Autumn Picnic At The Farm

Good morning my dears. Hope you slept well.

Here's a little Pinterest inspiration for you to start your day with.

Our autumn weather has been unseasonably warm. Over 90 degrees most days.

However, it was a little more breezy on Saturday afternoon, so we went to the farm and had an autumn picnic. I used my phone to serenade us by one of my favorites - Doris Day (the song will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside).

For the floral arrangement I used greenery from our garden, with autumn rod and Kenyan roses.

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

(with candy corn pumpkins)

Cheddar and Golden Tomato Tea Sandwiches

(I added a slither of mayonnaise and a dash of cracked pepper)

Dirt Pudding

(Chocolate pudding with dark chocolate shavings and a sprig of mint)

Everything was simple and delicious.

We enjoyed talking about the past week and the week to come. We've been busy bees, as we approach week three of building our farmhouse.

So until next time, have a blessed week.

Good morning my dears.

Today, is the twentieth anniversary since Diana, Princess of Wales went home to the LORD. So, as a tribute, I thought I'd share some pictures we took earlier this summer, around what would've been her fifty-sixth birthday in the grounds of Kensington Palace, which she nicknamed "KP".

The Kensington Palace tea rooms and gift shop.

This year, the historic sunken gardens were planted in a simple white flora. Here's a list of all the flowers planted.

Memories from August 31st, 1997

The night before Diana, Princess of Wales died in a fatal car accident my sister and I had a sleepover in the living room. We were bundled up in our duvets, and makeshift beds from feather pillows.

Early the next morning, I turned on the television to watch one of my favorite cartoons, Madeline. Instead, channel, after channel had news reports that Diana, Princess of Wales was in a serious car accident.

Less than an hour later, I heard the news that she had died. She was four months younger than my mum, so to say I was in shock, is an understatement.

So I frantically ran into my mums bedroom and said: “Princess Diana is dead”. I have never seen my mum wake up so fast, taking a second to decide on my credibility. She leapt out of bed, put on her nightgown and walked into the living room where the news station repeated "Diana, Princess of Wales, died, aged 36..."

In the days, weeks, and months afterwards I think everyone was in shock, and because she was so young, I think that's why twenty years on she is still well-remembered.
