Autumn Baking

Well it was a cold old, wet and windy weekend - leaving us with nothing much to do apart from rugging up and staying indoors. The fire roared away all weekend so I thought I would make the most of the wintery weather and do some cooking. One of the kids is in the middle of exams and the other is learning the guitar off his very talented dad. So with the two of them strumming away I set about baking a chocolate cake for afternoon tea and a apple pie for dessert. With the lovely aroma from the oven, the warmth of the fire and good food to look forward to I think everyone was very contented!

 

Falling In Love

With autumn leaves falling and crisper days I am starting to think of updating my winter wardrobe. I love this Louis Vuitton campaign with it's fifties inspired glamour and rusty brown autumn tones. The prefect high pony tails are fun and the cinched in waists and voluptuous bustlines are a welcome change after years of waif like models strutting down our catwalks. Bring on the feminine curves I say and let women be women!

Autumn Fare

We have just bought our first load of firewood for the season so my thoughts are turning to crisp Autumn evenings with the fire roaring away in the background, hot soups, freshly baked bread, crackling Autumn leaves underfoot, warm chunky knits and wooly scarves. I love watching the seasons change and I am looking forward to hearty meals and cosy nights in!
