A SUNNY SATURDAY

 After a lot of rainy days lately (and I mean a LOT)  it was so nice to see the sun shine for the entire weekend ....

 I had some friends over for lunch on Saturday ....
It was so nice to be able to sit on the deck instead of inside .....




  Just before everyone arrived I spotted this little gatecrasher eyeing off the bread ....




 ..... he was quite happy to pose for the camera, and stuck around for a while until my dogs spotted him and chased him away !!!
 
 It was such a nice afternoon, good company, good food and wine (I always forget to take more photos once everyone arrives) ..... but it was lovely, and my friend informs me she is off to New York for 2 months so that was exciting news, she's in the process of looking for accommodation, she did love this loft when I showed her (but if anyone has any tips on good places to rent let us know)

 Oh and it was nice to see the jasmine vine starting to bud .....

.... can't wait to smell it in full bloom soon !!!

wow what a lovely weekend indeed! check out that gorgeous sourdough bread. a friend brought some too today for some nice lunch. must share with you my full proof easy peasy risotto where you let the oven do the work. i love the little styling you did too. I am sure that Kinfolk Magazine will be interested in your little small gathering. it's a publication that is quite new I love it so much for its simplicity. http://www.kinfolkmag.com/.

What a lovely setting for lunch...no wonder that little bird wanted to stay.

Yum, Luisa's easy peasy risotto recipe would be fun for all of us.
