It’s really amazing what you can do with a double batch of chocolate buttercream and a big ol’ spatula… Oh, and a very expensive supermarket shop for effective landscaping items.
Needless to say the birthday girl was well pleased…

Pushkar is one of five major Hindu pilgrimage sites in India, where devotees come to worship at the temple to Brahma, and bathe in the waters of Pushkar lake. There are over 50 ghats surrounding the lake – stepped areas where the deep green water laps at the marble steps – and we were lucky enough to stay at a guesthouse overlooking one (the room was also quite close to a public urinal, but hey…) The morning sunrise over the lake was stunning, and the monkeys that paraded across the rooftops of the city an added bonus…

Neon Autumn
So, extremely late, here’s some shots from lunch last Sunday. There’s a tree dropping absolutely stunning autumn leaves just on our corner. The Berry and I spent a late afternoon picking the “pretty leaves”, a relative term for the two of us. The little macrame vase holders were inspired by/nicked from this gorgeous wedding. Might […]
