My epic read in the sunshine, sat on the marina.

Chai tea is a dream when made fresh.

I am fortunate enough to share fresh chai tea with a lady who makes me it,in her home.

My church

Hello and welcome back

It's been a busy week here

However I have picked up some lovelies 

along the way

22/06/14 Sunday night

My garden heading into night time

A lovely Belfast sink which was in my old kitchen

A tatty and old shabby chic bench which bizarrely was inside the house when I moved in

Put to a much better use for all my lovely flowers I have grown.

Soon to have some chic cushions along side the flowers for great summer reads in the sunshine

A French garden set with my wonderful Cath Kidston parasol 

Mondays dinner 

Spiced spatchcock of chicken with mint & 

pomegranate roast new potato 

Some lovely designer "shabby chic" crockery I bought today 

My colourful dinning room in the back ground an image I took

in Barcelona whilst biking with my Vintage City bike along the sea front.

I made a new side dish.... Pomegranate (which went in for the last five mins) served with mint 

and buttered roast new potato it was really nice with the hot chicken and pepper and salt on the

 potato

These taken in my garden today

My Prada inspired dress

I painted the back of the house

With a stunning pop of colour for that Mediterranean look.

Some people say they do these things and actually don't in fact I picked it myself and painted it also 

It looks great!

First pickings from our beautiful garden

We grow so much it's lovely
