A-door-able 🚪

One of the greatest things about living in London is just walking along the streets past the prettiest pastels and the cutest doors like these. I spotted this door in Richmond - what I would do for those lovely black and white tiles, a pretty pastel coloured door, and a cute little rose bush in the front garden.

Curb appeal 🏡 The perfect little row of houses

Curb appeal 🏡

The perfect little row of houses in Notting Hill. I often wonder when walking in the neighbourhood how they decide on colours. Do the neighbours have to agree on a shade for their house? How often do they have to repaint them? Either way, they’re so pretty - I could quite happily live in one of these!

Shrimply irresistible 🦐

With what feels like the last warm, sunny day of the year, I’m officially waving goodbye to barbecue weather (and summer) today! Here’s one of my absolute favourite dishes from the lovely @restaurante_sargentera in Ibiza. In the pretty little town of San Carlos, you’ll discover the garden terrace with its barbecue. I always get the fresh fish platter and it’s divine!

What’s a dish from overseas that always makes you think of summer?

A new week ✨ Life is all feeling a bit weird no

A new week ✨

Life is all feeling a bit weird now! It all feels quite uncertain without knowing how the coming weeks and months are going to pan out, especially if you’re a planner like me! Trying to stay positive this week and keep it simple by taking each day at a time. Here are some of my simple pleasures which this year has really made me appreciate...

🛁 Long bubble baths with a book
☕️ Coffee in the sun
🌳 Long walks in the countryside
👗 Retail therapy
📱 Long chats on the phone with friends
🍷 Going for a glass of wine
🚗 Planning day trips

What are yours? Let me know in the comments!

Sunday scaries 👻 Anyone else get that creeping

Sunday scaries 👻

Anyone else get that creeping fear looming over them come late Sunday afternoon? How do you try and combat it? I’ve had such a lovely weekend - full of relaxing, gym, and then celebrations for a friend’s 30th birthday. I do find the thought of a busy and stressful week approaching quite hard, but I have a few ways of tackling it. 1) Try and prep anything that will make the coming week easier. 2) Relax - don’t judge me but that will involve an evening with the Kardashians. 3) Have something to look forward to. For me, that’s heading down to Cornwall on Friday, and I can’t wait!

What have you all been up to this weekend?

How do ya like your eggs in the morning? 🥚

I recently stayed in a beautiful cottage in Higher Ashworth in Devon. As well as the prettiest decor, we were gifted with fresh eggs laid on the farm each morning. How pretty are they?! I couldn’t believe we had blue eggs to match the cottage decor. What’s even better, you could open the doors onto the rolling hills to enjoy the view from bed.

What are you all up to today?
