Cover Girl on Grill

Copyright2015LucyLean-I made the cover – no not Vogue like my sister asked  – but Grill magazine – and when you are Girl & Grill this is like being an architect and making the cover of Dwell or a designer making the cover of Interiors.

Copyright2015LucyLean-50We had such a great day shooting this – thank you to everyone who made it look so beautiful – DCS appliances for the beautiful outdoor kitchens and grill, Lisa Fiori for the gorgeous sunflowers, Ellen and Marissa at Hedley and Bennett for coordinating my gorgeous sunny yellow apron, Nathan at McCalls for always supplying me with the best quality meat and seafood and Kathy at Vintageweave for the gorgeous oversized ice bucket – much needed for the large quantities of pink bubbles and the beautiful Marie Antoinette coupes!

Now about those shrimp skewers – or as I like to call them I’ll be with you in the squeezing of a grilled lemon:

Devein the shrimp by running a sharp knife along spine and then pulling out the yucky grey vein.  In a shallow bowl marinate the shrimp in a mixture of marin and a little rice vinegar. Fire up the grill and get it nice and hot.  On a skewer alternate shrimp and lemon wedges.  Turn the heat down to medium and place the skewers on for a couple of minutes until the shrimp turns pink and turn and grill the other side.

Serve immediately, remove from skewer and squeeze the grilled lemon over the top.

Then here’s the best part – invite friends over to enjoy around the fire pit – with a glass of Billecart Salmon rosé kept cold in ice from the new DCS ice maker contained in a beautiful bucket from Vintageweave. I feel that Didier is kneeling in full proposal mode but actually he’s looking the refrigerator for another bottle of bubbles!

Always chasing rainbows 🌈 woke up to this odd l Always chasing rainbows 🌈 woke up to this odd light and thought if the sun just came up and it’s raining there must be a rainbow 🌈 and sure enough there it is! New administration and a new day for America and the world #GoJoe #GoKamala #MadameVicePresident
I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watc I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth.  #WutheringHeights #EmilyBronte the in between - How it started How it ended - bedroom monochromatic light at 7am this morning to 7pm tonight and cocktail time with Tink gin and @david_austin_roses post parents evening and then in the middle I went on a walk with @chloescotland - actually it was an adventure to find the prettiest 13th century church with a moat and a graveyard filled with snowdrops and the tiniest grave - a child? And headstones that were leaning over - I thought tipsy Chloe thought giving up and I was reminded of the Brontë passage about #unquietslumbers #ghostsinmygarden swop harebells for snowdrops - the peace and quiet of a tiny graveyard with a moat and lopsided headstones and peace and quiet - a moment of calm and hope as the #inauguration looms large and as we keep to the rules of lockdown #stayhome #staysafe
Anxiety levels have been high these last few weeks Anxiety levels have been high these last few weeks and just when you think it can’t get any worse it does - Covid levels rising and hospitals dealing with record numbers of very unwell patients, a third lockdown and schools going online and exams cancelled, then there was the runoff in Georgia 💙 overshadowed by the insurrection in D.C. which led to the swift impeachment (again), there’s the excitement of Joe Biden’s inauguration that is being sucked away by the pandemic, the rise of white supremacy with troops guarding the Capitol and ever present fear.  But through it all we have to have hope - for the vaccine, for the teachers helping our kids learn online, for the nurses and doctors working against the odds, for M&S and Ocado deliveries,for a new administration, for arrests of violent rioters, for congress doing its job and for decency to be about to be sworn in.  It’s a lot and we all struggle daily to keep our heads above water.  On a personal level I find painting helps, as do walks in nature and family suppers, I’m wearing pretty dresses, silk underwear and wrapping myself in soft cashmere and yes I’m consuming more champagne than I usually do - if not now then when?  #Lockdown #Stayhome #staysafe #EnglishCountryHouse #EnglishCountryside
#snowdrops went for a walk to search for snowdrops #snowdrops went for a walk to search for snowdrops today - last year the lawn was carpeted in white, this year nothing.  Maybe they are late? Painted a small bunch #oilpaint #flowerpainting #snowdroppainting a sign of #spring I chickened out of painting the tiny glass jug that was a Christmas present - not sure I know how to paint that aqua colour - help!  #EnglishCountryhouse #EnglishCountryGarden #englishcountryside #Lockdown #Staysafe #stayhome
Frosted primroses #oilpainting sketch #sundaysketc Frosted primroses #oilpainting sketch #sundaysketch - we haven’t had snow but this magical frozen landscape is a beautiful alternative - painting again because that’s what got me through the last lockdown #painting #Englishcountryhouse #Englishcountryside #frost #ice #lockdown #staysafe #stayhome
#Lockdown weekend post a crazy time in the world o #Lockdown weekend post a crazy time in the world of #covid #brexit #onlineschool  #Georgia and then the #insurrection in D.C. I took it easy today - I tidied and cleaned #declutter #springcleaning I even cleaned out the #snack cupboard and found the plates I bought and had put in a safe place @jimbobart and made a couple of loaves of @richardbertinet #sourdough ready to wake up and bake tomorrow xxx #stayhome #staysafe #EnglishCountryHouse #Englishinteriors #Georgian #architecture
