daylesford summer festival.

I have kind of been obsessed with the Daylesford cafes/shops in London for quite sometime so when I heard that they hold an annual Summer Festival at their farm in Gloucestershire, I knew I had to go. And it was the most awesome day ever! The property is insanely gorgeous, with the prettiest kitchen garden, a day spa and a cafe/farmshop serving their beautiful produce.

The festival offered farm tours, cooking demonstrations, an awesome jazz band, a dog show (which I missed unfortunately), the chance to meet all their farm animals, delicious stalls of the yummiest kinds of food, a sausage sizzle, cider tasting (so yum!), a demonstration on sheep shearing (that was so cool!), among so many other awesome things. The day was just perfect! I just love days like this so much, where you can feel the excitement of getting outdoors and appreciating good honest food. It is what life is about, in my opinion anyway :)

If you're in England then make sure you get to Daylesford for their summer festival next year! I assure you, you will love it! I'm planning on when I can get a chance to take George there for one of their 'Supper at the Farm' that they host every Friday and Saturday evening.

weekend in daylesford and hampstead.

Weekends like this...I can hardly find the words! It was sensational. I spent majority of it outdoors which I think was why I loved it so much. It started with a spontaneous little BBQ on Friday night. Then, on Saturday, I got up super early to make my way (via train) into the countryside. I caught the train from Paddington to Kingham and then walked 50 minutes through rolling hills and windy roads to Daylesford Organic farm for their Summer Festival. It took me 3hrs 40mins to get there from door-to-door but I cannot even begin to tell you how worth it it was. The farm is out-of-this-world stunning and the Summer Festival was the most adorably British day ever! I cannot wait to share more in tomorrows post.

Yesterday, I spent the day in the countryside of London (a.k.a Hampstead Heath) with the beautiful Tania! We met in Hampstead village and chatted for hours over a delicious lunch at Ginger & White, before heading to the heath to aimlessly stroll around. The day ended on an absolute perfect note with a glass of wine and the yummiest of desserts at Aubaine. Absolute perfection!

Unfortunately George had to study all weekend long, but the great thing is that he finally finishes his exams on Wednesday! Neither of us can hardly wait! It will be the perfect excuse for a huge celebration! I'm already getting insanely excited! But before I get carried away, how was your weekend? Happy Monday, hope everyone has had a great start to the week!
