I’m actually away from home at the moment, so it’s probably not the best moment to file an update on the garden, after all. Plus I think I used up the best photos on the previous post. So in the meantime, I thought I would point you in the direction of a few other nice [...]

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
