Sunday Bliss

Today I have a beautiful relaxing day planned. I am going to nestle in for the morning with my new book, hopefully my husband will bring back some treats from the bakery when he picks up the Sunday papers. So I will indulge in coffee, something sweet and sugary and a bit of literary romance! By the afternoon, I will be ready for some fresh air and exercise so I might go exploring on the bikes with the rest of the family.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend!

Sunday Morning Pleasures

One of life's great pleasures for me is Sunday mornings

I love waking up knowing I don't have to bounce out of bed

and get ready for work.

I love the idea of lazing around

with the Sunday papers 

and an extra special home cooked breakfast.

Strawberry Love

 

 

 

Don't you just love strawberries!

They are so sweet and juicy ~
delicious in jams, pies and tarts,
perfect on their own or with an indulgent scoop of ice-cream
and they make also make prettiest garnish
 for a dessert or home baked cake!

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!

Spring is in the Air!

I love Spring ~

it's full of endless possibilities.

After months of staying warm and cosy indoors -

it's time to burst open the windows and doors and

fill the house with fresh air and sunshine.

It's the time to get outdoors and 

make the most of our beautiful surroundings.

Spring is a celebration of life 

and living life to the fullest!

Girls Get Together

 

 

 

This weekend I am having a girls' get together. 

With everyone's busy schedules we haven't spent quality time together for quite some time so I am going to host a bit of afternoon tea for my best friend's birthday. I will fill the house with spring blossom, serve scented herbal teas in dainty china teacups and treat them all with some gorgeous, sugary confections. I'll make up petite sandwiches and tiny tartlettes to serve up with a glass of champagne or two. I can't guarantee there will be lovely sunny weather but I can guarantee plenty of laughter, chit chat and gossip!
