Thursday morning I am waiting to go back to the Slaughter House; the butcher has called yesterday to say that he has all my ‘Crepines’ so I am going to collect them. I just got back last night from the […]
I LOVE MY ALLOTMENT A rope joined me to the mullein. We used garden canes to knit the string used in the survey of beds. I slept next to the currant bush and kissed the love-in-a-mist. Judith sewed me to […]

TABLES Rain yesterday meant a day to stay indoors, sort through material and data, and begin to put it into some sort of order. Also a good opportunity to identify areas where more information is needed. Weather forecast good for […]
SEWING Stitches. Lots of the names link with the allotment: seeding, snail trail, stem, thorn, lazy daisy, fern. Our roots are in the land and being here day after day brings this to mind. My head rings with the intertwining […]
