Darling, Let's Do Brunch.

Brunch is, in my opinion, the best meal there is. Brunch is not the functional breakfast or lunch squeezed in to keep hunger at bay between work or school or errand running, it is a leisurely activity that takes place in good company on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

Today I had a particularly good brunch with an old friend at a regular brunching spot, Electric Diner, on Portobello Road in Notting Hill.

It was rather busy but with coffee to die for and food worth the wait we were more than happy to queue for five minutes whilst they found us a table. I chose my usual dish, the chili avocado and poached egg on granary toast with a side of spinach. Healthy and oh so delicious. If you're feeling more indulgent though, there's a good choice of other dishes including delightful looking waffles and the traditional Full English.

If you're interested take a look at the website here.

Of course after brunch, you're in the perfect spot for a stroll and perhaps some shopping with the Portobello Road market right outside. What more could you want from a Sunday morning? x

Homemade Red Velvet Cupcakes

It took me two attempts but I am very pleased with my first ever Red Velvet Cupcakes! 

I used a recipe book I got from my mother for for christmas. Expect more cupcake experiments to come xxx

The Light That Is Your Love

You are the Sun and I am the Earth. I am trapped in orbit around you. Spinning.

And when you are gone everything is shadow and night and I am alone.

The stars are memories of the moments we share. Echoes of your blazing light. Keeping me company while I think of you. 

Do you think of me too?

Waiting. Waiting for the day that is you.

The day and the warmth of your fiery rays that bring life to my soil. Capable of nothing without the light.

The light that is your love.
