We broke the Emma Bridgewater penguin mug. Everyone was upset about it. We've turned that misfortune into an opportunity:

Please tell me you've watched the Two Fat Ladies!
I read Clarissa Dickson Wright's excellent book Spilling The Beans and I loved it. The second I put it down I ordered up the Two Fat Ladies television series.
It's not just that it's funny and brings us to all corners of England, there are also some really excellent recipes to be had. I can't believe I had never viewed it before.
My spring cupboard is looking minimal with bits of bright saturated colour:
Minimal: denim and a Perfect Fit Tee Shirt in "sweet vanilla". |
JCrew silk twill blouse 2007. |
JCrew sweater coat in golden yellow, 2007. JCrew blouse "Sanibel", also 2007. |
I do appreciate shades of apricot and yellow, how about you?
Woven pillow in the living room: shades of apricot, yellow and blue. |
Lemon bath soap, sourced on the cheap at Homesense. |
I think they are a nice surprise. I find they look like little soldiers in among the Liberty print cushions.
Are you busy these days? I'll tell you what we're up to: travelling across the country to see the new light of our life, our baby nephew. It's true. That kid brother of mine finally had a baby and there is much joy in the family. I hope to be back with a colour story before we jet off, it will involve yellow, blue, green, and happy prints... !
Be well and have fun,
