#Yellow, it’s #Spring! Gotta admire the blooms around England at the moment 💛

Thank you @pbs.org !!!!! 🤍🤍🤍 to.pbs.org/3XNZR6C #HandsOff #PBSTheBest

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @pbsnews.org Please cover the #HandsOff event happening in Boston!

Obsessing over my new flowerbed. The purple and white crocuses have bloomed and gone early but my tulip claudias are growing nicely and we’ve recently put in lavender, lemon thyme, and ladybird poppies which should be all lovely next #Spring! #Flowers #Gardening #MyEnglishGarden

#Flashes was being a bit buggy a few days ago. So hopefully this post about a delicious dinner we’ve had in a restaurant straight out of the #TudorTimes goes through the algorithm 🤭 #DateNights

Our handsome boy, our “Baby All Day” 🤭😻 #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyKitties #FluffyCats #Furbabies

Through the fields, over a brook, and down country lanes 🤍 Truly loving where we currently live. #Sundays #BikeRides #NatureTrip #SpringLike

A #treat: Scrumptious flourless #brownie with hazelnut milk (which I think is my most fave #nutmilk!)🤎

Lush weather this weekend so it was jam packed with activities 🤭: #Breakfast at Broadway, a #bikeride through ancient woodland, and two #footy games this International Women’s Day weekend 💜🤍 #Weekends #WomensFootball #Sunshine

Around these parts where we currently live, takeaway places are few and far between so we’re quite excited to have found a really good place to get amazing Nepalese and Indian food 😍 #FridayTakeaway #IndianFood #NepaleseFood #Delicious #Curry #SaagPaneer 💚

#Bowling Night with the K&C team 🎳 I was rubbish on the first game but got into the swing of things in the second round 🤭 I do like bowling, it’s quite fun. #TenPin

Opted for something #lowcarb for #ShroveTuesday this year 🤭 Ingredients below make 6 (2.4g of carbs/pancake): 125g ground almonds 1 tsp baking powder A pinch of salt 2 eggs 80ml almond milk (I used #Califia’s organic unsweetened) Cook #pancakes with butter or fat of choice. Enjoy! #Breakfast

More #flowers to balance the grid 🤭🌷 This colour palette is so pretty 😍 #Tulips #SpringFlowers #Flashes

D and I finally get to chill a little so we treated ourselves to a #SushiNight: Salmon Nigiri, Spicy Salmon Crunch Roll, and Dynamite Roll 🍣 And chocolate #mochi for afters 😍 #Sushi #FridayFeels #ChillDay

My lovely #crocus flowers. Get in, #Spring 🌸🌷🌼

Something #cheerful. Can’t wait for #Spring!🌼 . #Yellow #Bright #Daffs #Daffodils #Flowers #FreshFlowers #KitchenWindow

This scenery near our house is giving #Windows95 wallpaper energy 🤭 #IYKYK #BlueSkiesBebe #FreshAir #EnglishCountryside #ThisView

I now have my own #ManekiNeko! An advanced V Day’s gift from the hubbs. It was a fun build and an adorable decor for our dinner this #LunarNewYear ✨Xin Nian Kuai Lei! 🎊

Can’t wait for the @flashesapp.bsky.social to happen ✨💙

Post footy #treat: Halo Top’s peanut butter ice cream and a piece of our homemade flourless fudge brownie 🤎 So good!

Action packed weekend ✨ Played left wing for the New Dales Vale Women’s Vets FC. Sleet, hail, lots of mud and the opposition played with great tenacity but we came out winners, 5-1!🤍 #WomensFootball #SundayFooty #Endorphins #Adrenaline

And my contribution to #FungiFriday 🤭🍄‍🟫 #FunkyFungi

D made superb chicken fajitas for dindin as a treat cos I’ve been working hard lately 🤭 Also, gotta say these protein wraps by Deli Kitchen are a game changer. This meal was worth today’s 5K walk+errands 😃 #LowCarb #FridayFajitas #Yummers

Explored more of the hills and fields near our new home during today’s run. My photos don’t do the #views justice, so very excited to see it in the Spring/Summer season✨ #Nature #FreshAir #EnglishCountryside

#LowCarb treat 💖 These brownies are made of almond flour, 85% dark chocolate, cocoa powder, eggs, butter, and chopped dates. D said we have to tweak the recipe a bit more but at 3.4g of carbs per serving, it’s not bad at all for when craving for #chocolate 🤭

My favourite #ComfortMeal lately: Scottish salmon pan-seared in avocado oil, garlicky Scottish mussels, steamed pak choi, and a cup of jasmine rice 😍 #HomecookedMeals #RiceIsLife #MealsOfBlueSky ? Lol

Just adding to the #JustCatsAndDogs for now posts on my feed cos we need some cheering up💙

Yes 💙🦋

The Holiday Spirit is full on in the Cotswolds 🌟 #ChristmasSeason #FestiveSeason #Sparkle

First #Thanksgiving in our forever home 🧡 It bears repeating that we are grateful for each other and for everything. Warmest wishes to our family and friends in America and those that celebrate this season of giving. #Celebrations2024 #TurkeyDay #EverythingsGourd

Countryside views. Yes, this is home now✨ #BlueSky #Gloaming #Dusk #Twilight #EnglishCountryside

A favourite moment I got to capture over a decade ago. A piece of my heart will always belong to #California. #Sunsets #Dusk #OmbreSkies #SantaMonicaPier #Beaches

🎶Let the sunshine… let the sunshine in…🎶 🌞 Beads. Flowers. Freedom. Happiness. We could all take a lesson from #Hair ☮️🕊️ #Musicals #Peace #WeekendWatch

Today’s #ComfortFood: Conchiglie, knob of butter, grated grana padano, thyme, and chives. #Pasta #AlDente #SaturdaySupper #SimplePleasures

Finally had the time to watch the film adaptation of one of my favourite books. I can still remember reading #AreYouThereGodItsMeMargaret and how much it resonated to me as a young person that grew up in a home ran by two religions amongst other “growing pains”. #JudyBlume is a timeless storyteller.

Current read as my fluffy companion snoozes away ✨ #AgathaChristie #Biographies #Bibliophile #HomeThings #PlumLand

Just a cute little #terrarium 🧡 It’s almost the weekend✨ #MiniPlants #HomeThings #Glass
