Isn’t it wonderful how seasonal fruit matches its season? What can cheer a room up more on a gray and dull day than a bowl of beautiful bright yellow lemons?

Christmas.

It’s everywhere.

In shops, in windows, in pubs in bars. I’ve been so busy being a mom and looking after a sick little one that I didn’t notice the, well, advent of Advent. Christmas Spirit – continue reading…
