Every three or four days of heavy rains we see a glimpse of sun.
And on that rare occasion I run in the garden to take a pic
of the white lavender plants.

I have three of them one type is called "Arctic snow" and the
other one is called "Pretty Polly", they smell like lavender
but with a accent of mint. I bought mine during a trip to
Norfolk, you can easily find them in any Lavender catalogue.

A couple of days ago I had a little party with my girlfriends,
it was supposed to be a garden party instead we stayed in because it was raining buckets! (and still is)

I made some "tapas" following some recipes from Moro cookbooks
and non alcoholic fruit cocktail, it was nice.

Beautiful - both the lavender and your tapas! I'd love to go to Moro too...
Thank you Lottie :-)
I made more tapas than the one showed there: queso manchego y membrillo, focaccia, bruschetta etc but the pictures weren't that good!
I dont' know Moro cookbooks, it seems great ! thanks for sharing ! your fruit cocktail makes me want a big glass of it !
Hello little Lily among the tapas ;-)
Ah and your white lavender ... I'm in love with it ! don't find one yet ...
Have a lovely day L. x

I have that ice-cube tray! I like to think one day I will make mini-jellies with it. Lovely photos.

Little Lili bring smiles to anyone that sees it, thank you :-)
Only the feeling, this year summer doesn't want to come!
Hello Lois, definitely a good idea, I was thinking of putting edibles flowers or berries + water and make cute ice cubes too.
looks like the perfect way to spend the afternoon.
would love to send you sun- but still waiting here as well. :)

Thank you Jane!
It' s the worst Summer ever I could remember! :-(
miam des tapas ;)
des petits morceaux de citron dans les glaçons et des tranches de concombre dans l'eau fraîche, ça fait été aussi (en attendant qu'il arrive!)
bises, S.
You make me hungry with your pics!
A little bit of summer thanks to you :-)
lovely lovely lovey!
It is strange about the rain, although I try not to think about it. However, there's no swimming, no enjoying the garden and my legs could easily be called 'arctic snow' as well.
As always, I like everything I see, especially the tapas (which I've never had). Maybe I just need the coockbook and a bit more imagination.

Your lavender looks amazing! Now I'm super curious about the Moro cookbooks. I'm kinda addicted to cookbooks, but I'm not familiar with Moro. Off to check it out.
Hello Camila, I' m so enthusiat about Moro cookbooks that I now have all of them. I love Moro East and Casa Moro especially. Thank you :-)
Ah Lilli, same here.Lavender duslike too wet feet, poor, every glimpse of sun is so so apreciate!
Do please try tapas, I love them since I was a kid, we made a lot at home and it was about sharing, chatting and make life a bit savoury and fun.
Oh Severine I bet you had the chance to savour the real thing lately ;-)
Iust try cucumber+water+ice sounds very refreshing...first we need a bit of warm weather though! Finger crossed the mild winter in summer is finally leaving us!
Thanks Madame!
