Father's Day

Maybe it's tradition, maybe it's poor timing, but Father's Day always seems to get overshadowed by Mother's Day. Determined to make it a special one for my husband who is celebrating his first Father's Day as a dad of two, I set my son to work on a card for him.

I'm most impressed with his work of art because he was intending to draw circles but somehow by a strange miracle, ended up drawing a picture of Dad, complete with an ear, hair, eyes and a smile.

We had brunch at The Pawn, which was a fun gastronomical affair for everyone in the family - my son had a 3-course meal, starting off with tomato soup, followed by a mushroom pasta in cream sauce, and then a brownie for dessert; baby tucked into some warm freshly-baked onion bread; and my husband and I had the very filling pork belly. I managed to squeeze in some sticky toffee pudding, which had a very unusual citrus touch that was just heavenly.
