The trough outside our showroom in Langton Street with its late Spring/early Summer planting of Geums and tulips together with the regeneration of the ferns. A cheerful welcome to @simonplayleltd #chelsea #spring #summer #destination #design
Our Daily Bread: A cream soup composed of artichokes, fennel, peas, potatoes, onions with a basis of ham stock garnished with chervil 'pluches' from the garden. #soup #ourdailybread #supper #cream #stock
This is what happens when one forgets about some hyacinths planted in the Autumn and left in their dark cool place until now. What a discovery! I quite like them — do you? #discover #spring #autumn #like #cool
Our Daily Bread: Easter Monday lunch of Salade Niçoise. I like to keep the ingedients fairly separate so one can help oneself to however much one wants of each one. Included here are French Beans, hardboiled duck eggs, anchovies, capers, potatoes, skinned tomatoes, skinned peppers, ted onions and good quality tuna. #easter #salad #france🇫🇷 #nice #lunch

Tulips and Bluebells (albeit Spanish) cut from the the garden photo-bombed by Cookie! I love orange and blue but as cats are sort of colour blind I'm not sure she appreciates the combination! #tulips #spring #colours #flowers #gardens
Our Daily Bread: Cabillaud en papiiillote' garnished with mussels. Onr of the easiest of dishes. Wonderful fresh cod from @rex.goldsmith sprinkled with seasoning, lemon juice, some dry vermouth and olive oil. Add a handful of clean mussels @rex.goldsmith again. Tie up in a bundle of grease proof paper and pop in to a hot oven fot about fifteen/twenty minutes. Once out of the oven open the parcel and smell the wonderful aroma of the riches of the sea! #fish #smell #supper #ourdailybread #dish
