It was so lovely to have a couple of girlfriends up to the farm for lunch the other day - on a work day, no less!!! I'm not normally one for resolutions - however this year I decided to take some time out of my busy working week for the occasional girly lunch. Nothing grandiose, just a simple ploughmans spread - prosciutto, bangalow ham, olives of all kinds, fetta stuffed bell peppers, cheeses, salad and a crusty french baguette from the local french patisserie. To finish off we indulged in a lovely apricot flan and a cup of tea. The table was decorated very simply - with this lovely floral arrangement as the focus.

What a perfect combination good food and good friends make! Tracey xx
Sounds so nice and the flowers look amazing.
Ploughman's lunches are my favourite - must be the English blood in me! The table arrangement looks beautiful.

I'm glad you like the tree branch OF4M - just a little thing I picked up out of the garden (dead on the ground!) - I think it looks so lovely here nestled in next to my William White mirror and decorated with little felted Steiner babies! I do love a glady too - these ones are hot pink and pale purple - such a lovely colour combination.

Sounds like my kind of day. I've vowed to take more "time outs" this year as well. Such a lovely setting...I bet you have no problem coaxing friends to visit you at the farm. :) The flower arrangement is beautiful.
That arrangement with the twigs in it is beautiful!
Lovely arrangement - I love the twigs & beautiful blooms :)
Beautiful flowers - they look like they've just been picked fresh from the garden
