5 Sandwiches for Great British Sandwich Week
It’s Great British Sandwich Week from May 11 – 17. Here are a few of my favourite sarnies to celebrate!

A visit to Fish and Smith
Checking in to see what Fish and Smith has to offer today!

A visit to Borough Market today, something I’ve been looking forward to. I love meeting people who are passionate about the food they produce.
Lazy bank holiday Monday!
Another beautiful day, Lily takes in the spring air and the primroses look so lovely!
A few leftovers in the fridge from yesterday. Christopher can make his favourite brunch!

Going to style the roast on Jamie Oliver’s slow roast lamb, the twist is that the boys are home and are going to cook today!
