Despite the fact that it is supposed to be spring (no – honestly!) gale force winds and pouring rains have not abated and that makes me all the more taken with this gorgeous country cottage interior design. The roaring fire in an otherwise bright and airy room is homely without having that Dickensian sooty feel, and the light in the room, combined with neutral tones and the odd splash of colour still manage to say spring. Love!
Nautical motifs and the distinctive blue, red and white stripes that epitomise the nautical trend have been rife on spring catwalks for a couple of years now. The start of summer usually sees a wave (ha ha – ahem) of canvas board shoes, stripy camisoles and, even if you are not deliberately going for the seafaring trend, even your basic blue jeans and white vest takes on a distinctly nautical vibe.
So – sick of all the snow and miserable weather, I have decided to look toward spring and that automatically takes me in a nautical direction. Take a look at these goodies!
I have been thinking a lot about mini eggs for the past couple of days. Much as mini egg nests are a must, they are a little bit unadventurous and I am not sure anyone would really consider them actual baking. And besides, why should the kids get all the fun? So I decided that the teeny sugar covered chocolate eggs needed to appear in a more adult treat. Enter mini egg brownies!
It feels like Christmas was only a couple of weeks ago and already it is Easter. Normally Easter is a quiet affair, but after an unnaturally quiet Christmas, this year it is Easter that is going to be the whirlwind of planning. People are descending on Good Friday and I am expecting a house full until Easter Monday. Easter Sunday dinner will be at least ten people and there needs to be a host of smaller dinners and treats on top of that!
