Ivy has just started walking (hooray!). I’m loving buying her (matching!) shoes.
Mine: H&M

Bank holiday weekend meant I got the chance to try a couple of new recipes. And with spring comes our favourite jersey royals and asparagus.
This Waitrose tart was dead easy and really tasty for Saturday lunch.
And then on Sunday I made *Jamie’s tray baked cod. I love a dish that not only looks and tastes great, but also gets cooked in one pan! Minimal washing up. Yes.
* Sorry this is the closest link I can find to the recipe I used from his app
We’ve had these plastic animal masks in the basement for months, today I decided to put them on the wall. How good do they look?!
It’s no secret how amazing the Peckham art scene is, there are reports every other week about it. But I had no idea how extensive it is until I went to the Pick Me Up show at Somerset House last week. There were so many studio’s from Peckham! Here are a couple of picked out.
Day Job is an illustration collective made up of 10 recent graduates from Camberwell College of Art.

The Peckham Print Studio at The Sunday Painter is a great space that you can hire directly by the hour to produce your own works of art, or they run weekly workshops on Saturday’s if you need a bit of help in understanding the printing process. They also have a great online shop for prints.

And then I spotted a little sign at a bar within the show for these guys… Peckham Pallets
They use recycled pallets to create cool furniture.
Just when you ask what’s going on… One of the best online guides to everything cool and cultured does an article on Peckham and the best it has to offer. And I think it’s a sure sign that we’re cool!
Refinery 29 has compiled a great list of who what and where to go.
Why haven’t I heard of Ellie’s Bakehouse yet?
Spring is here! I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to see buds on trees and bulbs in bloom. We made it through another winter!
So with this warmer weather I’ve started thinking about coming out of hibernation. What’s happening in Peckham? Fill me in??
Watch out. There’s some good bacon about!
Flock and Herd’s ‘Treacle Back Bacon’ has won the Overall Champion Title at the South of England Bpex Butcher Roadshow. No idea what that is, but their bacon sounds amazing! Am going to get some this Easter weekend. Here’s hoping the weather turns (dear God) so we can cook it on the bar b.
I’ve got out of the habit of wearing jewellery. But check out this amazing new range from Pernille Corydon. She’s a Danish jewellery designer and I LOVE every piece. It’s simple and understated but really different too. I’ve bought earrings, necklaces and rings, somebody stop me!
I love the idea of wearing lots of her simple band rings at once. Do you think I could get away with this many? Not sure how practical it would be with my 2 kids.
Cool though hey?

I’ve been to Abigail Ahern’s house.

I attended her interiors master class ‘from ordinary to extraordinary’. In a day you learn how to transform your home and her tricks of the trade. To be honest you can get all the principles of her decorating style through her blog, but what really made this day special is seeing her ideas in action. If you ever doubted painting your whole house dark, just 2 minutes in there made me want to run home and get the paint brush out. And if you’ve ever worried about pulling out every lamp you own and filling your home in faux flowers… I tell you seeing is believing. She lives her style and boy does it show.
Check out her new website here.
