- Beach hut life. Who would have thought a brightly painted wooden shed could give so much joy? As they say it's location, location. Part of the fun is finding things to go in it. I have finally found a base for the cooker - for the last two years I have had to stand on a stool to boil the kettle or cook. It just needs painting and a few alterations. #beachhut #lifebythesea #seaview @juliavhill and @texascheffie this is the inside of mine looking out to sea.Am I the only one that finds going into make up shops a little daunting? A couple of days ago I plucked up the courage and booked a make up class with Sophie at MAC. I could tell write volumes on how fab she was but I think the results are best summed up by the way my husband's face lit up when he saw me and my friend who said she had to do a double take to check it was me, says it all. We all need a Sophie in our lives and MAC you need to know you have an absolute diamond working as a make up artist in Covent Garden called Sophie. #maccosmetics #makeuptutorial #makeup #makeupartistCoffee and cake - these days it seems to have replaced tea and cake. I have been AWOL due to life's demands and haven't had time to post. Gail's sticky coconut and passion fruit cake. Other than the little seeds on top it was heaven on a plate. #coconutpassionfruitcake #gailsbakery #coffeeandcakeFish and chips have really come up in the world - as has the price! The fish and batter of the plate above were excellent, the chips not so much so and that's the bit I just don't get. Two ingredients - is it so hard to get them right? I would have happily given up the green sprinkles and even the lemon (although though I am quite partial to lemon with my fish) if it didn't leave me disappointed and cheated. I have eaten some great fish and chips in my time - on street corners, sitting on walls and even huddled in the back of my parents car and they all tasted good. So it's not impossible. Let's have some fish and chip quality control please and let's get some passion back into what is a great dish. #fishandchips
