Colourful!

We have friends coming for dinner this evening.  I thought curry would make a good change for us - I tend to stick to good French daubes and Dauphinoise rather a lot these days, so time to break out.  I started by finding some little gems in the garden, to try and bring some of the colours of India in to the house.  The tiny rainbows from the sun shining through a prism hanging in the window brings a little more magic to these beauties!  As if they really needed anything extra - I think their colours just makes your heart sing! 
This evening I am hoping the combined fragrance of the spices I have ground up, and the dishes I am going to be preparing today, will help to bring even more of the Indian subcontinent to our dining table!

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
