Cool Plates & The Memories We Made
After a few cooler and windier weeks, summer’s back in England — and my tomatoes are… well, fashionably late. Two have finally ripened, and I’m saving them for the world’s tiniest tomato salad (😂).
The first cherry tomatoes have finally ripened!
Even if I won't be self-sufficient any time soon, my plate’s still bursting with plants — because gut health and that 30-plants-a-week goal don’t take a holiday.
Bernina Express Highlights 🚂
Finally, I managed to go through all of my photos and videos and pulled together moments from our Bernina Express trip (Instagram reel linked below) — a breathtaking train ride from Chur, Switzerland, to Tirano, Italy. Think glacial lakes, mountain passes, and the thrill of doing luxury-ish travel on a budget. You know I got you if you have questions about the route or you want to share your planning tips? Hit reply — I’m happy to share my DIY travel secrets.
Watermelon & Halloumi Salad – juicy melon, grilled cheese, oregano, olive oil croutons, mint, and a tangy balsamic drizzle. Fresh, filling, and plant-count friendly. You'll be the first to know when the recipe is up on the blog.

I’m planning to film the full process of how I make my sourdough bread soon! If you’ve been thinking about baking your own, now’s your chance to ask questions. What type of sourdough should I try next — rustic, seeded, sweet? In the meantime, here’s my easy sourdough sandwich loaf for a head start.
