Ascott House and gardens

This beautiful house and garden are just on the outskirts of Leighton Buzzard and well worth a visit. Great topiary!

Sipala Frittata

The eggs and courgettes in this delicious frittata were from the lovely garden at Sipala, in Aspley Guise.
Freshly picked and freshly laid....yum!

Italy

Lake Como is absolutely beautiful.

The Queen at Edgwick Farm

I was absolutely delighted to see my pupil's artwork displayed around the perimeter fencing of Edgwick Farm in Woburn Sands. This was all part of the village Jubilee festivities which took place on bank holiday Monday.
Rachel was the organiser/designer who had the vision for this exhibition, and she worked so hard to make it happen. We were both very proud of the final result.

The Old School House, Woburn Lane

This interesting building on Woburn Lane has been transformed from school, to factory and now is a stunningly beautiful home. This has taken five years of vision, belief, and hard labour.
It was a privilege to spend a lovely evening there.

Jubilee picnic

This lovely' pop up' Jubilee picnic at Sipala turned into a lavish indoor buffet, due to heavy rain.
It was a wonderful feast, which included Jubilee chicken, jubilicious banoffee pie and these beautiful poached pears.

Best ever clematis

My purple clematis has been a wonderful splash of colour on the patio this year.
