Sunny Days

We couldn’t think of any better way to welcome summer back than with a few visits to the beach, late evening barbeques and watching the sun shimmer as it sets into a tired horizon. Summer is the absolute opportunity to live life in vibrant colour and this season’s produce never fails to deliver. Gorgeous prints, dainty fabrics, fruity scents and simple jewellery are all a perfect contrast to summer’s carefree lifestyle. We decided to make a jug of homemade Passiona to quench our Summer thirst, and this recipe is exactly what we were after; an icy cold refreshment that oozes the tastes and flavours of the warmer months. Served with raspberry ice cubes, this cordial is the ultimate Summer quencher!

Two Thousand and Twelve

Just like every other year, 2011 whizzed past us in the blink of an eye. Numerous annual occasions and events, along with, of course, Christmas parties, Boxing Day gatherings and end of year celebrations, all somehow worked together to turn 2011 into a year on fast-forward. Seeing as it’s a few days into the New Year now, it seems fitting that 2012 receives some belated acknowledgement. Here’s hoping that all the joys of last year make their way into this one; welcome 2012.

Happy New Year!
