GR: We are already failing to respond appropriately to this national disaster. Trump and friends will try to further dampen our response. “During the record hot year of 2016, both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extents took a huge hit. “Extreme warmth in the Arctic helped to produce leading losses there. Values that began during […]

You may recall that I’ve become involved with a food growing project at the local high school in Reepham. ‘The Allotment Project’ is the brainchild of teacher Matt Willer who has put energy and ideas into action on a not very promising (very wet) plot at the back end of the School playing field.
Also, as you will see by the photographs, the Sixth Formers have done a great job at preparing the largest raised bed by using old bricks (donated by a parent who is a builder).
Here is a guest article written by Chris McLaughlin and provided by Fix.com! When beginner gardeners ask me which plants are hardy and forgiving, my answer is always herbs. If a busy gardener asks me which plants will thrive in near-neglect, my answer is herbs. When a foodie gardener asks about fast-growing plants that will […]

The road to Sintra is paved with sweet temptations. We stopped for a coffee at Pastelaria Gregório and couldn’t resist eating one of their travesseiros (pillows). They were still warm, the layers of dough fusing with the rich almond cream. Our palates were so delighted that we asked for a queijada, another classic Sintra pastry. […]
In early October, I was invited by John Aitken and Jane Brake of the Institute of Urban Dreaming to visit the Pendleton Estate in Salford, one a number of people who have visited.

I am dying to share my photos of the beautiful RHS gardens at Harlow Carr in North Yorkshire. I couldn’t have asked for better weather, or a better time to see these rich autumnal colours. A slide show will do far better justice to the gardens than any amount of words, so here it is! […]
Skimmia are a species of medium sized evergreen shrubs originating from the Himalayas, C. They flower early, over winter, so are a good plant to give colour and fragrance when there is little else. They are a good plant as they are hardy, easy to grow and require little maintenance; they also grow well in…

The trouble with going to floristry evening classes is that our flat is just rammed with flowers. Life can be so difficult sometimes. My hand-tied bouquet from last week was getting tired, so I dismantled it and upcycled the surviving stems along with a few blooms from our garden into new vases. This week, the […]
The Quinta das Cerejeiras Reserva is a smooth, beguiling red wine that has enlivened many of our dinner parties. So, it was with great anticipation that we drove to Bombarral, 70 km north of Lisbon, to meet the producer of this precious nectar. We were received by Ana Reis. She is the great-granddaughter of a wine legend: […]
