POACHED COD AND A FROSTY MORNING IN GÅSÖ

A lovely frosty morning at Gåsö in The Stockholm Archipelago. Here for the half term break with son Hugo and his friend Charlie and, of course, my lovely husband Bruce. Yesterday we had my very good friend Leena for lunch and we had a lovely walk with my sister (my neighbour on the island), her dog Tessie, before we tuck in on a tasty meal with poached cod, se below...

Poach the cod in the oven on 175 degrees Celsius for 10-12 minutes with some lemonjuice, butter and salt. Make a bechamel sauce and season with horseradish. Serve with wild mushrooms fried with onion and garlic, boiled potatoes and veg... Yummy, light and fresh..

COLOUR IS BACK

Colour is definitely back in interiors...Look at Ercol who normally is very wooden, black or white. Like Licorice Allsorts. Nice and uplifting in these hard times....Or - paint your old ones to get a new and happy feel to you dining room!

CHRISTMAS AT JOHN LEWIS and MORE DESIGNERS GUILD

Christmas has arrived. Yesterday I saw this window at John Lewis in London.
Simple and colourful, I liked it!
Black and yellow at Designers Guild on Kings Road. My favourite colour combination after black and white. Tricia Guild is very clever with colour!
