THE GOOD LIFE MEETS NEW

VINTAGESPEND AN AUTUMN EVENING BY THE SEA-SIDE TUCKED UP IN WONDERFUL WOOLEN

THROWS TO KEEP YOU ALL WARM

Hurrah for the colder weather! The nights are drawing in and there is a definate chill in the air .. . which provides the per-fect excuse to snuggle up outdoors under a warm throw, catch-ing the very last of summer sunshine as the new season arrives. Gather up your family and friends and head to the beach this half term for a picnic by the sea.

“Bread and butter pudding has long been the, erm, bread and butter of British desserts. We wanted to bring a fresh twist to this classic favourite. We’ve used a brioche instead of a plain bread to give it a rich, buttery sweetness - Its also suprisingly light - then we’ve smoothered it with a toffee apple sauce. A little goes a long way with this one . . . “
