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.

Lilac

Our Lilac tree has come into bloom, and it's fabulous. I don't think I truly appreciated this tree when we moved in three years ago, now each spring I look forward to it flowering even more, as it signals the start of summer to me. Shame the blossoms don't keep well once cut.

    I can remember taking bunches of lilac to school - then they went out of fashion didn't they? It was a shame as they are lovely.

    I don't remember taking lilac to school, I do remember some children wearing oak leaves on oak apple day, I very much doubt that is done these days!
