Last night Sophie and I enjoyed a simple supper around my kitchen table. I cooked a lemony courgette linguine and couldn't recommend it enough if you're craving some Italian happiness in your diet. Sophie also brought a beautiful bunch of yellow tulips which are proudly sitting on my table. I can't help but smile every time I look at them. Thank you!
I've been getting our little patio in order for the coming season and am delighted to see my spring bulbs poking their heads through, just in time for Easter. I have also ordered myself a composting bin (how has my life come to this?!) and I can't explain to you how excited I was to set it up earlier this week. I've been thinking a lot recently about how much food waste is thrown away and sent to landfill so I'm excited to start filling up my food caddy with scraps and left overs and start making my own compost. This is probably the last thing I ever thought I'd blog about when I set this up 4.5 years ago!
On the occasional blue sky day, the Common has been flexing its aesthetic muscles and reminding me exactly why I love living in this pocket of SW London and why I don't need to move out just yet.
My sewing machine has proved a love/hate item. I will be the first to admit that maths is NOT my strong point and so the whole aspect of measuring out fabric has been a little stressful, but the actual sewing part has been great and I am slowly building up a healthy collection of cushions.
And finally, the prospect of heading home in February, and much later to America in June, is really encouraging me to press on through the bleak mid winter and see it out to the other side.
Crickey, Pollyanna would be so impressed with this post! Next post will be a little less smug, promise.
