Behind the scenes

February 5, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

I was sorting through some of the gazillion photos on my laptop this morning and I thought it might amuse you to see some of the behind the scenes "help" I get from the older of my two eager assistants when I'm taking photos for this blog or instagram. The younger assistant, actually, is always … Continue reading Behind the scenes

2016: a year with my camera

January 8, 2016January 8, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

Just dropping by to tell you about an awesome new project I am doing in 2016: taking part in a (free!) online photography course for the whole of the year, called A Year with my Camera and run by Emma Davies. Every Thursday, the participants get an email from Emma with some tips and advice … Continue reading 2016: a year with my camera

Cabbage flower, deconstructed

January 7, 2016January 4, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

No, not the name of the winning dish in a Masterchef final, but rather my growing obsession with endlessly photographing lovely dead crap. There is a new market stall at the end of our road selling flowers on Saturdays and Sundays for pretty bargainous prices and I just can't resist when I walk by. I … Continue reading Cabbage flower, deconstructed

Leaf love

November 6, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 9 Comments

God, but this endless rain is grim, isn't it? I've been rained in for the past three days; I really need to invest in some proper waterproof clothing and shoes this year. (A lament that I make every November and then fail to act on in any way. This year, surely, will be the year … Continue reading Leaf love

Defining your Signature Style: a few photos

January 8, 2015January 4, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

When I first moved from print to online journalism about, oooh, 15 years ago now, everyone was abuzz with the “immediacy of the web.” Print is dead, they raved. (Okay, I might have raved a little bit as well…) Gone are the days of waiting to hear the news the day after it happens in … Continue reading Defining your Signature Style: a few photos

Photographing trees

October 2, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 7 Comments

Earlier this year I resolved to spend lots of time this summer photographing (and identifying) trees for my Instagram feed. (See A love of trees for more.) Now, if you follow me on instagram you can't fail to have been struck by a simple fact: you haven't remotely been spammed with hundreds and hundreds of … Continue reading Photographing trees

On the mantel: September

September 23, 2014September 22, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 15 Comments

You may recall that our house is in a near permanent state of being done upness. (I’m pretty sure that’s the official term that all property developers / architects / interior designers use…) We have little flurries of activity here and there, but fundamentally progress is slooooow. The last few weeks, however, have been one … Continue reading On the mantel: September

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

August break 2014: the last week

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

So, a whole month has passed, just like that. *Clicks fingers* Much as I love participating in projects like the August break, or my monthly garden moodboards, I am often put off by the side effect of an increasing awareness of time passing. You start out thinking, oh yes, a photo a day for August, … Continue reading August break 2014: the last week

August break 2014: week three

August 24, 2014August 24, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

Well, another week over and another weekend reached. Tick, result, breathe... It's started to feel a bit like that as I've been battling not only toddler daytime meltdowns but toddler and baby lack-of-nighttime-sleeping this week. I just keep trying to remind myself that one day I will look back on this time and remember only … Continue reading August break 2014: week three

Sunny afternoon photo from the Piano School courtyard. I normally always show the other side where the tree fern is (because, tree fern 💚) so here’s a view of the sunny end, with the pink wall... I designed and planted this all about 18 months ago now and it’s lovely to see how it’s settled in. Swipe for a better view of the new wall hanging herb planters, ready for summer!
It’s very remiss of me, but I haven’t yet mentioned that my Belle Époque tulips have started blooming. If you’ve been following me for more than a year you know what’s in store 😉 If you’re new, buckle up, there’s going to be some tulip spam ahead while these beauties are in flower...
Icymi: I caught up with the postponed Sunday night plant clinic last night. The question stickers weren’t working anymore, so I just had to type everything out, so anyone who asked me a question won’t get an alert I’m afraid! But head to my Stories for a read — and I’ll save to highlights today too. (Plant clinic 3.)
