and a valley of birdsong, over green hills and across babbling brooks, this harp journey takes you into your heart.
Yay, Frankie joined us last night for a swim. T’was almost dark before we left. What a grand ol time these evenings have been. So very grateful.
