Country Garden Dreaming

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend 

with a little country garden dreaming

 at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2010.

For the bees in a Collage of Life garden.

A stately country garden bird house.

Twist and twine to bring it all together.

For a perennial border...

To light the way...

For organising this and that...

English country garden attire...

On to London.... 

  From one of my favourite stores 

along Pimlico Road, Daylesford Organic. 

They have since closed this section of the 

store but I love these images none the less.

 My little sister, Kathleen, arrives tomorrow.

It has been two years since we last saw each other.

I am getting ready for a whirlwind tour with her...

first stop Hampton Court Palace and

somewhere along the way, 

a coffee at Daylesford Organic.

I am one of six kids and the oldest. Kathleen

is #5. What a little devil she was back then...

some things never change :) People say we look alike.

What do you think, any resemblance?

Happy Weekend to one and all!

My Heart, Bircher Museli and Blueberry Muffins...

There are two thing I feel compelled to try whenever I see them, 

Blueberry Muffins and Bircher Museli. 

It does not matter where I am 

or what time of day it is. 

I must try! 

You can imagine my delight when this little beauty appeared in front of me.

I was introducing a friend to my favourite cafe on Pimlico Road in London.

One look at the menu and I knew what I was going to order.

I heart Daylesford Organic!

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Works of art and every bit just delicious.

I am keen to try a little apple carvery myself.

The red apple has me mystified!

I can never leave this store without a wander and a purchase or two.

I keep their Grapefruit Leaf candle on the kitchen windowsill.

The fresh scent is perfect when you need to spend a bit of time in the kitchen.

Gernaium and Neroli hand wash makes cleaning up that much more enjoyable.

As for Blueberry Muffins..
well I am still in search of the perfect one.

Nothing beats the ones I used to have as a child.

I heart Jordan Marsh and wish it would return.

They had the perfect blueberry muffin

with that nice sugary, crunchy top.

In fact, I am still looking for the perfect blueberry muffin recipe.

Recommendations would be most appreciated!!

Now for a little Bircher Museli loving...

Graham Kerr who makes it just the way I like it!
