• 🍋LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE🍋

As I said to someone earlier today, I only know it’s Monday because I baked cake! It’s so hard to tell each day apart at the moment isn’t it?

Lemon Drizzle is probably the most baked cake in our house and I can’t believe it’s taken nearly a year to share. Often you take the most simple for granted (I could make a joke at my own expense here but I’ll save you that one 😂)

Such an easy yet tasty & zesty recipe...I’d be surprised if it doesn’t become a favourite in your home too 🍋❤️

The recipe is now up on our website, link as usual in our bio ⬆️

  • Love that great big disco ball in the sky...it makes everything seem possible!

A day that started with snow ended up with golden light, great waves and some really fun body boarding with eldest daughter @theahodgins & @ck_surfboards 🏄‍♀️ 🏄‍♂️ 🏄

  • Moody skies, moody sea, moody photographer......
Actually the mood isn’t too bad, all things considered. 

I realise we are so lucky to live where we do. We may have no guests at the moment but we do have the sea & plenty of walks keeping us sane 💙

  • This photo of the Coach House kitchen reminded me that I still have lots of pampas grass dried & saved from the Autumn. I think I’ll have a go at making some arrangements for the house today. 

There’s plenty of contorted hazel and other interesting winter foliage in the garden, I might as well give it a shot. 
Do you have any tips?

  • Can’t believe it’s already a week since the loveliest couple Annie & Dan got married here. Just a little reminder that a small wedding for eight can still be big on style & romance. 

Can’t wait to see their photos...they managed to get some amazing adventure shots around Galley Head Lighthouse & our local beaches.

  • The joy of small things....

In case you’re wondering, no I’m not referring to himself. He’s actually quite tall (& joyful 😁)

Even when your world has shrunk to a 5km radius, it’s amazing when you take a track you’ve often passed, then find a hidden gem at the end....in this case a secret cove with gorgeous views. So these are the small things that cheered us up today:

🌧 It stopped raining & we got out for a walk!
🏊‍♀️ We found a West Cork version of an infinity pool. Might go back with my togs 👙 
🎨 The colours of the local rocks, moss & lichen got me dreaming about a room revamp. Couldn’t go wrong with a palate like that💛
☕️ My second cup of coffee was just as good as the first.
🍰 I got gorgeous pictures & messages from many of you trying our recipes, thank you!
👧 Daughter No.1 helped daughter No.2 with her school work 😅
🛍 I put make-up on & did a big food shop. Lovely chats with the staff in @scallyssupervalu as always 😊
🍽 The highlight of our day is usually dinner & I’m trying out a new recipe tonight 🤞🏼

Our daily goals are smaller but they can still be wins. How was your day?
