Forgive me, please, for the recent hiatus. I blame this case of Blog Neglect on a combination of camera headaches, post-holiday work backlog, and the weather being just too damned good to do much of anything that involves being indoors in front of a computer.

MY CURRENT BOOKS
Homemade: Gorgeous Things to Make with Love
with Ros Badger
(Collins £20).
People have been talking about the Weekend Book in messages here, so I thought I would put a cover up (click for a link to order it) - and one of my next book (written with my friend Ros Badger ) - which will be out in early May. As people who have always made things at home - Ros is a great knitter and crocheter, and I love making things from the garden, whether that's planting up pots as presents, cooking chutney and jams or festooning the house with leaves and flowers - we've collected some of what we think are our best ideas into a book of around 80 projects, all of which have all been beautifully photographed. For more on these books, and the others that I have written, and links to order them, please go to my website and click on Books.
The Wonderful Weekend Book: Reclaim Life's Simple Pleasures
