It’s my birthday!!! I am having a lovely day with my family and friends and… We finally finished our patio yesterday! Hurrah!!! I will share pics next week. I am very happy with it but it was super hard work laying it brick-by-brick. So happy to have the patio done the day before my birthday. 🙂 

I decided not to have a barbeque – but just have lots and lots of easy party food like  Endive Salad with Pears and Almonds and lemon sponge!!! The weather looks like it will hold…

New and exclusive recipes this week on FriFran…

This week I shared two new summer recipes that I adore.

I am eating Vietnamese Summer Rolls at least once a week at the moment. They are super quick, super easy and really, really delicious. I can’t get enough of them! 

I also shared Grilled Summer Fruits!!! which is a perfect way to make the most of the wonderful glut of summer fruits. If, like me, you sometimes struggle 🙁 with fresh fruit you might find that grilling fruit makes it a little more ‘digestible’. 🙂
