My sister and her family came for a short and joyful visit.

I tried to make a simple lunch and dessert, adapted from recipes old and new.

Carrot and walnut muffins with macerated strawberries 🍓

Rice with chorizo and peas

Salad 🥗 with avocado 🥑, green pepper 🫑, cucumber 🥒, mint and banana 🍌

Baked chicken 🍗 marinated in honey 🍯, garlic 🧄, lemon 🍋 and olive oil with spring onions

Now putting my feet up and resting.

My sister and her husband are outnumbered by their three wonderful children – I don’t know how they do it, but I’m in awe of them 💪🏾 !
