Want to apologize or the rubbish photo quality. My photos are actually great naif you click on them so they appear on a separate page, you will see! But in the meantime if anyone has any tips for me about making them look good on the actual page, please help. I'm using an iPad and it just seems rubbish for blogging photots.
Again, I repeat. I'm sorry.

My dear France
My travels have began and this week I find myself in the South of France in a town called St Raphael. Turns out when I was a wee bubba, I lived not 2hours away. Now I'm wondering why my parents ever left. It is quite literally, the perfect weather, the houses are so nice with their beautiful old style shutters, the food (obviously) is amazing and your so close to Italy it makes for a glorious day trip.
Which, as it turns out, we did yesterday! Pizza, rose and the beach. Pretty darn perfect!

Just a quick one today
For those of you who have been in this country for the last couple of years will probably already know...for those of us who haven't I'm super duper pleased to say that the fantastic peeps at River Cottage have come up with a land share idea. It really is fantastic.
Main gist is, you want to grow veggies but have no land or space. Mr George down the road has a massi back garden or a few spare acres, you get together and share! Fantastic right!
So get onto the website to find out if you can share your land or if some kind soul will let you use their land.
Happy days!

Woodland walks
And who said feeling ill is and excuse not to do anything? Today was forest day as it turned out and I couldn't help feeling a little like Goldilocks walking through the woods. Living in the tropics I had completely forgotten about that un-mistakable Fir tree smell and the the fantastic way collecting fir cones makes you feel like your hunting for bounty.
Not only the majestic Fir trees on show but there was all sorts of fabuloso stuff around, snails and slugs with their trails and amazing mushrooms....if only I knew which were safe and which were not!

Rhubarb crumble
I hope everyone is fine half way through the week? I, unfortunately have a stinking cold, cough and all that goes with it. Which I'll be honest, is NOT fun. But no fear, my dear Mama felt it her motherly responsibility to make me crumble...something that always cheers me up. Oh yes, lots of cream please.
Still in love with my camera, I couldn't help struggling off the sofa in front of the fire to snap away and here it is.
Clean and was the rhubarb, I used about 9pieces but had enough left to make stewed rhubarb
Crumble topping, butter, flour and a bit of sugar blended together. We don't use exact quantities as we do it by feel but there are plenty of recipes on the web you can find.
Cut into similar size pieces....amazing colours huh!?
Place topping on top and shove in the oven still the crumble topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling up. Probably 180 for half an hour but just keep checking....enjoy!

It's all about the seaside.
I love love love anything beach. The sand in your pants, the ice cream cones, the drift wood, shells and the sense of freedom that comes with the waves crashing on one side, the breeze blowing through you hair and like today, the sun.
It was, glorious. Just beautiful. I've only been back 3days in the UK so obviously not that acclimatized hence the 3 layers,boots and jeans but it was divine.
We had breakfast on the beach, people were walking their dogs, the sun was shining, the surfers were out and I really appreciated being in the UK. So, thanks to my new camera (LX5) which I love, love to death as in do you take this camera for better or worse love. And my new app snapseed I got a litle carried away but enjoy...hope you had a great sunny day!
