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.

The marrows will be monstrous

It's been a long while hasn't it? I've been quite poorly with a post-natal illness that I won't trouble you with the details here, but lets just say it's been all consuming and debilitating, and I'm still fighting off the remnants. I've been so ill I've not actually thought about the allotment at all. Until now. I'm thinking it's probably looking like a primeval jungle, all knarled roots and tendrils poking out from every crevice, with threatening trifid tendencies! ...and that's not even thinking about how huge a courgette can get in 3 weeks. Oh dear. Well maybe I will head over there on Sunday if my darling other half will oblige. So watch this space, and see what a neglected plot looks like in high summer after 3 weeks of rain.
