a herb shelf thingy i constructed out of things i found while clearing the garden. on top i’ve got two chamomile, underneath is repotted supermarket thyme and parsley. everything looks a bit anaemic cos it was all in dire need of repotting, but this system has kept the pests off the younglings and kept everything healthy and watered/sunned. beaut. gonna do the same for my chillies, because slugs seem to have a spice tolerance these days.

a monster focaccia i made a couple of weeks ago (there is barely ever any time to tell the internet how good i am these days). the tin is about half a metre long and my housemates and i devoured it in about a day and a half.

close up of the Old Shale Shetland Lace pattern on the Ondine scarf. Shame the close-up has washed out the rich khaki colour of the yarn.
