10 Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week

A week of catch ups, summer dreaming, home, ice lollies and skirt lusting... 

Ottolenghi experiments

For supper at home, experiments are always fun. We'd had a big lunch and didn't fancy anything too filling for supper so, after a flick though the incredible Ottolenghi cookbook, we decided to have lots of smaller dishes, experiment with some flavours and make a few different things.

We ended up with six dishes on the table, lots of good white wine and candles and it was a perfect way to spend a Saturday eve.

As Spring turns to Summer the adventures seem to increase and the longer days seem to somehow get more and more full. But I for one am definitely not complaining. My desire to sit in front of a screen and write a blog post after a long day at work is fairly low right now and with the onset of brighter evenings recently, I seem to have had an after work plan more often than not (naughty on school nights!). This weekend has been such a chilled one though and I feel truly refreshed, somehow still tired - what is that about?! - and well and truly ready for summer to begin!

Hello blog. Its been a long time. Apologies for that. London has a way of filling your time, ensuring you are exhausted, satisfied and yet somehow simultaneously ready for the next adventure and the last few months have been non-stop.

He for she

This one doesn't need an explanation but it does need a share. The more it gets shared the clearer the message will be. And the definition of feminism is fairly spot on in my opinion. Emma Watson is such a babe.

Maria's housewarming

One of the first weekends I had in London, in fact the Friday of my first week of work and before we had even moved into the flat, Maria had a housewarming. It was low key and gorgeous. Filled with catch ups and lovely to see her new home. Most of it was spent with a glass of wine in hand and all of us giggling and I can't think of a better way to spend a Friday night. It wasn't a late one for me as had to  face the commute home but it was the perfect start to the London nights to come. 

The genuine smiles in the photo above definitely does the night justice.
