Here & Now




Loving // All these beautiful pink blooms. The first two photos are of a tree that I never notice until it flowers every year. I don't know the name of it, and I didn't know that it's gorgeous flowers were scented either until I went to take a picture. The perfume is so strong it is almost overwhelming. Do you know what kind of tree it is?
Eating // Mangoes from our tree, and sourdough cinnamon scrolls. I saw a River Cottage special episode for Christmas, and in it they made a delicious fruit and spice filled pull-apart bread. They baked it in a spring-form tin, and so I was inspired to try my usual cinnamon scrolls cooked in a tin. It is my new favourite method.
Drinking // Twinnings English Breakfast
Feeling // Rather flat and worn out
Making // Progress on my new toy design. I'm quite pleased and very excited for you to meet her
Thinking // About writing a recipe for spelt sourdough starter....would you like one?
Dreaming // Of lambs in June. I know spring lambing wasn't really that long ago, but I love these babies so much!

What is happening in your here & now?

  3. I recently discovered your blog via Small Things (I always peruse the comments to find new bloggers to follow!). I just wanted to tell you that your photographs are so beautiful, and I am so happy to have found your little space. Here in the Northern hemisphere we are enjoying(?) the ice and snow, but your blooms make me feel hopeful.

  7. I am coming to my blog reading late - it's been a doozy of a fortnight. I do hope you're feeling better and not as flat as you were when you wrote this. It's been a bumpy start to the year for many. I hope you're OK.

  8. Hi Sarah,

    Just seen your beautiful tree! It looks like an Apple Blossom Tree (i think it's also called a Rainbow Shower Tree :) )- Cassia javanica.

    Hope you are having a lovely day!
