We grow lemons at our place. Lots of lemons. Our little orchard is full to the brim this time of the year. The colours are magnificent. There has been a large bowl of lemons staring at me for about two weeks now. More like glaring at me actually. Every time I walk past them my eyes are diverted and I marvel at their simple beauty. I have a love affair with colour and these little bursts of sunshine have been begging me for days to take photos of them!! Unfortunately I haven't been able to do anything extraordinary with the lemons except juice them for our breakfast, even though their potential in the kitchen is unparalleled. I could be making lemon meringue pie, lemon slice, lemon curd, lemon meringue cupcakes, lemon butter.......the list is endless. But no, all I could so this week was whip up a very quick batch of humble meringues, gather my darling little lemons, make some herbal tea, dig out my gorgeous 'new' second hand vintage fabric and my camera and start snapping!! I hope you enjoy my whirlwind attempt bring these citrus miracles to life. I have my eye on the mandarins and oranges next.......
Enjoy!

we have a tree full of bush lemons, they don't look as pretty as yours, but they do make some lovely things- I really need to get onto some lemon butter!
