As I get ready to say goodbye to my flat, where I have lived for the last 6-1/2 years, I have so many thoughts about letting go. I wanted to share just one with you this week. xo, MAV

When MAV and I set out to document our year for A Year Between Friends, I expected that Thanksgiving would hold claim to much of November’s pages as we both love the holiday. However, in the hustle of food prep, the excitement of visiting family, and the happy burden of overflowing plates, I snapped just a handful of photos that year.

Today, a favorite English Apple Cake from Nigel Slater. This baby is perfect. The perfect size, the perfect taste, the perfect amount of sweetness and perfect served with fresh whipped cream or the like. Enjoy! xo, MAV
