Nom nom.

Nothing green, but chorizo, smoked ham, crumbly west country cheddar, Colman's English mustard, tzatziki (why not?), cherry tomatoes.

It was nice.

Lunch

I write at lunch and eat blueberries warmed in the sun.

Peonies

My first bunch of peonies have been making me smile for a week. Each day they reveal more delicate pink ruffles. 

Topshop

I had to put a stop to my Topshop embargo because I really needed this grey and green nail varnish. And I have seen their floral shorts. They are very good by the way - no chipping as of yet and only £5.

Bikes

This is my new bike.

I have not named it. Globe called it Vienna. If someone steals it I will be devastated. I have cycled to work three times last week. Since then I have:

• Cycled 45 miles (phew).
• Preached to all of my friends and the decorator about the benefits of cycling (he was fascinated).
• Found a way to bring up my bike, bike routes, fluorescent jackets, what I think of baskets into most conversation.
• Been nearly knocked off once, I like the sound of skidding breaks.
• Got lost and ended up in Camberwell, or was it Stockwell.
• Slept very well.
• Amassed bruises on my shins.
• Felt happy, healthy and totally obsessed.

I have not been so absorbed and boring about something since I started wearing contact lenses.

Soon I am going to buy a racer. Image below is from Day Dream Lilly where you can find lots of floaty, dreamy  photography.

Next time

I've missed these beautiful necklaces again.

Jam jar flowers

When we have our big party I am going to collect jam jars and cut flowers from the garden. Probably sweet peas and forget-me-nots.
