Save this for next Sunday’s bake up.
A favourite at every high tea we host at .

These rosemary, olive and sundried tomato scones have appeared on more tables than I can count. They are best when warm from the oven, fragrant with rosemary and just savoury enough to sit comfortably beside a proper pot of tea.

If you’d like to make them at home, here’s the recipe for 12.

Rosemary, Olive & Sundried Tomato Scones

375g self-raising flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
½ cup pitted olives, chopped
½ cup sundried tomatoes, chopped and well drained
75g cold butter, cubed
250ml milk
1 egg, lightly whisked

Bake at 200°C for 15–18 minutes until golden.

Serve warm with herb butter (my fav) or whipped feta.

A pot of tea is recommended.

A tea should feel at home in the place it comes from.

Loose leaf tea often gets treated as something complicated or reserved for special occasions.

It really isn’t.

A pot of tea is one of the simplest rituals to bring back into your day.

Use fresh water. Warm the pot. Give the leaves space to open. Let time do its work.

You’ll notice more flavour, more aroma and a cup that feels slower somehow.

This is how I make the perfect pot at home.

Save this for your next quiet morning.

The Barossa has a way of making the morning feel older than the day ahead of it.
The roads are quiet.
The light sits low.
The buildings hold their warmth differently.

This is the pace The Merry Wolf belongs to.
Not hurried.
Not polished too brightly.
Just steady, generous, and made for the first part of the day.

A Barossa morning doesn’t rush not rush to announce itself.

Autumn mornings in the Barossa.
Fresh air through the kitchen door.
Drizzle some days.
Bright sun by lunch.
The first fire lit for the season.
Slippers back on.

There are breakfasts you barely remember eating.

Then there are the occasional ones where the kettle is already on, the house is quiet, and you sit down long enough to taste the jam properly.

Those mornings feel different for the rest of the day.

I wasn’t always a morning person.
But after three children, I learned there is a small part of the day that can still belong to me.

Before the noise.
Before the questions.
Before anyone needs anything.

When your head is clear.

Before the world gets in.

Before the world gets in, the morning has its own shape.

The kettle goes on.
The house is not fully awake.
The light finds the bench before anyone has touched it.

It is not a grand ritual.
It is a small one.

But some mornings are saved by small things.

The Merry Wolf belongs here.
