Garden moodboard: September

September 8, 2014September 8, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

It's quite possible, looking at this month's moodboard, that my love for white flowers might be getting a little out-of-hand. But what white flowers they are! Along the bottom row there is a white cosmos ('Purity'), with a small daisyish flower next to it, followed by Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus, a current obsession of mine). … Continue reading Garden moodboard: September

Garden moodboard: August 2014

August 1, 2014April 23, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 7 Comments

Oh the joys of an English summer! July was gloriously sunny for the most part and my garden has been putting forth some of my favourite flowers as a result. If last month was a little bare, this month has surely been making up for it, with snapdragons, pink roses, white cosmos, frothy nigellas and … Continue reading Garden moodboard: August 2014

Garden moodboard: July

July 2, 2014September 8, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

I had a bit of a conundrum with my garden moodboard this month. On Saturday morning, I was standing in the middle of the garden, secateurs in hand, ready to snip snip snip away at lots of nice flowers to photograph them – as is my wont every month. But as I looked round my … Continue reading Garden moodboard: July

Garden moodboard: June

June 3, 2014September 8, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 7 Comments

I love my garden, but it sometimes feels as if I am in constant battle with it. And it with me. When I first started taking photographs for these garden moodboards, in May last year, I imagined that by the following year my whole entire garden would look beautiful, not just the odd flower. More … Continue reading Garden moodboard: June

Garden moodboard: May

May 6, 2014September 8, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 11 Comments

No brain power for much chat today, with a one-week-old newborn, but I did manage to pop out into the garden yesterday morning to gather some flowers for my May moodboard… (For once) I’ll just let the photos do the talking….     This marks a full year since I started taking these photos. Interesting … Continue reading Garden moodboard: May

Garden moodboard: April

April 4, 2014September 8, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 16 Comments

After nearly a year of photographing these monthly garden moodboards, I've come to realise that getting the main shot is a little like taking a group family photo. You line everyone up neatly, check they're standing in a good position, look through the lens, go back to the group, move someone a little, ask someone … Continue reading Garden moodboard: April

Garden moodboard: March

March 15, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

Isn’t Spring bloody great? I’m practically elated to be back to my garden in time for this fabulous early March weather. As I collected the flowers for these pictures, the sproglet was careening up and down the garden (as full as Spring fever as I am), the air was scented with blossom from next door’s … Continue reading Garden moodboard: March

Garden moodboard: February

February 17, 2014February 16, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

It's slightly ironic (in the non-Alanis Morissette sense of the word) that when I have horticulture exams to revise for, my garden becomes completely abandoned. Any spare time I have must be spent revising, not weeding, planting or pottering about with secateurs. And so it is, that I am publishing my monthly garden moodboard 17 … Continue reading Garden moodboard: February

Garden moodboard: January

January 13, 2014January 12, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

Hot on the heels of my lateness with new year’s resolutions (or lack thereof) I am also running a good few weeks late with my garden moodboard for January. What can I say, it’s been pissing it down outside and there is not a single new plant to show you from my Mum’s garden since … Continue reading Garden moodboard: January

Garden moodboard: December

December 2, 2013December 1, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

Since I haven't seen our house for a fortnight now, I can only imagine what the garden is looking like in December. (Covered in builder's tools, bricks and building dust I would guess...) Here at my Mum's, I've a few evergreen plants to show you that really sum up the festive month of December. Actually, … Continue reading Garden moodboard: December

My ex bought me flowers this week because he knew I was having a rough time. Choosing to end our marriage a few years ago was one of the bravest and scariest things I have ever done. The thing that terrified me the most was that there were almost no role models I could look to for an amicably divorced couple (literally just one incredible friend, who was and is so unbelievably important to me) and I wondered if the idea I had of an amicable separation that didn’t irreparably fuck up our kids was just a ridiculous fantasy. (Even my therapist at the time heavily hinted that it was…) Of course, it hasn’t always been straightforward, but it is the nicest feeling to realise that the kind and supportive person I chose to start a relationship with 14 years ago is now a kind and supportive friend who I can turn to when I’m overwhelmed.
After the excitement of having a story chosen for an anthology and another shortlisted in a writing competition at the start of the year, I decided to get some new bio photos taken professionally. I did a shoot with the absolutely lovely @camillagreenwellphotography and am soooo happy with the results! These are a few of my faves. Camilla was so incredibly lovely, and also deeply patient of the fact I am the most awkward person ever in front of a camera, ha ha. (What do people DO with their arms?!)
It’s finally that time of year again…
Rainy Saturday morning. Off to exercise class and then back home to curl up on the sofa and read a book. (Almost tempted to light a fire, the weather is so fucking bleak for April 1st…)
