Now that the days are noticeably longer, I'm feeling hopeful that spring is around the corner. And it's funny how food cravings adjust to the seasons. I'm stilling cooking a lot of warming and comforting foods (as temperatures are still cold!) but fewer stodgy, rich and heavy meals. Food is such an integral part of life that it makes sense your tastes should adjust to the environment, don't you think?

Personally... 📝

We were on holiday in the New Forest last week, which is known for the wild donkeys and ponies that roam the land. Here are just a couple that we came across!

Wishing you a lovely weekend.
