Today’s January dreaming post is about the very simple but enormously satisfying routine of having pre-dinner appetizers in our backyard space called the Tree House (with food pics!).

January dreaming about a wonderful charcuterie “picnic” we enjoyed at a pub in Holland Park with goodies from Borough Market in July of 2023.

A well-timed comment from another blogger helped me realize that it’s ok to be a foodie-blogger-storyteller person with a unique and real message – even though my food isn’t art.

Instagram food pics by Carl the Roaster remind me of a lovely charcuterie board at the Gatehouse in London’s Highgate area.
