- Waking up slowly. I spent most of last week solo parenting while also battling some kind of a virus, the main symptom of which has been complete exhaustion. A lazy Saturday morning was just what my body needed.
- Sipping tea and eating a cooked breakfast.
- Taking a long shower.
- Wearing skinny jeans and cosy, fine knit sweater. I’m obsessed with GAP’s merino wool range. Warm with just the right amount of sexy.
- Riding the bus to Darts Farm.
- Enjoying Jesse’s excitement. When you’re 3 years old the adventure starts from the minute you get to the bus station.
- Buying a bird-feeder from the RSPB shop.
- Eating a Ploughman’s for lunch. I do love a bit of cheese and chutney.
- Admiring the fresh produce.
- Tasting chocolate, drooling over cakes and marvelling at the array of pickles, preserves and chutney.
- Heading home.
- Hanging the bird-feeder.
- Watching the children gaze out the window as they waited for the wildlife to flock to our garden.
- Cooking and eating Leek and Sweet Potato ‘Moussaka’. You can find the recipe in the Christmas issue of Sainsbury’s Magazine. It is definitely not a low fat option, containing as it does double cream, butter and a mountain of feta cheese, but it was delicious.
- Reading bedtime stories.
- Settling down on the sofa to watch ‘TED’. After only ten minutes, my sides were already aching from laughing so hard. Hilarious.
- Drinking wine and nibbling snacks.
- Heading to bed.
- Struggling to wake up.
- Snuggling with the children on the sofa in front of ‘Hocus Pocus’.
- Eating porridge and drinking tea.
- Showering.
- Slipping into a favourite little black dress.
- Wearing winged eye-liner and red lippy.
- Stealing a few hours to myself.
- Visiting the Crikey It’s Vintage Christmas Fair.
- Adding to my collection of vintage china. I adore this sweet rectangular cake plate. Obviously, I had to rush home immediately and bake a lemon drizzle cake with which to adorn it.
- Making Nigella’s Italian Roast Chicken with Peppers and Olives again. I love this recipe from Nigelllisima, so simple and tasty.
- Eating cake.
- Bathing the children.
- Momentarily misplacing my wedding and engagement rings. After a brief panic, Mr. LA found them on the chest of drawers in our bedroom. Phew!
- Helping Izzy with her homework.
- Making plans for the week ahead.
- Drinking hot chocolate.
- Looking forward to climbing into bed and reading till I fall asleep.
Love Audrey xxx
Oooh! We got bird feeders this weekend too! Tis the season to feed birdies.
Hocus Pocus as in the SJP film? Eska was a little bit obsessed with that film last year 😉
Loving Izzy’s dress, where is it from?
xXx
Yup, the one and the same. Izzy loves it, and so does Jesse actually. He keeps quoting lines and pretending to cackle like a witch! Think Carl quite likes SJP too if I’m honest. I’ll admit she looks quite hot in a corset!
Izzy’s dress is from Boden. It’s really lovely, pretty but comfortable. She wears it with leggings so she can still climb trees and the like 🙂

The moussaka sounds amazing I can’t find it on the sainsburys site tho 🙁
Aww lovely family, lovely food. we also bought a bird feeder and fat balls (!) yesterday! I also pondered Crikey it’s Vintage but didn’t want to go alone! xxx
