A bit of sunny Easter Sunday tree climbing on Hampstead Heath. Hope you are all having a glorious day.
Walk through Regent's Park this afternoon. Did I mention that I am obsessed with spring flora? Feel a bit giddy with it.
Couldn't resist cutting a little branch of plum blossom from the garden to bring spring into the kitchen. And there is a tiny jar with a broken off hyacinth flower in too.
I just made roasted butternut squash houmous from scratch. It is packed with wholesome nutritious ingredients, and it tastes okayish, but actually not nearly as nice as the tub of @tescofood houmous I usually buy. And the kids probably won't eat it because it's lumpy.
This has to make Monday morning better, right? Right?
Vaccine selfie! Feeling quite overwhelmed and emotional (apart from anything else I am very needle phobic!), but so thankful for science and all the wonderful human beings who have developed and delivered this vaccine.
