Kirsties Handmade Fair. London. September 2015

Fed up of shopping? I know there are many things I'd rather do.

So here's one way to freshen up your clothes for autumn!

On a sunny April day in the Easter holidays I held a foraging & making day for a group of girls; – so amidst lots of chat, we collected and made:

Crystallised Primroses – then used them on top of prettily iced cakes

Nettle soup – which we ate for lunch (yes, I was surprised that all ate it!)

Wild Garlic Pesto – to take home for supper.

See more for lots of pictures & how we did it.

Roses on Exmoor.

Now it is the height of 'Rose Season' - here's my thoughts on what roses have worked well for me.

On a rainy February half term day I asked Richard from Wind Rush Willows  in Exeter to teach us how to make a living willow arbor.

We are thrilled to be mentioned in Channel 4's programe on Liberty of London.

Afraid not much of a blog - really just an update. Due to madly high levels of spamming I inadvertantly deleated all your lovely comments as well as the spam ones - sorry!

But the good news is it is easier to comment on any blogs you like without having to log in - but just to prove you are human you will need to fill in the 'captcha' code.

That's it for now!
