We come running

There are some days where nothing but your favourite slouchies will suffice... 
Do you know what I am talking about friends? Those days when you get home after a long days work & immediately jump into your slouchiest, cosiest & probably ugliest clothes? Perhaps you own a glamour tracksuit??

Well, for me (being perpetually inappropriately overdressed), this new playsuit is my glamour tracksuit! It is made of this super soft material & can be adjusted to three different short lengths. Being blousey & breezey it has the miracle working capacity to cover any cake/food babies I might wish to hide. Wonderful! Plus, if unexpected guests happen to pop in I am still dressed to a socially acceptable level. Haha! FYI this is the most comfortable thing in my wardrobe & so so pretty too! I love! Hope you are all well xx

my new jacket

So I figure that if I pair this jacket with my khaki nail polish I am practically in the army.

you are a tart

A chocolate hazelnut tart with morello cherries & sour cherry sauce to be exact! This was my first attempt in years to bake a tart. The crust edges look a little 'rustic' but overall I was really happy with the results. The chocolate filling was nice & fluffy like mousse & the hazelnut liquor added some extra oomph. Can post my recipe if anyones interested?

Up on the hill across the blue lake

I really adore music. I am perpetually humming tunes in my head & occasionally I am ashamed to admit they slip out... Most of the time I am completely unaware I am singing aloud! Yes, I am that vague.
The funniest awkward moment involving 'accidental out loud singing' was when I went grocery shopping. Whilst analysing the pro & cons of buying macadamia nuts a gentleman came up behind me and started singing the harmony to the song I had previously been utterly unaware that I had been humming. It was like a spontaneous flash mob, but creepier & less in tune!
hmmn.
my life is so odd!

My point being?

Right, I love music! So when I discovered this skirt for the grand sum of $1 at the salvos I had to have it! Uh, it has a conductor, musical notes & a brass band. I needed it in my life. LOVE!

Recycling is cool. Hope your having an incredible day.

We will never look back, at the faded silhouette

Nonstop, we have the beaten path before us
It was all there, in plain sight
Come on people, we have all seen the sign
And we never get back to
To the old school
To the old grounds, it's all about the newfound
We are the newborn, the world know all a bouts
We are the future and we're here to stay

We've come a long way since that day
And we will never look back, at the faded silhouette
Avicii - Silhouette


I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day!! Silhouette is such a catchy tune.

Apologies for the late outfit post, but here is a an outfit I wore the other day. It is very pink & I always avoid pink in a quest to avoid becoming too fluffy! However, for some unkown reason I actually really enjoy this dress despite its bubblegumness. I feel like the touches of black minimise the cute & barbie factor. Hmm who am I kidding, its pretty cute. Oh well! Viva la Barbie!

in the garden - september

This month has been fairly quiet in my little garden.

After being shamefully neglected for the last year. Never watered, never fed. My Artichoke beat the odds & is producing pretty chokes!! Woo!

Having never grown broad beans before I didn't realise a) how long they take to grow... b) how TALL they grow. They are towering over my head (making them over 170cm tall)! Aieeee! There are hundreds of pods on the plants, but none ready to pick quite yet. They just keep on flowering too!! Patience is not my strongest quality.

Amongst other garden gossip: I have added another vegetable box to the garden!!! My plan is to completely fill the new box with tomatoes that I have grown from seed. I am soo ridiculously excited & have gone utterly overboard with the amount of tomatoes! The tomatoes I am growing from seed are the pink brandywine (from saved seed), anna russian, periforme, green zebra, black russian, black from tula, grannies throwing tomato, pineapple, anna russian, black zebra, speckled roman & yellow pear.... yeah... shush up... I just really love tomatoes ok...

Summertime is going to be very very exciting (for me & my stomach)!

CANT WAIT!!!

How does your garden grow?
