I love breakfast ideas, but by the time we get moving on a weekend it is most definitely brunch.

But this works perfectly for a lazy day when it feels like Spring is in the air.

There are so many textures in this dish, which stops the watermelon from tasting wet and sloppy!

I can't believe I have never thought to grill a watermelon until now.

Ingredients:

• Sliced watermelon 
• Peeled mandarin
• 2 Tablespoons of honey
• Handful muesli of your choice
• 1 small pot of yoghurt to serve

Using a griddle (if you want the seared lines across the slices) or shallow frying pan, brush your watermelon slices and mandarin segments with honey and cook on a medium/high heat for 8 minutes on each side.

The honey will caramelise slightly and the natural water in the watermelon stops it from sticking.

Take off the heat and layer up your watermelon. Sprinkle with muesli and mandarin and top with a dollop of yoghurt. 

The boys loved their "fruit pizza" slices. Easy to make for just 4 of you or for a big group.

Lazy brunches are most certainly the way forward! I used my cabbage leaf plates in these photographs and it reminded me of our beautiful breakfast in Honfleur.

Bon appétit! 

psst how do you like my new bone vintage cutlery? A little bargain I picked up in an antique store opposite Spitalfields Market in London when I was working last week. I got 3 sets of knives and forks for £12, they are so heavy and just feel full of history. They are from America and apparently from the days of cowboys! 

Linking up with Magpie Monday, Tasty Tuesdays and Recipe of the Week. Check them out for some brilliant inspiration.

Today the boys are sharing their beloved books to read together at bedtime!

It can be tricky finding stories that are appropriate for both of them given their 2 year age gap, but all of these are firm favourites that we read endlessly!

I am also sharing the beautiful vintage inspired print pyjamas the boys were sent a little while ago from Their Nibs. 

Over the past couple of months they have become the boys' top choices and have been suitably road tested and ready to review!

As a parent, mornings still in pjs are to be savoured and so actually their bedtime wear is often the clothes they are in the longest! The ones that get splattered with breakfast, pulled around in wrestling matches on our bed and the ankles get pulled over the tops of their toes whilst watching a film on a Saturday morning.

For me, they need to be tough to withstand all that!

The boys feel grown up because they have an elasticated waistband "with writing on like Dada" and they wash and tumble dry beautifully. No fading, stretching or shrinking and the knees haven't sagged either unlike some of their cheaper character print supermarket pyjamas. 

They have elasticated ankles so even though Ollie's are a little too long still, they don't make him trip and the soft cotton has been lovely for Sammy's skin which has been delicate over the last few months with a rash.

I dress the boys traditionally (regular readers will know they have an extensive bow tie collection) and so these are a joy to see them in, rather than the scratchy fabric bargain versions with characters on they soon fall out of love with. The cowboy prints are young without being babyish and are perfect for us as they adore playing in their wigwam tent.

So without further ado, here are the boy's top bedtime books!

Bedtime is a happy time, time for calm and stories are brilliant for that. My boys love funny stories and it's magical to see their own little senses of humour developing. We are even at the stage now, with Sammy being half way through his first Reception year at school, that he reads a number of the words independently.

Mine are boisterous boys, so watching them lie together for a story at bedtime is wonderful.

Siblings who share a thirst for reading.

Do you have budding readers? Is reading a bedtime story part of your routine?

I'd love to hear what your favourites are to add to our little library!

The boy's were kindly sent the pyjamas from Their Nibs for the purposes of this article, have a peek for yourselves at their unique children's collection, you won't be disappointed.

This week I was in heaven. Work heaven.

Here is a sneak peek. My favourites from 48 hours at Leon.

Who's hungry?!

One of my favourite moments was catching this woman completely by surprise. I turned to one end of the restaurant and saw her smile.

But this was my absolute favourite moment. If ever you are near Victoria Underground Station you NEED to meet this team! 

You cannot manufacture the magic that makes a Leon team.

If only there was a Leon near Bristol.

I'll be sharing some of these images for #SundayPropShop. Leon let me have complete freedom to style the shots as I liked. Luckily I had 2 assistants (my brother in law and friend who happen to work and live in London) for the close up images! I'd love to see how you have styled up your photography lately.

Link me to or tweet me you photos - have you thought more about the props you've used, taken an extra few minutes to cut into the cake you made to blog? Show me - I'd love to share them on this blog.

Happy days everyone.
