About me



I'm a half Finnish designer who has since taken a break to bring up my children. I used to work in Graphic Design, but now I prefer working with textiles and illustration. This blog is about my allotment and garden. I have been gardening for many years and grew up watching my mum and dad do the same. I began my allotment in Jan 2010 in memory of my father who passed a way just before then. I also love cooking and finding inventive and delicious ways to make my produce into meals. I'm growing with my experiences, and welcome any helpful advice! Sometime soon I hope to use my garden as inspiration for my art.

Winter walk

When we arrived home this afternoon, we quickly took the kids out for a walk to get some fresh air after the long drive. The rain has continued to add to our flooded field opposite, I just hope it clears soon as it just can't go on like that. Freyja wasn't too happy as her cough is really bad now and I'm paranoid about her getting cold and it turning to something nasty like a chest infection. So we kept the walk short, but there is something I really love about twilight in winter, thinking everyone is tucked up inside and the countryside itself is sleeping. I was looking at pictures of last spring and can't wait for it to come around again already - that luridly lush green that saturates everything for two months. Sadly this is the time I will think most of dad, as it was his birthday time, but now we will celebrate Freyja's 1st birthday instead. Love to you dad, thinking of you today. x
