This is your sign to make yourself some chai and g This is your sign to make yourself some chai and go on a walk in the countryside to admire the dreamy autumn leaves. 📍Balcombe Circular walk (about 5 hours) #upandautumn #autumnwalk #gowildlyandslow
And she’s back at the planning board with a new id And she’s back at the planning board with a new idea for yet another diy project… There’s a spot that needs timing in the bedroom and I’d love some delft tiles there. Actual tiles are a little out of my budget though so I’m going to attempt a DIY version! Can I do it or have I totally lost the plot? 😅 #housetoahome #diyroomdecor #girlswhodiy #budgetfriendlydiy #renovationdiaries
We found ourselves in Athens rather unexpectedly a We found ourselves in Athens rather unexpectedly at the end of our holiday. Two days of cancelled ferries meant we ended up missing not one but two flights. By the time we managed to get on a ferry back to Athens (which was packed to the gills), the earliest flight we could get in was in 2 days time! So there we were, with 48 hours on our hands. We walked EVERYWHERE, and once we recovered from all the drama, really enjoyed wandering the city streets. Here’s what we got up to! #visitathens #ancientgreece There’s lots of street art all over the city, which I always love to see. 🖼️ Gate of Athena Archegetis, part of the old Roman Forum. 🏛️ 📍Roman Forum of Athens (Roman Agora) Who put the glad in gladiator? ⚡️ 📍Anafiotika The Olympic stadium, where the first modern Olympics happened in 1896. Hot tip: we went into the park next to the stadium and were able to get some great views without going in. 📍Panathenaic Stadium This guy’s just been chilling for a cool 2000 years or so… 📍Arch of Hadrian The Acropolis really looms over the city. It’s impressive now, I can only imagine how impressive it was way back when… 📍Ardittos Hill Greek bagels were a regular occurrence during our time in Naxos and Athens! 🥯 Found a cool flea market to mooch around 📍Monastiraki Flea Market (Sundays only) The temple of Hephaestus in the distance 🏛️ Sunset over the city ☀️ 📍Philopappos Hill More sunset views ☀️ 📍Philopappos Hill Baked goods from 72 Hour Bakery. We had the lemon poppyseed bun and the honey and feta croissant 🥐 Hot tip: get your baked goods to go and then find a bench in Athens National Garden for a lovely morning. 📍@72h_artisanalbakery The changing of the guard. It’s a fascinating ritual that happens every hour on the hour. 📍Monument to the Unknown Soldier Ancient ruins really hit different in Greece 🇬🇷 📍Odeon of Herodes Atticus Climbed the Acropolis. Kept looking around for Percy and Annabeth. 🏛️ 📍Ancient Temple of Athena Essential eating… 📍Thanasis Sometimes it’s all in the details…
Greece was amazing but have you seen the cats?! Greece was amazing but have you seen the cats?! #catsofgreece #visitgreeceguide #citycats
Greetings from Naxos 🇬🇷 We just got back from a d Greetings from Naxos 🇬🇷 We just got back from a delightful week in Greece… our first visit, if you’d can believe it. Rather than island hop, we opted to stay on one spot where there was plenty to do. The return journey was eventful(cancelled ferries galore and panicked rescheduled flights) but our six days on the island were a delight! Here’s what we got up to! #naxosgreece #visitnaxos #exploregreece #naxosisland #visitgreeceguide Coffee with a view ☕️ 📍Avaton 1739 Cute streets of Chora with that classic Mediterranean blue 💙 Our accommodation was in this area so lots of wandering the little streets! Had to include at least one cat (of the hundreds we came across). You should see my camera roll 🐈 Sunset views from the Portara. We went up a few times as the view was so lovely! 📍Temple of Apollo Visited the Ancient Temple of Demeter and the Ancient Temple of Dionysus. 🏛️ Seeing Ancient Greek ruins in the place they were actually built really hits different. Explored a few beaches on the island but Alyko and Plaka were our favourites. 📍Alyko Beach The view from Hawaii beach 🏝️ Sunset dinner at Nikos & Maria. It was windy but very tasty! 📍@nikosmarianaxos A drive through the mountain towns. Stopped at Rotunda for lunch and a view! Learned a lot about olive oil and visited a traditional olive press in Damalas. 📍Damalas Village Never not excited about a bookstore! 📍Apeiranthos The mountains were immense! Loved how they just disappeared into the clouds. Greek holiday vibes ☀️ 📍Naxos Town Some stellar sunsets! We made a point of catching as many as we could. Cooking class at Estia! We had a great time walking through the farm, then cooking local recipes with homegrown vegetables… 📍@estia_kouros_empeiria …followed by some traditional music! 📍@estia_kouros_empeiria Views upon views on this island! Cats and cute streets in one. One more sunset, this time from the Portara. 📍Temple of Apollo

Living far from home (in another country no less), Living far from home (in another country no less), I get cravings for things that remind me of my childhood. Like Peach cobbler… It makes me think of the end of summer break when the evenings start drawing in and autumn is about to knock on the door. This dessert is made for sharing, so here’s my go to recipe. No gate keeping here! Ingredients: 8-10 large peaches 50 grams brown sugar 1 tsp cornflour 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp salt 1 lemon, juiced 250 grams plain flour 100 grams sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 115 grams unsalted butter, cold 120 ml milk 2 tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1. Preheat oven to 190°C/175°C fan. 2. Cut peaches in half, remove stones, then slice and add to baking dish. 3. Mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, salt and lemon juice and mix in with peach slices until everything is coated evenly. 4. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Set aside. 5. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients. Cube the butter and add. Using your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles crumbs. 6. Add the milk and stir until everything comes together in a wet dough. 7. Pull a chunk of dough and flatten a with your fingers, then lay on top of the peaches. Repeat until the dough is used up. Don’t worry about covering the whole top, there will be gaps! 8. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top. 9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the liquid is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. 10. Serve with a scoop of ice cream (salted caramel is my fave!) Enjoy! #bakingrecipe
