Hello French Alps - see you soon!





Loft/apartment no 2 that we are staying in this time

Only (less than) 2 weeks to go now until this years skiing trip in Courchevel, hurrah!
We will be staying in one of the six apartments above the same hotel as last year, only this year we'll have a larger balcony with stunning views and a log fire in the middle of the living room. And my Mum, AKA Mary Poppins? Yes, she'll be coming this time too - really can't wait!

Pork Salad Cups

For tonight's dinner I made Thai-inspired organic pork salad served in (little gem) lettuce leaves with chopped roasted peanuts sprinkled on top

New and noteworthy






Even though I have only just bought Sean a new jacket for Spring, as I walked past Benetton's window today I spotted this trench coat and cap, and couldnt resist the temptation yet again! Doesn't he just look so smart the little handsome devil?!

Housewife duties

After an early 5.45am start today, we've already showered, had mushroom omelette for brekkie, dusted off the sewing machine and like the little perfect housewife that I am (LOL), I'm now altering some of Sean's clothes :-)

The Valentine's menu



Here's the master chef of last night. Bear used True Deli for the food, and it all came with simple printed cooking instructions. Perfect for anyone who can't cook!

Our Valentine's menu (washed down with a few glasses of Shiraz):

Canapé

Smoked Salmon Blinis Crème Fraiche, Chives topped with caviar

~~~

First Course

Smoked Duck, Walnut and Poached Pear with rocket, parmesan and balsamic vinegar

~~~

Main Course

Fillet of Beef and Roasted New Potatoes with Rosemary, green beens and carrots in a red wine jus

~~~

Pudding

Valhrona Chocolate Mousse with Pink Grapefruit Salad

~~~

Petit Fours

Handmade Champagne Chocolate Truffles

To top the evening off, Bear also gave me a set of Marc Jacobs "Daisy" (my favourite) - goodies that included: perfume, lotion, shower gel and that oversized ring that cleverly contains the Daisy perfume, allowing you to 'top up' when you're out.

Unconditional love and new jumper

On days when Sean is off nursery I like to dress Sean smart. Like today. Here in his new jumper.
Did I mention how much I love this boy?!

Shades of red

Sean playing with the heart shaped helium balloon, dressed in the appropriate colour for the day

A spectacular and simply stunning bouquet of two dozen red roses delivered to me this morning from my Bear

Happy Valentine's Day to you all - have a splendid day!
XOXO

Sushi on Sunday

As our little man is sleeping, Bear and I are taking the opportunity to grab some lunch in Selfridges food hall, after browsing furniture upstairs.

Kate Moss for Longchamp





I'm loving a very blonde Kate Moss in Longchamp's Spring/Summer 2011 campaign! I do have a travel holdall from Longchamp but after seeing her handbag designs, I am getting really tempted!
