  • A nice Sunday morning

    Yesterday morning we got up early and decided to go to the flea market on a photo mission. This is one of the places of my childhood and teenage life. Every weekend we’d walk up here or catch the bus. And then walk home along the shoreline – along sandy beaches and rocky outcrops. Then…

  • Tamarillo toast

    Inspired for the Breakfast Sunday group. Can you imagine how boring it would be if I just posted the same breakfast every Sunday? Muesli, oat milk, tea. That would actually be quite funny come to think of it !! Anyway, I decided to invent a pretty breakfast this Sunday. Tamarillo on toast. It was actually…

  • Sunday Breakfast

    Shula’s set up a new group on flickr called Breakfast Sunday which I think is a lovely idea as it provides one with a good assignment every week. In my mind similar to Vessel Wednesday. Yay! So here’s what I had – as usual – nut free muesli from Harvest with oat milk and sliced…

  • Saturday dinner

    Following KarenP‘s request to see some finished items – here we go. Butternut squash and sausage casserole In your lovely new Habitat pan, brown an onion and some par-boiled butternut squash. Add in sliced sausage (we used good frankfurters), cumin and a dash of chilli flakes. In the last couple of minutes add in sliced…

  • Delivered

    Today’s vege box; we got the medium size just to see what it was like as we could have done with more fruit last week. Looks like cauliflower will be on the menu and I think I see a pear cake on the horizon. Must get some walnuts for rocket salad with parmesan and pears.…

  • Week of the kitchen

    { This is my fave photo of the week – the lovely delicate french glasses we use for wine } Following the delivery of our wonderful organic vege box I am pleased to announce the quality of cooking and eating in the house has gone through the roof – it’s really inspiring being given a…

  • Time travel + zips

    Thanks everybody for helping me decide on the font for Little Orchard. The final logo design will be announced in the next few weeks! Today’s Vessel Wednesday photo is of the old milk and cream bottles I happily discovered on a bit of a nostalgia trip last Saturday. They’re joined, on our kitchen table, by…

  • Kaffee Klatsch + pumpkin seed pesto.

    Every day now at three o’clock I quietly sit down and have a cup of coffee. It’s a wonderful oasis in the day. Time to quietly choose which cup I’ll use, whether the tablecloth needs changing and to see if we’ve got any yummy biscuits or cake! Note to self: bake a cake. The kitchen…

  • Yet more afternoon tea

    Today I decided to make Boysenberry muffins. My way. And gosh, they were absolutely the best muffins we have ever tasted!!! The rest are going off to mum and dad’s this evening for dessert. A slightly odd thing to have for pudding, but I suppose it’s pretty much cake. Isn’t it? And it’s the world…

  • Afternoon tea and Astrid’s music dvd

    { : May 8th, recipe added at bottom of the post : } Made afternoon tea today. Tammy was coming around for coffee at three, and while I was scraping wallpaper Kevin kept on asking me when I was going to bake a cake or make the easter eggs. Hmm. It was 2:30 when I…

  • Gypsea delicious

    Hmm. I believe I do not know how to spell gypsy. Ah gypsy. Not gypsea. Tonight we took Astrid out to the Gypsy Tea Rooms and got rather merrily happy on rosé – suitably called ‘wooing tree’. Polly was certainly wooing after two glasses. Or did we have three? Astrid had a lovely time all…

  • In between the Nervous and Endocrine systems

    Oh god I am really getting over study. It’s been a month now of it full time. I promised Kevin I wouldn’t get distracted today, which I haven’t really. It simply takes a whole day to do one system. And unfortunately I don’t have enough days left to get them all done so I am…
