(Tuna salad with vegonaise) (Massive fruit haul – Figs are the sole reason I fall in love with Autumn each year.)Autumn and Winter have never been my most favourite of months. There have been too many years of remembering the deep cold in the pit of my bones. Too many years of feeling the cold, just feeling it…

Watching, Waiting.
Whilst we will spend the next few weeks mulling over our move, I’m mindful of enjoying the present, too. Change is inspiring but there’s also a lot to be said for a merino wool cardigan and a steaming bowl of Maca and honey oats with fresh figs and cinnamon. Creature comforts are one of life’s…
