A Bloody Breakfast

LucyLean--2
Happy Halloween!  My list of a Thousand Things definitely includes dressing up and celebrating Halloween in weird and wonderful ways. To start the day of candy I felt it would be good to pack in a lot of fresh fruit and antioxidants for my two trick or treaters – and for me.

LucyLean-8003A simple ‘blood’ smoothie of frozen wild blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and bananas was the answer. Quickly blended in the Vitamix with a little water to get it to the right blood curdling consistency.

And then so as not to get labeled as the mean and healthy mom,  I served cake for breakfast – or more precisely Gravediggers cakes.

LucyLean-7992I scooped the left over chocolate caramel cake from Republique, my birthday cake, into cardboard cases and froze them ready for Halloween. Topped with these bones and gravestones from Wilton they make the perfect showstoppers – plus they are super easy and so delicious – well the cake part is – not sure you want to eat the sugar bones! For the party later I feel a little more blood might be needed – a quick fix with some red food coloring dotted onto the white bones.

The kit comes with a black pen and the kids had fun decorating their headstones… RIP Remy!

Next up 40 mummy dogs to take to Hedy’s party, along with the cakes – did I say how much I love Halloween?

It was a green weekend - the lawn of the quadrangle at Windsor Castle for Prince Philip’s funeral, green seedlings and pea shoots in the greenhouse, green Marley wallpaper from @colony.london, green ramps/wild garlic, green woodlands amd bluebell leaves, green tulips and green daffodils in sunshine and lastly rolling green lawns for children to run around and play on 💚 #springtime #englishcountryhouse #englishcountryside #englishcountrygarden

Happy #nationalgardeningday never happier than whe Happy #nationalgardeningday never happier than when the sun is out large puffy white clouds dot the forget me not blue sky and the birds are singing - today I did a lot of digging, planting, prepping and sowing seeds - lots of sweet peas peas mange-tout and butterfly 🦋 flowers oh and some sunflowers 🌻 and cornichon and salad box and tomato seedlings 🌱 doing really well. Like I said never happier than when I’m in the garden - and think the last photo took itself as I pushed the wheelbarrow of seedlings to the greenhouse from the Orangerie!!! #upsidedown
