Perfect day to stroll through Heaton Park 😎It's been a long week, but coming home to these sent all the way from Malawi has put a big smile on my face. Rock on the weekend! #distanceisnothingCannelloni from the restaurant that invented Cannelloni (apparently). Not a bad last lunch for a fabulous trip 😎Next time life gives you lemons, skip the lemonade and go straight for the Lemon Delice 😋Just in case I've been making anyone jealous this week. #stillratherbehere 😉So just a few shots from the Amalfi Drive, an amazing pastry from the bakery recommended by Paul Hollywood in Amalfi (I concur, it was lovely), and a couple of birthday treats. Good day! 😎Tags
