Weekly Love: the one where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom

1. Blue skies and pink cherry blossoms on my daily power walk through Fulham. | 2. Turning to daily ice cold glasses of lemony peach iced tea after every walk. These Lipton cold brew tea bags are new in Sainsbury’s and while not as good as the old French Twinings ones that got discontinued they’re still quite good – I’ve also got a box of the mint ones to try so I’ll keep you posted! | 3. More fluffy cherry blossom, this time from our neighbours tree overhanging into our driveway in Kent. | 4. A super tasty salad lunch bowl of chermoula aubergine leftover from making my Chermoula Aubergine with Cucumber Pomegranate Salsa Bowls, muhmura dip from the So Vegan In 5 book I was given the other week (I don’t own any other vegan cookbooks and I’m not a vegan, but there are so many delicious looking ingredient recipes I want to make from it!) and some tabbouleh salad. | 5. Beautiful bright tulips for sale outside Parsons Green tube station. | 6. Pints and sloe gin & T’s in the pub garden.
