Love this idea for letterpress printed seed packets. Seeds are one of the things I often share with my clients so it would be lovely to have my own printed packets. Another project to add to the list.
Love Rose’s blog too 
People often forget how many lovely parks and open spaces London has, even away from the centre.
Wanstead Park happens to be down the road from me and it has lovely bluebell woods.
Its also pretty clear on the bluebell code to protect the species.
Which I think is a good thing.
A little haven between the roar of the North Circular and the A102M.
There’s still plenty of wild garlic to be had this season.
The leaves are what most people use, in salads, in pesto, in hummous, in bread…
But I like the flowers in a salad too because they look so pretty.
Here’s one in case you aren’t sure what you are looking for
Here’s a post by Lynne of greedypiglet with some of my first letterpress attempts (well the ones I was prepared to actually send to people)
The sun came out today and the weather was glorious.
So I went for a walk round near where I live.
I always forget what a leafy part of London it is.
En route I passed the two parish churches.
The one on the left is St Mary’s built in 1787 to a classical design by Thomas Hardwick. It is grade 1 listed an has a virtually unaltered interior it is close to the site of the medieval parish church which was demolished.
The one on the right is Christ Church built after Wanstead became popular in the mid Victorian era with the building of what is now the Epping branch of the central line. The church was designed by George Gilbert Scott in the gothic style. It was built and expanded over the period 1860-1889.
I love church architecture, but I have yet to go inside either of these lovely buildings.
This morning two people tweeted they were having yummy sounding eggy breakfasts.
@Ailbhetweets was having eggs with dippy soldiers.
@leafhsetherapy was having poached eggies on toast.
I think it is both their birthdays so they kind of deserve eggy breakfast.
Me, its not my birthday, but hey I fancied eggs anyway so I had fried on toast mmmm.
It’s Tuesday, it’s damp. Why ever not have eggy breakfast I say!
Eek its been ages since I posted anything about progress on my challenge.
That might be because its slipped somewhat. I did quite well for the rest of January, but some February and March I’ve slipped rather a long way off target.
Do I’ve done a recalculation and now I need to do 4 miles a day. Which in theory is still do-able although recent performance suggests it might be quite hard. I’ll definitely be trying to catch up with some cycling when we get to summer.
I’ve learnt though that although I love a nice stroll on a sunny day I really truly am a fair weather walker. As soon as its cold or damp I can find a million better things to do than go for a bracing soggy walk.
I’m hoping now that we have Spring here I’ll be minded to go out more often and I’m also going to try a tactic of short walks round the block spaced out across the day. I’m sure in terms of fitness it probably not as good for you but in terms of regular fresh air away from my desk it might just be better.
And it could just get me back in the swing of it.
I hope so!
