Artichoke flowers
How is your week? Rainy? Still en vacances? Mine has been busy and also included 2 interviews about my blog after a surprise article in the newspaper last weekend. Fun!

Blueberries and pinkberries
It's August! Can you believe it? These are some pictures of the 63 blueberries before I turned them into yogurt granola bars.

Frozen Indian Cress
Do you recognize this? That you want to try something because you saw it somewhere, without knowing where you saw it? That's what happened to me last week when I wanted to freeze a bunch of Indian cress flowers. One of my Nasturtium plants is growing so fast that we can't keep up eating flowers Read article…
Lago views
Next week I'll be in London and because I expect it to be quite an urban trip, I'm "virtually" preparing myself with some airy views from our #blago2014 adventure. I love these pale blues at the Lago Maggiore and the Lago d'Orta at this time of the year. As well as the eternal snow on Read article…
