I have more photographs sharing how our local businesses in Wimbledon Village are embracing the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. My first photo today is from the business at Number 22 High Street, Phoenix Style, who sell pre-loved designer goods. It took me a while to understand their display, but of course they must be the wings …

Pimm’s Trifles

Every summer, we have been making Pimm's punch and Pimm's trifle for as long as I can remember. But I do adore the idea of these little individual trifles, which can be served in small glasses or empty jars. When I made this batch of trifle, we had to cater for young children, so I …

Feeling Like A Number One

When I saw today's Song Lyric Sunday theme, which is: Hidden Gems: great songs that missed the top of the charts ...I was stumped. I am afraid I just had no ideas come to mind. So I asked the worldwide web for assistance. Sure enough there were sites that listed songs that allegedly did not …

Courgette, Pea And Ricotta Conchiglioni

Greens with pasta make for a delightfully fresh tasting summer supper. We made this a few times last year and I am sure that with the coming warmer months ahead, it will make a return to our dinner table. This is a recipe from a Waitrose magazine, but by the looks of the photo below, …

So If You’re Crazy, I Don’t Care, You Amaze Me

Jim has chosen a fantastic theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday, giving me many songs to choose from. I have chosen a song from a band introduced to me by some friends who lived with his for a few months over the winter. I had no idea that The Fratellis were from Glasgow, Scotland. This …
