Finally May has got it’s act together, just in time for June. Sunshine ☀️, I love you. But no hotter than 26 degrees in London please. Otherwise I might be melting in the kitchen like this ice cream 🍦. 📸 @hannahte_photo , styling 🙋🏼‍♀️, props by @lmproppingaround 🍴. 💗

@belazu_co have done it again. Yet another fantastic product that will liven up many a dish! Sweet, spicy 🌶 goodness. Yum 😋. New work with @joslaborda on 📸.

Ahhh crumbs, the cakes are all gone! 🍒 🍓 🍷The last in a very creative test, this may be my favourite shot weirdly. It was so fun to get messy and have complete freedom. The props became the hero’s which I love. Photo by @beccihutchingsphotography and fab props from @maxwhrobinson with many from the wonderful @kchossack_pottery 💗. Pretty fluted edges of dreams 🙏🏻. Food styling (of sorts) by me!

Which one is your flavour? Mint choc chip, salted caramel, strawberry, vanilla or chocolate? I’m mint choc chip all the way 💚. I’m hoping if I keep posting pictures of ice cream the sun will come back 🙏🏻☀️. Photos by @hannahte_photo and props by @lmproppingaround 🍨.

Got the post bank holiday blues. Need chocolate ice cream 🍫 🍦, preferably on a beach. Another in our ice cream series, definite chocoholic territory! @hannahte_photo 📸 and @lmproppingaround on props 🍴.

Rain rain go away, don’t you know it is May? Ice cream is still happening though, Strawberry 🍓, to be exact. My fave from a test with @hannahte_photo on 📸 and @lmproppingaround on props 🍴. Ice cream 4 LYF 🍦.

Anyone else all about the ice cream 🍦 this bank holiday? Testing with @hannahte_photo on 📸 and @lmproppingaround on props 🍴, food styling 🙋🏼‍♀️ . This really got me in the mood for the sunny weekend ☀️.

I don’t know about you, but all this sunshine ☀️ has got me craving rosé and summer cocktails. Another from our recent test @beccihutchingsphotography 📸 and @maxwhrobinson props🥄. Here’s to week two of being able to drink outside on restaurant terraces, and PUBS! 🤩

Pink Doughnuts 🍩, from our recent test because it’s sunny ☀️ and these are really making me want to get a doughnut and sit in the sunshine. Also, I love pink 💗, in case you hadn’t noticed already. @maxwhrobinson prop styling & @beccihutchingsphotography 📸.

Obligatory hot cross bun post. Happy Easter 🐣☀️. Will be eating hot cross buns made by others all weekend because it’s been a busy 2 weeks (not complaining) and I intend to forgo cooking until Sunday, when it’s slow roast lamb on the menu. These were made by me in lockdown 1.0, sticky and sweet- just the way they should be. ❤️
