Sage Green


 




 



SAGE GREEN IS A GREAT ACCENT COLOUR FOR THE COUNTRY
..
It's a soft and subtle colour
working beautifully inside and out
I love it in both in decor and the garden.
I grow sage in my herb garden
and love to cook with it 
as well as using it as a garnish.

Red Summer Delight









I love all the healthy, fresh treats that summer provides ~
sweet juicy fruit picked straight from the tree,
vegie patches bursting with strawberries, rhubarb and crisp vegies ~
packed full of goodness and bursting with flavour!

Herb Love












Herbs are the quintessential plant  
- they look gorgeous, smell even better,
 improve the taste of your food and do you the world of good.
Pick them straight from the garden and add a dash to a dish, 
a touch in tea, a sprig on your roast or a sprinkle in your soup.
The extra flavour in your cooking is well worth the effort.

Food For Thought










Hand picked goodness

 I love the textures, aromas and colours of fresh ingredients.
Eating a rainbow can fill you with goodness :-
the lush, rich colour of strawberries,
the rich sunshine of an orange,
and the rosy red of an apple.

Country Life









 One of the things that attracts me about life in the country
is hanging onto old fashioned traditions,
where you are more self sufficient
and the meals are home cooked and full of home grown goodness.
I love the idea of vegie patches,
fruit orchards, free range chickens
milk and cream straight from the dairy
and home made jam made from hand picked berries.
I also like the idea of a slower paced life
where there's really time to relax and unwind!

A Field of Dreams










Take it outdoors! 

One of the things I love about this time of year is eating outdoors. We like to spend as much time as possible outdoors. There's Sunday brunches on the balcony, barbeques and drinks with friends on the deck, alfresco lunches with the family, picnics in the park and garden parties on the lawn. Spring seems to be all about food and entertaining for us!

Sunday Pleasures







 









Sunday loves include :-
a long sleep in
a leisurely breakfast in bed
{my latest craze is homemade toasted museli}
and a skim through the fun sections of the Sunday papers .
On a perfect Sunday
there's always time to read by the fire with a cup of coffee and
time in the kitchen to bake something yummy for lunch.
I always try to whip through a few of the weekly chores
before a long, hot soak in the tub,
Finishing off a the day
with a movie in bed.
Heaven!
