My kind of muffin top - hot cross buns on the rise for tomorrow! #hotcrossbuns #thegoodkindofmuffintop #goodfriday #kitchensmellsamazing

First bluebells! #bluebells #bluebellseason #woodlandwalk #britishwildflowers #englishcountryside

Half an hour and one tester pot of #farrowandball #vardo later and I’ve drawn some conclusions: 1) people prepare their doors before painting for an reason 2) a tester pot isn’t quite enough for a whole door (again, prob for a reason) 3) Vardo is a lovely rich chameleon of a colour, even if you can’t see it because this photo is shocking 4) high gloss would likely be better than estate emulsion Nevertheless, I’m happy! Vardo has undertones that sit beautifully with the red brick, step and quarry tiles of the house and the white door surround whilst the brass elements lift it beautifully. It’s suitably grown up from a distance but when the sun shines on it, it comes ALIVE! When it’s done properly (🤷‍♀️) it’s going to look pretty fricking fantastic. #myfrontdoor #frontdoordecor #myporch #lookattheslopeonthat #apologiesfarrowandball #lovemyhouse

The eldest’s first go at arranging flowers for the Sunday lunch table. Think she’s done pretty well x #sundaylunch #keepingupappearances #startthemearly #raisethemright #mygardenthismonth

Just found this in amongst some odds and ends in the potting shed. It’s a hydrangea flower we took from the most magnificent specimen on the cliffs overlooking Aberdyfi where our friend Jane lives. We spent an eternal afternoon there last summer, basking in the sun, hiding from the wind, throwing a frisbee into the bracken with some of her neighbours and taking in the vastness of that coast. The blue of the hydrangeas seemed to come from some unearthly source and we wanted to capture it as a little snippet of a wonderful day. Jane wrapped a couple of the flowers in baking parchment for us in the hope of preserving them over winter. They haven’t quite lasted, I don’t think they ever could have, but it’s made me remember a wonderful warm day; swimming, crabbing, strolling, chatting and feeling very very happy. It’s also made me think that, even as we’re locked down, those hydrangea are still up there on those hills above the town. They’re gathering their strength, waiting for the summer like us, and they’ll be there waiting for us with their celestial blue when we are ready to see them. Thank you for your foresight, Jane. You’ve given me such hope. @inesalcarz #aberdyfi #aberdyfi❣️ #welshcoast #welshcoastline #happysummerdays #hydrangea #hydrangeas #hopeforthefuture #lockdown #thankyoujane

I keep finding little still lifes like this around the house. Boredom? Or are they some kind of propitiatory offering to ancient gods that only my youngest knows about? #sacrificialofferings #ancientgods #whatdoessheknowthatidont #bewarethescissors
