Fabulous visit to Pump Street Bakery last week. We got to make a bar of chocolate which I have gifted to myself for my birthday later this week. Guess what I put in it?!

Listening to Boris Becker on Chris Evans @virginradiouk.bsky.social - was always a fan but I think even more so now.

Waking up to all the #Onam vibes today

It's (kinda) coming up roses Learning to be patient - everything blooms in its own time

Love the roses getting a bit reflective while deadheafing this evening

Baking macrons from the La Duree cookbook as was intrigued by the addition of melted chocolate. Overall verdict is that they are a lot grainier than using Italian meringue but I like the chewier texture. Will share finished results later

The only pic I managed to take last night at Enfield Waterstones Summer Social. Lovely chatting to so many of you. Thanks for stopping by.

We have poppies again on the allotment. Nothing last year and this year these stunning huge blooms! #FlowerReport

Scrambled eggs on toast for me but would much have preferred yours.

A vibrant field of sunflowers in full bloom stretches into the distance under a bright blue summer sky. The tall green stalks are topped with large yellow blossoms, some facing the sun, others tilting playfully. Trees line the horizon in the background, framing the joyful, sun-drenched scene.

Just a bunch of #sun worshippers soaking up the gossip and the rays.

I bought large dahlias last year for £6 a pot. Left them in the ground over winter with not much hope of them coming back. They did! Loooook! The first flower!!

Very happy to see a bit more of Gujarat on Race Across the World episode 7. But I really really really REALLY wish the narrator would learn and practice how to pronounce / intonate the city names.

I love talking to taxi drivers abroad. I always learn so much!

Also - I forgot #flowerreport yesterday so here you go - a beautiful something all dried up but looking absolutely spectacular

If youre interested this was my workout today interspersed with my physio exercises lyfta.app/wk/80oyw

Anyone else consider their life choices whilst at the gym? Sitting here between ab crunches pondering ideas for a Substack.

You need to go with my youngest child. She turns into a beast but we ALWAYS win

Fantastic day at Taco Festival yesterday. Highlight was the deep fried avocado taco and the cactus taco. Mushroom one was tasty too.
