a week of living colourfully:orange

Orange is a top colour and a top flavour. Orange Smarties are the best on butterfly cakes, and we've just discovered the brilliant London Marmalade (great mix of sweet, bitter and sour) made by London-based England Preserves. (Their lovely designs and labels make them the perfect preserves to have on scones/toast/tea cakes while reading a Persephone book.)

And how dull would our streets and shops be if there weren't big boxes and displays of oranges in markets and greengrocers? You can't beat a good orange.  

[The butterfly cakes were made for a shoot for an article by Olivia Gordon about me and my home in the July issue of Psychologies (with photos by Penny Wincer). It was one of the nicest interview and photoshoot processes I've ever been a part of because everyone involved was so lovely.]
