  • Dusk (and Kevin calling Oscar). A little (unedited) film.

    Cornwell evening from Anknel and Burblets on Vimeo. A lot of people seem to like my Instagrams of the daily view and Alex had been asking me for some time what it sounded like out here. So I finally read the instructions on how to use my 5d to shoot video. It took ages to…

  • Sister Mag Daylesford White Christmas feature

    A Daylesford White Christmas feature and recipes by moi – from page 132 to 163 in the December issue of Sister Magazine. You’ll see the photos from my rainy market garden trip (where I had my eureka moment) and the recipes I spent the October mid-term week creating up at Honeysuckle Cottage with the girls.…

  • The Family Annual 2011

    The last time I did the family albums was the day Edith was born, back in 2009. As I slowly get back into things one of the first things on my list was to catch up on these. The ever-important family heirlooms; I remember my first attempt at a family album I was outside in…

  • Get your Instagrams printed (by nice people)

    I’m a huge fan of Copygram. I know some people might freak out at the mention of the word copy – but it’s not about nicking people’s pictures at all – Copygram does a great job of being flickr for Instagram – and they really don’t let you steal photos at all. You can do…

  • Time for a cup of tea. And a lie down.

    Weekend in our house is gardening time. In amongst managing the Edith behaviour. Edith’s terrible twos are peaking. Edith is now three. There was a small Edith break when Astrid and I went to the school open day where our job is to stand outisde and talk to the dads in the garden. Astrid’s job…

  • A hive of activity

    Spring is officially here – it’s the 21st of March – and to prove it I’m as busy as a little bee. There’s a lemon cake in the oven, I’ve just baked a lovely loaf of Einkorn and Spelt bread and I’m off to the Country Living Fair in a few minutes. My Lightroom is…

  • In the kitchen

    Making the most of my last week off work I appear to have begun writing and photographing my recipes and even written a table of contents. I say I appear to have, because I was sitting down to plan out an entirely differnent book and when I put pen to paper about sixty recipes reeled…

  • Astrid says…

    “Now I’ve seen all the nice photos you’ve taken of Edith recently, Mummy, you’re allowed to take photographs of me again now too.”

  • The sweet sweet smell of Rarotonga

    Into our fifth day at The Beach Place – fittingly right on the beach – at Tikioki, nestled between Muri and Titikavaka on the south eastern coast of Rarotonga. We arrived to blistering hot sun, a lovely long afternoon walk along a tropical plant lined road, on a grassy footpath, up to Muri village shops…

  • returning

    I’m back online. twitter flickr getty Lovely NZ will be being tended to again, soon too. Less than a week in this house. The cats fly out on Tuesday. We fly on the 16th after a couple of weeks at my brother’s. Hong Kong first. Then Auckland – currently creaking under the weight of all…

  • botanical, sometimes

    Forgot to say, I’m back on flickr – every now and again. a+b and ratsmagic.

  • wenn der frühling kommt

    Wenn der Frühling kommt, Von den Bergen schaut, Wenn der Schnee im Tal Und von den Hügeln taut, Wenn die Finken schlagen Und zu Neste tragen, Dann beginnt die liebe, goldne Zeit
