The garden in our house is a source of both great joy and great frustration to me. It was one of the major selling points when we bought the place a year ago: a 60 foot garden! In London! But (as I know I've mentioned before, so my apologies to regular readers) it was also … Continue reading Autumn in the garden

Garden moodboard: October
More than a week in to October, but here, finally, is my monthly garden moodboard. I'm quite excited about my garden at the moment. It's currently in a half dug state. We're taking up some of the many (many!) flowerbeds and replacing with turf. The rhododendron bed is going, along with half the width of … Continue reading Garden moodboard: October

AKA the last day! So this is it, people, my very last photo of the day. My last contribution to the August break. This is me. Collapsed in bed, my hand resting on my weary brow. A subtle photographic representation of how absolutely bloody exhausted I am from posting a photo (or sometimes more than … Continue reading A photo a day: August 31st

Do you remember my blogging view, the view I see when I sit here writing my blog? Well, this morning I was sitting in the chair in front of the window, looking the opposite way for once and this was my view in that direction: The electricity cables are the only thing that would let … Continue reading A photo a day: August 30th

I wish it would surprise you if I told you that I still have a wedding present to finish making for my sister who got married in May. (I wish it would surprise me too.) I did give her most of her presents at the time, but I had an idea to pretty up some … Continue reading A photo a day: August 28th

Apologies to those who follow me on Instagram, as you will have already seen this, but I couldn't resist posting it here too. Outside my local junk shop, old chisels and the like were lined up on a table. I was sorely, sorely tempted to buy the whole lot of them... Joining in with the … Continue reading A photo a day: August 26th

I'm half way through a big detailed post about all my wedding flowers, which I was planning on publishing today. But sitting down just now to finish it off, I discover I've got a fuzzy Friday evening head on, so the words don't feel like coming out. Instead, here is a little sneak peek of … Continue reading A photo a day: August 23rd
A photo a day: August 22nd
Oh dear me, no photo for the day yesterday. I was absolutely determined that I was going to manage to post a picture every single day this month, but yesterday passed by in a blear of exhaustion as I'd got up at 3.30am to go to the New Covent Garden flower market for a trial … Continue reading A photo a day: August 22nd

Phew, this August break is almost breaking me. Who knew it would be quite so hard taking and posting a photo every single day?! For only the second time this month, I'm following the official themes. Today is taste. Here are some of my tomatoes in the greenhouse, ripening on the vine. Soon ready for … Continue reading A photo a day: August 20th
