The Simple life



The last few days I have had the Flu so staying in bed watching Martha and Jamie Oliver has been a rare treat fever and all! Jamie cooking at home, by the creek, his abundance of fresh herbs, his relaxed attitude to cooking. I just love the Idea of growing my herbs and vegetables in my back-yard, getting the family involved and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. Jamie's garden is my inspiration all I need is lots of land and a running creek!

It would be wonderful to have the space to grow the vegies like Jamie. Love the second photo. Looks like a great spot to sit with friends having a long lunch and plenty of laughs

yes... that is a wonderful dream that share to... but the problem is.. its really a LOT of work to maintain land ...you could have a lovely vege patch in your backyard...

I hope you are back on your feet soon. I particularly loved the last pic - I just wanted to reach into the computer and take one of those glasses of what looks like ice cold home made lemonade. I wish I had the space for a full-on vegie patch. Lee :)

My kind of settings! I look so forward to dining outdoors. Everyone is always more relaxed and in less of a hurry to leave the table.
Thank you for reminding us of what we have to look forward to here in the states.
Hope you are feeling better soon. So glad to have your blog and boutique to visit. Would love to post about Lily-G with your permission.
