Looks like it’ll be a good loaf for dinner 😊 #challah #braidedbread #sundaybakes #ofsimplethings #smallmomentsofcalm #myseasonalstory #myquietbeauty #capturequiet #calmversation #simpleandstill #slowlived #aslowmoment #thesimpleeveryday #simpleandstill #daysofsmallthings #folkandstory #gowildlyandslow #homebakedbread
Instagram post 2321646546925537396_2902509310 Most of the #sourdough recipes I found require an overnight rise or proof time but I wasn’t up for that, so I decided to just wing it with the measurements and process, and bake based on what I know from baking with dry yeast 😂 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ All things considered, this loaf isn’t too shabby. Could probably do with an extra hour of proofing and another ten minutes of baking. Other than that, it makes for good breakfast 😋 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #sourdoughbread #fooddiary #homebakedbread #slowlived #thatvelvetfeeling #foodstyle #folkandstory #asecondofwhimsey #aslowmoment #ofsimplethings #daysofsmallthings #calmversation #seasonpoetry #brightside #sauerteigbrot #gowildlyandslow #breakfasttable #freshbread #lockdownlife #welllived
Instagram post 2309330359181051689_2902509310 Exactly a year ago, spent time in the city I was born and the small town I lived my first year of life in, chasing bees across the vineyards and hiking through forests with my sister. 10/10 wanna do that again when the world’s a safer place once more. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #changeofseason #springdays #vineyards #chasingbees #orchards #iamcountryside #bedeeplyrooted #d750 #lifeisbright #weareexplorers #springvibes #petitejoys #bandoffun #outandabout #slowandsimpledays #seeksimplicity #tinytinymoments #aseasonalshift #beesandflowers #theslowdowncollective
Instagram post 2293034787566462014_2902509310 Having to work from home versus choosing to work from home technically looks the same for me since I see the same few walls but it still feels very different. Maybe because the latter afforded me the flexibility to step out whenever I felt like it, whereas now I can’t. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ What these times of extreme uncertainty have reminded me of though is to really be grateful for even the simplest things; to once again watch and marvel at roots growing and leaves unfolding.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ If anything, I’m determined to take hold of these moments all the more than before and remember them years down the road when we once again get lost in the hustle and bustle, albeit amidst a new normal. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ What’s one thing keeping you grounded these days? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #growingherbs #slowlived #cilantro #corianderleaves #freshproduce #wholefoodnutrition #bythewindow #folkandstory #asecondofwhimsey #aslowmoment #ofsimplethings #daysofsmallthings #calmversation #capturequiet #slowandsimpledays

It’s become pretty easy with meat — most of it no longer smells appetising and #impossiblemeat, #beyondmeat and other substitutes fill the odd cravings. Sashimi, however, is another story… Guess I gotta give those vegan carrot lox recipes a try. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Anyone have any other ideas or suggestions? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #vegetarianlife #boroughmarket #freshproduce #britishsnaps #slowlived #farmersmarketfinds #wholefoodnutrition #eatveggies #thatvelvetfeeling #folkandstory #asecondofwhimsey #aslowmoment #ofsimplethings #daysofsmallthings #tedsveg #plantbasedmeals #healthierliving

They’ve got very interesting blends, and the names they come up with inject another level of creativity 🍃☕️✨ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #communitea #birdandblendteaco #mermaidmist #teablends #slowlived #mystoryoflight #amomentofwonder #teahouse #thatvelvetfeeling #folkandstory #asecondofwhimsey #aslowmoment #ofsimplethings #daysofsmallthings
Instagram post 2250118280528349062_2902509310 Allegedly, English Protestant reformers met here in the 16th century to discuss Lutheran ideas. If only walls truly had ears, it’d be fascinating to hear from them about the meetings that took place over the centuries. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I’m not the only who wonders what secrets old buildings hold, no? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #folkmuseum #facadelovers #throughthewindow #travelogue #stillswithstories #capturingbritain #reclaimthehappy #iamatraveller #tinytinymoments #thatvelvetfeeling #discoverengland #slowlived #asecondofwhimsey #britishsnaps #capturequiet #seasonpoetry #amomentofwonder #folkandstory #dreaminginpictures
