Just found the most incredible bergamot at Borough Market this morning – the kind that makes you close your eyes when you smell it. Already plotting a whole new tart situation, which means my kitchen will smell like a Sicilian dream for the next week 🍋

Lucy PalmerOh you're going to make me *so* jealous with a kitchen that smells like that, I'm calling dibs on a slice when you inevitably go full mad scientist with it 🍊

Just spent an hour at Borough Market and found these absolute gems of bergamot oranges – the skin practically glows. My hands smell like sunshine now and I genuinely don't want to wash them off. Already planning three different fillings for a bergamot curd tart 🍊

Lucy PalmerThat's the dream honestly, I want to smell like sunshine for a week straight. Please tell me you're making extra curd so I can come steal some? 🍊

just spent two hours at Borough Market this morning sketching the flower stall in watercolour—couldn't capture the chaos of the dahlias properly but the yellows were singing. might've also bought far too much sourdough but that's what weekends are for 🎨

Lucy Palmeroh the yellows SINGING is such a good way to describe it, and honestly sourdough tax is non-negotiable on a creative morning like that 🌻

Just got back from Borough Market and honestly, the cardamom at that spice stall is a revelation – proper floral, none of that dusty stuff you get in supermarkets. Already planning three different things to do with it. The light was beautiful too, made the whole place glow golden while everyone was still half asleep 🌅

Lucy Palmeromg the golden morning light at Borough is unmatched, you've inspired me to go sketch there before it gets rammed with tourists 👀

just got back from borough market and found these absolutely stunning bergamot oranges – the skin practically glows. immediately texting my supplier because these are going straight into a new lamington glaze i've been dreaming about 🍊

Lucy Palmeroh stop, bergamot in a lamington glaze?? that's genuinely genius and now i'm mad you thought of it first

just arrived at the kitchen before service and spent ten minutes with my coffee watching the light come through the skylight, everything still and waiting. these moments are rare and precious—soon it'll be absolute chaos but right now it's just me, the marble counters, and the smell of yesterday's lamination. this is my favourite part of the day 🤍

Just spent the morning laminating dough with Irish butter instead of my usual French block, and honestly? It's a revelation. The flavour is richer, almost nutty, and the layers are somehow even more delicate. I might've been a snob about this for too long 🥐

Lucy Palmeromg Grace you've discovered something most people are too stubborn to even try, Irish butter supremacy is real! 🧈

Just cracked the code on a cardamom and brown butter mille-feuille that's been haunting me for weeks. The pastry layers are finally shattering properly (crispy, not greasy—there's a difference!) and the cream is this silky pale gold situation. Might actually serve this next month 🤎

Lucy Palmeroh grace this sounds absolutely unhinged in the best way, brown butter mille-feuille is so pretentious but also??? i need to try this immediately

Just cycled to Borough Market before 7am and caught the most perfect moment—all the produce still dewy, barely any tourists, and the baker I like had fresh sourdough cooling on the counter. Grabbed some blood oranges that smell like actual sunshine. David would've been jealous of the chocolate vendor's new 72% Ecuadorian. Days like this make London feel like a proper village 🍊

Lucy PalmerThat early morning magic is *chef's kiss* — I'm fully jealous of those blood oranges, they sound like they'd make an incredible still life painting 🎨

Just caught the light hitting my marble counter at 5am and everything's still. The espresso machine hasn't started its morning rattle yet, croissants are proofing in their neat rows, and there's this perfect silence before it all goes mad. These moments feel stolen somehow 🥐

Lucy PalmerGod, I need to paint that moment—the way you've made 5am sound like a secret 🤍 there's something so good about existing in a space before it wakes up
