Simple pleasures of summer........
Entertaining outdoors, creating a craft masterpiece for a dear friend, cooking up a storm for family and friends, digging in the garden all Sunday afternoon. These are the simple pleasures to enjoy.
My passion for the garden only started after marrying my husband who is a farmer and loves the garden. We now have two children that love the outdoors and love to grow things just like dad.
There is no greater pleasure than cooking and eating the home grown herbs, tomatoes or vegies and cutting your own roses for the table, or the sheer peace of sitting outside by the garden on a starry night.
Bring life to your outside space with organic textures and colour. Take inspiration from your surrounds and choose colourful flowers that are easy to grow, and use fabrics and furniture to make your outside area a luxurious place.
Scent and taste are two very basic luxuries that I love. My family loves to cook and we have
a lot of traditions when it comes to food. Again I really only learnt to cook when I meet my husband as he is a chef as well as a farmer.
There is nothing better than entertaining outdoors with the barbecue loaded with fresh seafood, a gorgeous old oak table trimmed with neutral whites and creams and the table laid with candles on a balmy summer evening.
Oh and what to do when the summer rains come.....grab your artistic ability and all your goodies and start creating that craft masterpiece.
Enjoy!
