eat my garden

| No Comments

That's exactly what I intend to do since doing a little foraging with professional forager Miles Irving. At the recent Thames Festival Miles managed to locate at least 15 edible plants, nuts and berries in a tiny bit of land, in the centre of The City, just off busy Thames Street. So there must be plenty to eat in my rather overgrown garden. If you're keen to know more check out his fabulous book or maybe attend one of his special courses which includes a lunch made from foraged food. Our ancient ancestors knew all about living off the land. Nature can still provide for us - if we respect it.

Last night Louise and Sofia went to the YSH london ten exhibtion at the rather swanky ( if difficult to locate) westbourne studio's. It was a chance for ten top uk designers to showcase their wares - textiles, fashion and interiors.

It is worth a look there are some unique items and a little shop where you can purchase things which catch your eye.
There is a rather lovely bar which serves great drinks (ouch!)
The exhibition is open all week... . More info.

mad man on a bike

Our nick (aka crazy bike man) reached Ross on Wye last night and despite the torrential rain has set off again this morning. He has completed a further 32 miles this morning, having done 85 miles yesterday.
He is in a cafe, having a cup of tea and some well deserved cake.

He has a further 95 miles to do today travelling through the wet hills of Brecon - less cake and more cycling!

The ride is in aid of the pufnda orphanage - keep up the good work nick ( from the cosy office!)
