31 days left, 31 sleeps until Christmas day. I love this time of the year. Many of us have started to write the list of things to do. And perhaps the Count Down starts right here or for many it has already started.

Here in our little town the Christmas Lights came on two weeks ago. At home when my daughter was a little girl, We put up our Christmas tree on 25th November. And today is a remembrance of that day many years ago. Since she's now grown up we don't usually do some big things. And we still decorate the house but a bit later. Therefore I am sharing a picture of some of our Christmas moments at home some three or four years back.

This is to wish you all a Merry Preparations. Have fun but don't forget to pick up a glass with something in it.

Good evening everyone!
I hope you all have had some marvellous days of Autumn. And that your Thanksgiving gatherings went on as planned. I have been quiet for somtime now. I have been busy sewing and preparing pictures for the shop. And tonight I needed to share with you my "Chicken Pilaf Traybake." And here is the Recipe for it.
This recipe is gluten-free.

Ingredients
onion 1, thinly sliced
garlic 1 clove, crushed
ground turmeric 1 tsp
cumin seeds 1 tsp
ground cinnamon 1 tsp
lemon 1, juiced
olive oil
whole chicken thighs 4
cooked basmati rice 250g (use a pouch or leftovers)
dill a handful, chopped

Method

STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the onion, garlic, spices and lemon juice in an ovenproof dish that the chicken thighs will fit in snugly, with just a little space between them.

STEP 2
Add 1 tbsp oil and some seasoning, then stir everything together. Sit the chicken thighs on top of the onion mix and season. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

STEP 3
Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes. Take out the chicken pieces then stir the rice and most of the dill into the roasted onion mix.

STEP 4
Sit the chicken back on top and bake for another 10 minutes. Serve with a little extra dill sprinkled on top.

I forgot to grab a bunch of Dill at the supermarket. But never mind, If you happen to forget that, it won't stop your Pilaf to be delicious. It was only to spill on top of it after it was done.

It is said to use chicken thighs. But I cut a whole chicken to pieces and it became very delicious.

Well my lovelies, I hope your weekend is all planned for something nice. Therefore I wish you all a wonderful weekend! Take care of yourselves.

Good evening everyone. I hope you are all having a wonderful fall and Thanksgiving moments with families and friends.
And now that the time has changed, the weather is also changing quickly. I haven't posted for sometime and yesterday was my birthday. I didn't do anything big. Just focusing on what I am doing and watching the year passing by. We are almost in the Christmas season and sooner the bells will be ringing.
Therefore let me wish you all wonderful fall and Thanksgiving season. Enjoy yourselves. With warmest hugs from us on the other side of the pond.

The month of October

It reminds me of orange, red, yellow and faded leaves.

Despite what the clock may chimes, the daylight will suddenly change and eventide will be wriggling up one hour earlier once again before we even know it, changing our warm sunny days into cold and cozy winter evenings.

In some countries, October gather friends and families for the Thanksgiving Dinner. What a joy and cheerful way to close the summer season.

And sooner October will wave goodbye and the next – It will be Halloween when parents and children will trick and treat. Then will come the remembrance week to respect and remember the fallen who never made it home.

And after all - The Christmas bells will be ringing. Another family season will gather us together again.

Therefore October is a wonderful month of the year.

Happy Autumn Season – enjoy yourselves, wherever in the world you are.

After Days of Hard work.
I am tired, I am exhausted. I needed some delicious food and good rest. I made a some vegetable stir fried with chicken and basmati rice. It was nice.

I won't make you read a long story, I am going to have an early night to bed.
I wish you all a Happy Weekend. Enjoy your Autumn season. Bug hugs from Old London!

Celebrations that comes with Autum/Harvest. Good

Celebrations that comes with Autum/Harvest.

Good morning all. Things are so busy here. For those who have been to my blog, you would have seen that I turn it to "Coming Soon." I have bought a new Theme which has both blog and Shop. I have fixed the new theme into my previous blog which is almost the same style as before.
But for the shop it is a huge saving from having blog and shop hosted separately. It is great that the updated Theme makes us saves lots of money. My shop and blog will be hosted together as one Theme same price as when I had my blog alone.
Otherwise I was going to pay host over £400 per year for the shop which is a huge savings.
I won't have a domain for my shop but still I will have a link that people can go straight to the shop.
I am busy doing the finishing touches of the shop. Then start putting up Christmas items.

Yes Christmas! So much that here we do not celebrate Harvest and Thanks giving. And that Halloween is not my thing, altogether it means I have nothing to celebrate until Christmas. Therefore I take the time now to just concentrate on Christmas only. But I wish we had the tradition to celebrate at least Thanksgiving.

And my shop will open straight having Christmas items for sale to start with.

Well guys I know lots of you are having Thanksgiving on your mind, which is a beautiful thing to do. Last year we missed families and friends. I could imagine how exciting it would be for you all this year to meet with everyone to celebrate this event. I can smell your cooking already hahaha. Well ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the best of this event and have fun. And don't forget to post pictures.

I haven't had time to make a little Autumn vignette here. And I promise I will do something nice to share with you soon.

I will love you all and leave you. Big hugs wherever you are.

Welcome October - It is Autumn

It is absolutely raining here. And the leaves are falling down. Autumn has finally arrived. And the plants are becoming dormant. Leaves are changing colours and birds are migrating. The weather is becoming chillier. The night falls earlier and the morning is wet and dark. Welcome Autumn - The beautiful seasons of golden colours. Happy Autumn my friends.

The Rose Tree and The Red Door

It feels like summer but it looks like autumn. But I have a thing about the Big Red Door - did I say The Big FRENCH Red Door? I wish the Rose tree was blooming but alas the leaves are falling, and that's why it is autumn. One day I will come back to this little French town in the summer time - why not. There's a lot to see, it's a must to return.

I hope your week's been doing good for you. Enjoy your autumn season.

Autumn Outfit
Good afternoon everyone. It's been busy days over here. And it was a bit chilly and windy last night. And since it is the early days of autumn, it is time for the lighter autumn fashion wear. Just sharing a pretty long sleeve crochet frock. I had it for many years but never worn.

I wish you all a wonderful day and or a nice evening.

La Bourgie - The Candle Flower

Hello Everyone

This picture is from one of my friends. It reminded me of mother, her watering can and her garden. It brings back lots of memories.

I haven't had the chance to pick up my camera to go have a walk out in the wild to make some pictures of beautiful autumn. I will try my hardest to find some time to do it. I will post them pictures as soon as they are done.

Well my lovelies, enjoy this beautiful season wherever in the world you are. Have wonderful week!
