Homewood Park, A Fabulous Treat

We were very lucky to have a spontaneous Sunday lunch at the delightful Homewood Park just outside Bath last weekend. Entering the hotel via a quaint old, windy drive and being greeted by some lovely welcoming staff, it wasn't long before we were quaffing a glass of lovely Champagne and making some tough decisions from a hugely tempting menu. As I don't eat meat, I opted for a smoked haddock rarebit with chowder to start, followed by pan fried sea bream with Nicoise vegetables. For dessert (I simply couldn't resist), I had an utterly divine pecan pie with honey marshmallow covered in cocoa nibs and home made caramel ice-cream. Yum yum! Every dish was totally delicious and inspiring, including the freshly made, still warm bread served up on a slate and the cute petite fours which consisted of macaroons, truffles and jellies. I also had to post a couple of photo's of my dining companions choices too, to show the perfect roast beef and trio of rhubarb desserts. An experience to cherish. I hope to return again soon.

Art Deco Darling

I picked up this really cute Art Deco inspired necklace at H&M over the weekend which happily rested on my coffee table like it was just always meant to be. It also looks rather good with a nice cosy jumper too.

Daffodils

Daffodils are great, all bright and cheery. They make me long for fresh Spring days and dazzling sunshine.

Glittery Nails

Armed with a £2 off voucher for Essie nail polish, I headed to Boots this weekend where this glittery, glimmering silver nail polish took my fancy. Essie have some great shades which they are constantly updating with the latest seasonal trends. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Fish And Chips

A celebratory meal last week meant beer battered hake and chips at The Mud Dock and very nice it was too!
