  • Mister Pip’s Rhubarb Cake
    Book group food is a conundrum, too little and readers are left dissatisfied, too much and it extends into dinner party territory. My book group’s journey through good reads and the accompanying food traces its nervous beginnings with a bowl … Continue reading →

Past Ramblings

Sow and Grow

promenadeplantings

An urbanite living on the south coast of England who spends as much time gardening as possible, and if not actually gardening at least thinking about it.

Having recently spent a wonderful winter in the French Alps I'm now back focusing on my allotment, well at least trying to catch up with all that needs doing.

I'm currently exploring ideas for writing, photography and social media - let's see where it leads!

Essentially it's all about growing, eating, sharing and living.
