One of my favourite things to do is going out to bars, cafes and restaurants as much for the lovely coffees, cakes, wine and food as for the inspiration and ideas for our home…here are some of the cafes and restaurants that I love to go to; they may also be sources of inspiration for you and if you are passing, somewhere lovely to go…

Primrose Bakery

I would love my kitchen to look just like this..gorgeous pastels…pinks, mint green, primrose yellow, retro furniture, eclectic vintage cake stands filled with beautifully decorated cakes, biscuits and pastries, nostalgic bits and pieces and seasonal flowers…our kitchen larder was inspired by Primrose bakery…mint green and filled with vintage crockery!

For extra inspiration I love to look through The Primrose Bakery Book…lovely pictures of their cafes and delicious recipes…I think my family would definitely recommend the Gingerbread Men recipe…this year for Valentine’s day I filled a Le Parfait jar with Gingerbread heart biscuits for my husband…as he frequently asks me when I might be baking some more…great for dunking in tea!
