My pinterest boards are definitely filling up with a freshness that the dream of spring brings, the simplicity and light and bright colour is what I am clearly craving...

I don't know about you but I am loving that autumn is here. Don't get me wrong I'm not a huge fan of grey rainy days and I love summer, especially when it is like the one we have just had, but autumn is possibly my favourite. Most folk talk of new beginnings with the start of a new year or the coming of spring, but for me September has always be a time for fresh starts. I think it comes from it being the start of the new school year. I like the chill in the air and the promise of fairy lights and fireworks and party season on it's way.

Anyway, here are some autumnal pins I have been looking at...

Aren't you just so happy that it is summer and the garden is full of colour and warmth and butterflies flitting about and bees buzzing all heavy and laden with pollen? I am! Here is what I have been pinning, lots of wild flowers and fragranced treats.

Happy hump day everyone... not sure how I actually feel about it yet as the sky is a bit grey and I am planning on doing paperwork today, eugh! So in order to shift my mood to a brighter cheerier place I thought I would share some pins of late that have a sharp citrus feel. I have obviously been craving zesty summer colours as there is a lot of lime on my boards, here's a few of the best...

Eats - quick lunch with mushrooms

I had a load of mushrooms that were just about to turn in the cupboard so in order that they didn't go to waste I made this super quick, super simple and super tasty light lunch. I will certainly be making it again as it was not only delicious but proper healthy and low fat, bargain!

Ingredients

100g sliced mushrooms (I had a mix of chestnut and shitake)

1.5 tsp vegetable stock powder

2 tbs natural yogurt

splash of water 

tsp chopped chives

In a hot non-stick pan dry fry the sliced mushrooms for around 4 mins, or until they start to brown. Sprinkle the stock powder over the mushrooms and stir so that they are evenly covered. Add the water to the pan (this will steam the mushrooms and help them soak up the stock powder), when the water has almost evaporated away remove from the heat. Stir in the yogurt and chives and serve immediately. I served mine on toast but this would equally as well as a side to a chicken or steak dish.

Enjoy xx

Good morning sweet things, good weekend? It has been and continues to be wet and cold here so today I am dreaming of summer treats, feathers and lace and all things pretty. Must be all the Gatsby chat that I am hearing, have you seen it yet? Is it worth a trip?

Little late today, and I am going to be honest and tell you that I completely forgot to write up my post! Anyway, I'm here now and sharing some recent pins that have caught my attention. I think they are slightly influenced by my desire for light and warmth and the urge to travel somewhere beautiful.
