The closest I will get to a ski slope this season. I didn’t quite believe when the weather forecast actually said it would snow - but waking up to it this morning was pretty special. It won’t last but it’s life. Walking around today for our ‘permitted 1h of exercise’ definitely allowed for a change in scenery. ⠀
When this is all over - where would you like to go? And guess mine 🥰
Another week, another table setting, because why not? We are on our 3rd week of lockdown and I’m finding it much harder than before. The motivation to cook is dwindling but has to be done. What are you planning to cook this week? We are having zaatar chicken thighs tonight, Cottage pie tomorrow and steak Wednesday. Leave a comment below so it may inspire someone else, please. Every little helps (and thank you!)
It’s the first #PrawnThursday of 2021 and deserves to be immortalised on the feed. Our fishmonger took a little break and now I can say, it feels like proper lockdown. (For background, we discovered this great fishmonger who comes to our door every Thursday in April last year and he’s definitely made our lockdowns much better). Do you like #prawns or not so much?

Very wise words by my dear friend @molly.schoneveld. They really struck a chord. Here’s to a good first week of 2021.
As 2020 comes to an end, it will certainly be a year we won’t forget, ever. It was tragic in more ways than others, but there were also silver linings.
