A little about me..

I thought I would write a little about myself by way of introduction. My name is Lilly and I currently live in 450 year old, Grade II listed wonky cottage which has always been a dream of mine. I adore the countryside, green is my favourite colour and I'm obsessed with cow parsley. There's just something about the rolling fields, the bleating lambs, and the daft pheasants that feeds my soul. Not to mention when you can hear the steam train chuffing past...

I love taking photos, when Im out walking my rambunctious cockapoo Rosie or when I am visiting Historic Houses, flower fields and quintessential British villages. I would, one day, love to provide photos for magazines like Country Living and Conde Nast. I can spend hours getting lost in their images. 

I'm a hopeless romantic and love reading Jilly Cooper and any book that involves moving to Paris and falling in love.

I love to cook and therefore I like to eat! My top dishes would be Beef welly and profiteroles with cream, NOT custard.

I'm an avid National Trust member, my head is always filled with travel itineraries and any time I go away I will spend hours researching the best places to eat and the best photography hot spots.

I love Stevie Wonder songs as they never fail to make me smile and on the rare occasions that I do sit down to watch TV my go to is always Miss Marple and Rosemary & Thyme.

Despite all of the above leading you to think I am 92 and retired, I'm 38 and work full time. I decided to set up this blog as a little corner of the internet for me so that I can keep all my favourite recipes, photos and trips in one place. I'm having a lot of fun creating it, so if anyone is reading it, I hope you enjoy it!
