amazing New Year's Eve fireworks in London
now this is a pantry....
This week my children returned to school and I returned to my daily routine....
my new book "The Happiness Project" is already having an effect on me and I have found myself falling, almost without realising it, into a new daily routine which is proving astonishly more effective and efficient for me.
And I'm only on chapter 4 ;)
Morning coffee with friends prompted discussions about plans and hopes for the New Year....
with encouragement and positivity all round.
If girls ran the world, I'm sure things would get done so much quicker ;)
The weather has been crazy in London this week - high winds, rain and hail.
Today it's cold and sunny and I am planning to head up to Hampstead Heath for a long and bracing walk this week-end.
Oven baked lamb and potatoes with rosemary for dinner
(it's not often that I talk about my cooking but this is the most fabulous dish from my Italian Cookery class last term)
French Cooking begins next Monday and I'm also heading back to the gym,
possibly just as well now that I've seen the planned recipes for the term!
Have a great week-end!
Working on my January Instagram challenge :)
Wow! you sound SO ready for 2012 Sim. I am also now dying to read the Happiness Project since you mentioned it. Off to order it now :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend Sweets, and enjoy your walk on the Heath (I so miss the mad seasons in the UK; it just makes life so much more interesting) xx
That pantry is awesome! Look at how many Toblerones and Ghiradelli bars are in it!!
ReplyDeleteSend that pantry my way please! It sounds like your New Year is off to a fabulous start! Our weather here can't decide what it wants to be - in the morning it's winter and the rest of the day has been summer - pretty confusing! Can I tag along on your walk? I have eaten far too much chocolate lately. Haha. Happy weekend my fabulous friend! xxoo :)
ReplyDeleteOh French cooking lessons! I'm looking forward what you're going to learn!
ReplyDeleteThat pantry...to die for!
ReplyDeleteDearest Simone,
ReplyDeleteThe quote about happiness is so true. One has to 'STOP' at times for enjoying it!
You seem to be in full gear for 2012. Sounds upbeat and optimistic, so go for it.
Love to you,
Mariette
Time for me to pick up my copy and resume reading, Simone! I need to walk the walk now ☺. J x
ReplyDeleteI would like to have a piece of that pie right now with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream and a cuppa tea please! Love that cake shot ~ it is too pretty to eat ~ really...well not really after all it IS cake! Sounds like you are getting back into your groove ~ I am in the midst of banishing Christmas from the house although I am feeling like crap right now ~ it's gotta get done so here I go! Enjoy the rest of your week-end sweet girl and thank you so much for your comments yesterday. xo
