A belated Happy Birthday to me and a Happy Easter to everyone.  My Birthday dessert - Chocolate pudding with salted caramel and raspberry sorbet Lamb with asparagus - AMAZING Crispy Pork Beetroot Cured Salmon All pictures my own. Food courtesy of Morris Jones - Chapel Street , indsor. After celebrating in style with some close friends over amazing food and champagne at my new favourite haunt - Morris Jones - it was off to the country to visit mum for some much needed fresh air and peace. I wanted to share a few shots of my wonderful trip here. Hope you found your own little piece of quiet over the weekend. (And easter bunny didn't get lost on the way to you.) xxx
