My parents let me turn the bottom of our garden into a vegetable plot. I’ve been reading a lot about edible gardening and polyculture and I’ve been really inspired by Alys Fowler so I tho...
I’m glad that I still get to visit London all the time. I definitely need to catch up on good coffee.
I’m trying to make the most of being unemployed. Enjoying the little things and trying to create as much as I can.
New blog. Going to make this work. A place for me to store memories of things I’ve made, places I’ve been and things I’ve seen.
I’ve got some days off from work and I was hoping to spend most of it out in the sunshine, but every time I step out of the door it starts raining. So today I spent the day drawing and listenin...
So I got all my hair cut off and I’m really loving having short hair. I’ve been really unhappy with how my hair looks but I think short hair really suits me. The plan now then is to cut i...
I’ve been a bit AWOL. The rest of the winter took a turn for the worse and my mental health and relationship suffered. But now the sun is starting to come out and I’m taking steps to try ...
In comparison to 2009, which was perhaps the worst year of my whole life, 2010 was a walk in the park! It didn’t start off too great though, I was evicted from the house I shared with someone I...
Mum, Dad and I went shopping the sales yesterday – and I came back with an early birthday present! I’ve always threatened to get into photography, but I’ve never had the time or pat...
Bad News. The Bobbin Workshop is over. Alexis is gone. Last Wednesday the Bobbin owners told us that a combination of bad weather, the low season and a recession has meant that the workshop has been...
Saturday. I’m at work. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to working on Saturdays, hundreds of people walking past the shop spending time with the people they care about. It’s p...
I think I’m finally settling into a routine at work. Every hour or so we sit down to have a break in the workshop, which means I now have time to catch up with blogs…and hopefully post on...
Blogging was going so well! Working at Bobbin, although great, has completely taken away any spare time I had. I get up go to work, come home and go to sleep. Repeat. In the next few weeks it’s...
Today is my last day at Defra. As much as I can’t wait to get away from here it will be weird leaving my first proper job. I’ll be glad to no longer have to put up with the bigots or bein...
Whenever I go back to see my parents I have such conflicting feelings about the town I did most of my growing up in. Now that I’m older I can see a lot more of its beauty and appreciate how qui...
When we drove my sister back to University in Cheltenham, we decided to make a weekend end of it so we stayed in a hotel in the town. On Monday we went to Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Willi...
I’m back at my parents house this week and I’ve been trying to make the most of the last of summer and being out in the country side. On Saturday we were up bright and early and off to th...
I have some exciting new to tell you! Last Thursday, on a boring afternoon in the office I got a call from a lovely sounding lady saying that she co-owned a wonderful bike shop, called Bobbin Bicycle...
I’m going to try and start some regular posts on this blog, and Tuesday’s are going to be music posts. I’ll post a new band that I’m loving at the moment and an old favourite....
After being inspired by wonderful sewing bloggers such as field guided and beautiful Liberty fabrics I’m going to buy myself a sewing machine and start making my own clothes. Also, it’s p...
Last night I had a nice dream for the first time in about two months. Every morning I have been waking up close to tears and end up in a foul mood all day, I was beginning to dread going to sleep. S...
I’m going to try and stop wasting my money on buying things for instant gratification just because they are in a shop close to me. Instead I’m going to try and save up and buy nicer thing...
Sorry to keep disapprearing from the internet, I don’t knwo what it is, just sometimes I can’t cope with all these internet commitments I get involved in and I freak out and just shut off...
