Have a calm weekend + links

A crazy week, with riots, being sent home from work, community solidarity and clean-up, empty streets, and then, quickly, everything seemingly back to normal... Hoping for a calm weekend, hope you have one too.

I love the wrapping paper! AND the pretty little PEI cottage. I was there once, and I imagined Gilbert pretty much everywhere! Swoon. It's the loveliest little island.

Well that video for beetroot cake is just beautiful. Peaceful, elegant, and a reminder of the small things in life after such a crazy week. Hope all ok your end.

p.s you're right service is v. bad a Dishoom pop up, I much prefer the actual restaurant on St Martins Lane. But I like sitting on the Southbank, pretending I'm in India!

Can I please live in that cottage? I love the Anne books :) I was a bit enraged this week to find out that someone has written a book called 'Before Green Gables'.

I have had a very calm weekend, hop you have too :)

Beautiful cottage! I've always wanted to visit PEI after loving the Anne books but worry it won't be like it is in my head!
