Return to Summerwood again...: June 2011

Diet's not going well so I decided to cheer myself up and list just a few of my favourite things...

obviously I had to start with my beautiful girl Darcy Dolittle

(from here on though they are in no particular order- this is not an exhaustive list)

Wood burning stoves- log fires- home

Cranachan- absolutely the best ever pud- and one of the reasons I will never be slim

Home baked bread- one of the best smells in the world- home baked anything come to think of it...

I just love cooking and food

Marrakech in general (I really need to find a new favourite place in the world) but in particular Les Jardin de la Medina- heaven on earth

Honor Blackman- I wish I had a millionth of her style

By coincidence Honor has ended up next to Sean- they just don't make them like him anymore do they?

The sea shore- who doesn't love the sea shore- the more deserted the better- the ozone, the salt in the air...

I love barn owls- there I have said it - not my favourite bird- he is to come soon- but still beautiful

Allotments make me smile- and so do vegetable gardens

Now this may just be me... but I have a bit of a thing for vintage aprons - frilly ones like these- just so pretty

Again a 50s style thing but this is just gorgeous- one day I will look like this - if I can ever keep to a diet!

Now this little guy is here because he is my favourite colour- pistachio green- well actually pitachios are darker than this so pistachio ice cream green- but now he is here I quite like the car too

My absolute favourite flower is the tiny delicate hardy fuschia above

If pressed I would say pale pink peonies are a close second
and the darker fuschia are pretty gorgeous too- oh okay I just love flowers...

If cranachan is the reason I will never be thin- cookery books are the reason I will never be rich- I have a terrible cookery book habit and have to smuggle them in and hide them.
