London

Yesterday I had to go to London to sort out some bureaucracy stuff for
my passport.

Let me tell you that it is quite an experience every time I have to go to 
the Italian Consulate.

There's always some sort of argument involved (and lot of gesticulation).
Then I met Fanja.

We spent a couple of hours shopping for fabric, chatting and scoffing
delicious orchid tea and french macaroons in a Japanese tea room in Soho. 

 

The back entrance of Liberty from Carnaby Street

has been decorated  in tana lawn.

The sales assistant that cuts the fabric 

has never changed in ten years I shop there.

 

Window display for Alexander McQueen

and a special bouquet of flowers

el campo

Our shared allotment.

So far we planted some onions, leeks, and other vegetables that I forgot about. 

We are all newbies so we rely on trial and error really and sometimes

on tips of allotment veterans.

Finished.

book, soup, paper

I bought this cotton silk fabric.

I'll use a pattern from the stylish dress book. 

Although is written in Japanese (which I can't read) 

I find that the patterns are straightforward and very clear.

The only food I can eat these days are soups,
I'm making a new soup everyday.
Today I cooked

saffron and Jerusalem artichoke soup 
I used vegetable broth instead and no almonds.

Quite delicious.
