The first apples have been harvested from the new allotment this week so Autumn must be on it’s way. Even if you haven’t noticed the buckets starting to appear at the end of driveways with ‘Free Apples’ signs popping out the top, the changing light...

After my plans taking an unexpected turn in recent weeks, my focus has turned to my own garden. There’s something special about spending time within your own outdoor space while the sun shines and the breeze is warm. Having nurtured...

Ah, May! The month of first BBQs, alliums and Chelsea Flower Show. I’m always sad to see Spring go but the foxgloves distract me just enough to not feel it too deeply. One of my all time favourite flowers is…

I’m going to be honest with you right now… I’ve had to fight the urge SO HARD this month for the guide to not simply be ‘stay inside and hope for better weather in May’. I’ve officially entered the grumpy stage of this bout of British weather. Aside from…

Oooooh, the ‘ber’ months have arrived! I would argue that September to December are the best months of the year, although I know a few people who would disagree (including a lovely blonde florist friend of mine). Soon the pumpkins will be ready…

Oh sunshine, is that you?! It’s quite unbelievable just how different the last few weeks’ weather has been in comparison to this time last year…
