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.

Views

Here are some views of the plot now the greenery is thickening up.
Below is the view from the road, over the hay field


From the boundary gate, my plot is the fourth, you can see my compost heap and red chair

  1. It looks like a lovely rural setting or is it just how the photo was taken?

  2. Yes it's pretty rural, basically just a corner allocated off a field where sheep are grazed in the winter and hay is grown in the summer. It's on the edge of our village, there are some great views/sunsets when you look west over the fields.
