Smoking Lobster

We recently took on the Isle of Wight for a camping and cycling adventure- and it was pure bliss. Evening yoga on the clifftop; morning sea dips followed by fresh strong coffee; sunset BBQs, and I even completed the 100k Randonnee- a complete cycling loop around the Island! Travelling to new places, to me, is

Lovetts, Newlyn

Now that lockdown has been eased and the Government has encouraged us all to get out and about again with their “Eat Out To Help Out” Scheme, I thought I’d continue on the theme of favourite eat/ drink-outs! Another recent favourite and regular haunt in the Motherland is Lovetts Cafe and Wine Bar in Newlyn,

Café Dog + Rabbit

I grew up in the little town of St Just in Penwith. My home town is very seasonal. Granite buildings hunker down against the fog and sea winds in the winter and become colourfully clad in festival flags and surround bustling crowds in the summer, when tourists flock through the town in search of ‘Poldark’

Taco Boys

On our recent trip to West Cornwall, my hubby surprised me with a detour to Taco Boys for breakfast on the beach! It was wonderful! We parked up and wound our way down to Baby Bay to discover the little truck at the top of the sandy bay. Taco Boys is a decked out trailer

VE75 Celebrations

As a Nation we celebrated the 75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe and the great sacrifice of our heroes together at home, with picnics, home-made bunting, home-baked goods and socially-distanced street parties with neighbours. As I am isolating alone, when a friend told me about Garlands’ cream tea delivery offer, my plans were sealed. I

Dalwood Asparagus & Wine

The asparagus comes from just the other side of Dalwood Village to the Vineyard and is grown by two members of the wine syndicate whose usual suppliers have less

Cricklewood Coffee

I was up very early today, so I thought I’d do a post about coffee while our wonderful Ponte Vecchio coffee machine heats up and comes up to pressure! I’ve just opened a fresh bag of Cricklewood Coffee (mmmmm smells so good). Cricklewood Coffee Roasters is an independent that sources and roasts its own small

Happy New Year 2019!!

Happy New Year and for now some closing words from Seasonal365 2018, a blog. We prepare for yet more festivities with wonderful friends and a new journey for 2019. Seasonal365 has been a fun and informative journey for us both and has certainly made us more aware of the delicious benefits of sourcing and eating

Streatham Common Community Garden Cookbook

One of my favourite Christmas gifts this year was this beautifully curated Gardner’s Cookbook produced by The Streatham Community Garden, through which my good friend enjoys nurturing a small allotment plot. Her delicious patty pan cous cous recipe is featured and I can’t wait to try it out! Streatham Community Garden allows volunteers from all

Cornish Pasties

They say that a Cornish Pasty is not technically a real Cornish Pasty unless made with the correct ingredients, in the correct way, in Cornwall. I’m a Cornish gal, making them “proper job” two counties away…does that count!? Anyway, last night we made yummy seasonal Cornish Pasties, so I thought I would share my traditional

A very Seasonal Christmas Dinner

This Christmas, our long-awaited Christmas dinner excelled itself once again and represented everything Seasonal and local. Beef Wellington has become the Christmas Day tradition in our household. We sourced our whole beef fillet from our local award-winning family butcher, Barrett Bros in Crewkerne. We accompanied the Wellington with British Maris Piper potatoes- disguised by creamy
