Oh! I had to share this too!

Who would have thought about making elderflower fritters!

Basilea Living Herbs has even supplied a link to the recipe below!

I’m going to try this!

Elderflowers are by far the most delicious edible flowers, in my opinion. The flowers are dipped into a pancake-like batter and then fried in a pan.

So today is our wedding anniversary and where better to celebrate but to have lunch at Annie Lane! Seeing I’m an Annie, it kinda seems fitting🌸🌺🌼

We arrived only to find a weekend special - salad of the day being “Garden of Annie”!

Of course I had to have it!

It arrived beautifully garnished with flowers (of course!) supplied by Basilea Living Herbs.

We also had a dessert of cookies and cream slice with ice cream, also beautifully garnished with baby carnation and petal confetti. A very joyful plate!

Special mention must go to Bec who served us - she made our day with her humour and willingness to have fun with us. She’s a real asset to the business and it was obvious that she loved her job. Thank you Bec for adding that extra joy to our day 🌸🌺🌼🌷
