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.

Moving?

Today we had the estate agent visit to give us an evaluation. We were pleasantly surprised at the news, we were out of negative equity and now in a position to move. Which has thrown us in a quandry, we have to act on this news if we are to move up the ladder. I'm feeling sad already about leaving my fledgling allotment, even though realistically I won't probably be moving till after the summer, it leaves a bitter sweet tinge to this growing season there. We are looking to move to Eastbourne, and will most likely not have much of a garden to speak of so I'm dearly hoping we will be able to find another allotment there and there isn't too much of a waiting list. The prospect of having to clear another plot fills me with dread though. Which reminds me, I received my allotment contract the other day, and must send it back signed.

Freyja was sick again today, we are all still suffering the last remnants of a bug I think, despite this we all enjoyed tempting fate by eating a large supper of moules frites which Hugh loved!
