The red thread this weekend was Thai in the whole fabric of food that was M’s visit. My friend, M. My darling friend who says ‘Food is a form of expression’ – so you can guess what the rest of the weekend involved!

Another Hollandwood plaque
Flickr…Thank you. Through Flickr, I got one of my photos of St Stephen’s cathedral in Vienna published in the 8th edition of the Schmap! I got an email one day asking if I’d like to submit my photo for the guide. If it got accepted they would let me know. I had nothing to lose so […]
Pear Tarte Tatin…my inspiration

Greek salad extraordinaire

Target tips
Recognise this pattern? Maybe you do… but I didn’t, at first. I’ve never been to America. Please don’t laugh…..
