A beautiful evening to savour the cherry 🍒 brandy I made from our neighbours cherries 🍒 this spring mixed with some locally brewed artisan lemonade on the rocks. Santé. Sláinte. Cheers. 🥂🥂🥂🍒🍒🍒 #cherrybrandy #createalifeyoulove #cherries

Popped round to give the neighbours our excess courgettes 🥒 🥒🥒🥒🥒 and came back with this basket of plums and peaches 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑 from their trees. Mother Nature just keeps giving and giving as long as we care for her and treat her with respect. #reciprocity #braidingsweetgrass #mereterre #peaches #plums #createalifeyoulove #jennysfrenchkitchen

Sincere thanks to the guys at @thehappypear for the recipe for an amazing Courgette 🥒 and Lemon Curd🍋 Cake. It is now in @nc.illustrations Top 5 Desserts! My second attempt looks much better than the first one. We can't get Philadelphia Cream Cheese here in France 🇫🇷 for the icing so I substituted my made-up mascarpone and lemon icing instead. Can't wait to taste it now. Check out my latest blog on my website which you will find on my profile for more of my favourite courgette recipes. #courgettelemoncurdcake #happypear #jennysfrenchkitchen #courgettes #zucchini #cake #courgetterecipes

@nc.illustrations a l'air très contente de voir ce désert estival ! Melons🍉, menthe et basilic de mon potager mélangé s avec des fraises🍓🍓🍓 d'une ferme à Trémolat. Nicolas seems very happy with this summer dessert. Melons, mint and basil grown by me strawberries from a local farm. #melons #potagerbio #jennysfrenchkitchen #potager #fraises #estival #createlifeyoulove

Great fun canoeing 🛶🛶🛶 12kms down the Dordogne from Le Buisson to Trémolat with the young ones today. Very tired arms but happy souls. #riverlife #Dordogne #createlifeyoulove #canoeing @nc.illustrations

A 10 kms walk with 3 of my favourite people and the 2 pups 🐶🐶 through villages🏡🏡🏡🏡, forest🌳🌳🌳 and meadows 🌻🌻🌻around Trémolat is a seriously great way to start the week! #createlifeyoulove

It gives me so much hope for the future when I see young men like my nephew Joseph establishing a meditation practice in their 20s. I have watched how much it supports him to lead a more conscious and heart-centred life rather than getting caught up in societal pressure to conform and buy into the rat race. I wish I had committed to this earlier in my life. It would have made life a lot easier. #meditationfortheloveofit #meditation #createalifeyoulove

Friday afternoon swims in the Dordogne with my 2 nephews and Delilah 🐶. #riverlife #Dordogne #createlifeyoulove @nc.illustrations

Yes. This is exactly how I feel. #braidingsweetgrass #joy #createlifeyoulove

If any of you are, like me, experiencing a courgette 🥒🥒🥒 glut then pop on over to my site to read my latest blog called WHAT TO DO WITH A COURGETTE/ZUCCHINI GLUT. It is packed full of delicious recipes which I have courageously tested and tasted over the last month! Bon appetit! #courgetteglut #courgettes #zucchini #zucchiniglut #recipes #courgetterecipes #zucchinirecipes #jennysfrenchkitchen

Advice needed from fellow veg growers. It's my first time growing squash. How do you know when to harvest them? #squash #courges #butternutsquash

I have been on my laptop for longer than usual this week as I focus on designing and creating @sallykemptonofficial's new website for her, keeping things ticking over for @miranda.macpherson while she is on personal retreat, managing events for my own business @PositiveLivingNetwork and seeing a couple of Life Coaching clients. We also had some unexpected frustrations so, although I still only work a max of 25 hours per week, I realised half an hour ago that my brain was tired and, after all, it is Friday evening. Even though I'm self- employed and have freedom to work whatever hours I want, I really benefit from completely switching off at the weekends. I came down to the pool to read, meditate, swim and be and I said to Eoin "I'm just going to chill out here for a while and pretend I'm on holiday somewhere beautiful!" Then I remembered that I already live somewhere beautiful and I don't need a holiday, I just need to disconnect to reconnect as I wrote about in a recent blog on my website. What's the point of moving somewhere like this if you can't enjoy the summer? 🏖️🏖️🏖️🏖️If you don't see me until Monday, you know where I am!! 😉🌞❤️☀️🍹🍹🏖️ #poolsideliving #createalifeyoulove #sallykempton #mirandamacpherson

Dinner.....sown from seed with love ❤️❤️❤️❤️ then eaten within 30 mins of harvest and 20 metres of where it was grown. What abundance! What satisfaction! What co-creation! What yumminess! What joy! What aliveness! The courgettini 🥒🍝with rich tomato 🍅🍅🍅 and basil sauce with fresh baguette and a glass of organic Pécharmant from just down the road which we were given by neighbours was seriously joyful too!! #createalifeyoulove #jennysfrenchkitchen #potagerbio #gyo #gyoveg #courgettes #tomatoes #organic #veggies #veg

I've been waiting patiently for the tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅 to redden and it's finally beginning. I have grown 4 different types this year from sweet little cherry tomatoes to big juicy beefsteaks. Let the glut begin!! #tomatoes #createlifeyoulove

This is what happens when you don't check your courgettes 🥒🥒🥒 for 36 hours here! They go from too small to pick to giant. 🤣🤣🤣 Delilah is posing to give a size comparison!! They weigh about 2.5kgs each!! As far as I know they are pretty useless once they get to this size but I'd love to know if anyone knows of anything to make with them? #giantcourgettes #giantzucchini #potagerbio #gyo veg #courgette #zucchini

Awww Eoin grew a ❤️ 🥔 for me!! #loveis #truelove

I ❤️ the storms we get here!!

After a month of zero rain ⚡☔💧⚡☔💧and soaring temperatures, The crazy Irish people 🇮🇪 just did a joyful dance in the storm which has arrived in the Dordogne. Mother Earth 🌳🌏 and our potager are breathing a sigh of relief too! Bring it on!! #letitrain #rain #orage #relief #canicule #heatwave #storm

Today it is my dominant intention to see beauty. I ❤️ this 🌳 in our garden. What is your intention today? #intentionalliving #createlifeyoulove #intentions

With temperatures due to soar to 40 degrees today an early morning swim for the doggies 🐶🐶 in the Dordogne seems like a good start to the day. I am still enchanted every time I crosd the river to this spot and look back across to the little hamlet of 6 houses where we live perched above the railway bridge 🚂. Stay cool, pups and peeps! #createalifeyoulove #dordogne #igersdordogne #jmperigord
