fuelled by sunshine, my first batch of home-made kombucha, saturday morning bootcamp, cosy afternoons watching cooking shows…

made super-special because my parents came to stay + we slept out in our cosy studio and gave them our bedroom

sponsored by cheese & pickled shallot toasted sandwiches, apple & feijoa pies (made by my mother), bara brith, indian takeaways…

accompanied by a soundtrack of laundry spinning in the machine, the hum of the dishwasher, birdsong, lawnmowers.

how was your weekend?
