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.

Oh my

I was just checking my blog list and chanced upon Elspeth Thompson's page, I was horrified to find she'd taken her own life in April. It's such a shock, I think we all feel we know someone when we read into people's lives. She was a fantastic writer and fanatical writer, what a talent cut short. I feel so much for her daughter, how sad. Her obituary is in the Telegraph. I shall feel strange when I see her book by my bed tonight.
