We’ve woken up to glorious sunshine again today and it looks like it’ll stay for the rest of the week 😊
It was a weekend of flowers and flour for me. We visited some beautiful bluebell woods on Saturday. I love this time of year!
The photo doesn’t really do it justice, it really was a carpet of blue and absolutely gorgeous. Perfect dog walking country.
Then on Sunday I went to a cooking academy for a class in how to make pasta
It was in a lovely location, about half an hour from me, in a courtyard filled with sculptures and individual studios for potters, artists and a bakery. I have no photos as I was either busy making or eating pasta! Everyone left their phones in a different room and it was great to see everyone totally engrossed in the class with no interruptions. We made a basic dough and turned it into ravioli, spaghetti and tagliatelle. We also made three different sauces, carbonara,arrabiata and Alfredo, then it was lunchtime and we sampled everything we had made. Such a fun day.
Today is normal routine after the Easter break, with pilates to start with. My arms are aching from all that kneading of the pasta dough so I'm hoping she will go easy on us! I'm hoping we will go to Cambridge one day this week as I have a few birthday presents to buy and it's nice to look round some of the little individual shops there.
No other firm plans for the days ahead but as the weather forecast is good I'm planning to just take each day as it comes and do a little bit more work in the garden. Or maybe sitting in the garden watching Paul do the work 😉

I think that getting to spend a day learning to make pasta would be great fun. Pasta is a favourite in our house. I'm excited to hear that the new season of Grace has been released - it shouldn't be too long before we get this side of the pond. Just started a new series, I, Jack Wright, which has several prime actors from Grace in this series.
