Good Grub in Wincheslea

Last weekend we paid a visit to the delightful Winchelsea Farm Kitchen which is about a 15 minute drive from where we live and is most definitely worth the pleasant road trip.

Enjoy a bit of tea and cake in the conservatory before shopping for your local, fine produce. If you like a good sausage (wink), they have a super tasty selection and their wine cellar is the perfect place to get yourself a decent bottle.

I'm a sucker for nice food packaging and pretty foods are in their abundance here. I also loved their tiled floor in the cafe area which is going in my inspiration file for my new kitchen for sure!

If you fancy a nice drive through the country, this is the perfect place to stock up on good, local tasty grub. Yum!

A little perspective

I was sitting reading the March issue of ELLE Decoration in my lunch hour today and editor Michelle Ogundehin featured a quote by Mother Teresa which made me stop and think about how easy it is to hamster-wheel our way through life. I think these words are a nice reminder to gain perspective sometimes. One for the wall me thinks.

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is struggle, accept it.
Life is tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”

Mother Teresa
