52 Weeks of Happy (17/52)





Week 17 of 52 Weeks of Happy and it has been a week of simple pleasures, kindness and thoughtfulness. Here goes... 

♥ Neighbourhood snow clearing. Also, my Mum and Dad have been touched by their neighbours offering to do a little shopping for them. Thank you.

♥ Snowy walks and the beauty of nature. I have taken so many photos it's embarrassing.

♥ The hug in a mug that is homemade hot chocolate with a dash of brandy. Delish. 

♥ Quiche Lorraine (more cream, oh dear). I finally made a dish from Rachel Koo's The Little Paris Kitchen. Somewhat improvised as I ran out of plain flour and so used a combi of gluten free flour and SR flour and also substituted double cream/crème fraiche with whipping cream. Other than that I did follow the recipe and it worked out well. Phew... happy relief.

Oh and thank you for all reading and leaving such kind comments recently.

  1. Snow is good on your side, I love your happy this week! Keep warm and enjoy a few more hot chocolates and extra cheese and cream dishes (we'll blame the cold weather for it, I do anyway)! /maria x

  6. First two pictures show an interesting perception issue with the snow:
    * You can either view it as a break from the routine and making everything look different/pretty and welcome/enjoy it.
    * Or you can get all moody about it, complaining that 'they' haven't sorted out the roads/pavements/schools etc. that it is disrupting your normal routine, that food is running out etc.
    Enjoy the change!
