To celebrate the beginnings of spring, I have teamed up with gorgeous local friends to offer you beautiful folk some springtime altar medicine…

I love making all kinds of herbal salts. Such a simple way of getting more flavour and nutrients into our meals. I use whatever is in abundance. At the moment, in early spring, that means three cornered garlic (onion weed), citrus and rosemary.

This time of year again. The time of blossom and bulbs flowering, of fresh green shoots, so green they are almost luminescent. Time hasn’t quickened quite yet…

It begins: with the palette. Finding that sweet spot where each colour holds is own while also holding hands with each other…

Quilts should be hand washed only when necessary, around once per year. Best done in the summer months to speed up the drying process.
