Lights, Camera, Action!
From a professional Airbnb photoshoot of the gîte and our wonderful farm experience, to the wild bees happily taking over our hives – it’s been quite a month!
Come and take a peek behind the scenes

Classic Hollandaise Sauce
If there’s one sauce that makes everything feel a little bit special, it’s hollandaise. Rich, creamy and utterly indulgent, I’m thinking of doing something like this as one of the markey day Brunch options. What do you think?
Spring Planting At The Farm
We’ve been making the most of every window of good weather to get planting. This past month has been all about getting creative, practical, and a little bit resourceful in the garden and greenhouse.
Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus & Crab Meat
This recipe from the legendary Michel Roux, takes the humble scrambled egg and transforms it into something rather spectacular. Decadent? Absolutely. Worth every second? Try it yourself and let me know.
Seeds, Joy, and Growing What You Love
My theme this year is sow and grow what you love, because if you love what you’re growing, naturally you put more care into it. Cooking something I love, I will put my heart and soul into it. For me, gardening is exactly the same.
Get Creative With Mayonnaise!
If you have never made your own mayo, I promise, once you get the hang of it, it’s incredibly easy! I use a handy little mixer that makes it practically foolproof, but any electric blender could probably do the job.
Spring Preparation
As winter loosens its grip, the farm buzzes with preparation for spring. From composting and tending peonies to protecting chickens from predators, we’re busy laying the groundwork for a thriving season ahead.
Crêpes: Versatile & Effortless
Making crêpes is a wonderful way to bring the family together – kids and adults love helping make them and picking their toppings. Whether sweet or savoury, these French treats are a real crowd-pleaser!
Truffle Scrambled Eggs
There’s something comforting about scrambled eggs – but add a little black truffle, and WOW!. The beauty of this recipe is in its simplicity: creamy eggs, gentle heat, and a touch of earthy truffle. Bon appétit !
Memorable Moments 2025
We take so many photos – far too many, if I’m honest. Looking back at 2025, it’s not just the animals or the flowers that fill my mobile phone, but the laughter and warmth of friends and family, too.
