Another Year Older

It was my Birthday this week...another year older, another year to reflect on all the things I am grateful for.

It was a really great Birthday. Plenty of time spent with Family & Friends, copious amounts of laughter and scrumptious meals shared.

And I really was spoiled with presents -- extra points to my amazing husband for reading my blog and tracking down a box of these Pantone Postcards

We awoke to beautiful morning

Mediteranian Baked Eggs with Chirizzo 

St. Ali Coffee (of course)

Floor Lamp (good picking husband)

Excellent present choices by my wonderful husband

Love my new watch from my family

And a little present that i bought for myself

Happy Friday!! Enjoy the weekend whatever you may be up too...

Veg Patch // Part One

Finally we have made a small start on our Veg Patch. 


While at my Great-Great Aunts 90th Birthday my wonderful husband surprised me with getting started on our veg patch. 


When we moved into our little home there was a lot of rubbish on the block that we had to remove, amongst this rubbish was a cast iron bath tub which we couldn't bring ourselves to get rid of. 

As much as i would love that some how this bath tub could be installed in the house, it will be used in the yard as our herb garden.

It is a work in progress, thanks to my thoughtful Dad-in-law we have a start of some Thyme and Rocket.

I'm cooking Osso Buco at the moment using fresh Thyme from our herb garden...it smells delicious and we will soon be enjoying a hearty winter warming meal.

I will keep you posted on the progress of our Veg Patch but for now here are some pics of what we have achieved so far.
