Welcome to my allotment blog
This is still pretty new for me. I spend my working days in a nasty black glass box of an office in front of a computer all day, mon-fri. I live in a flat with no outside space. I needed to get back in touch with nature and try to 'grow my own'. I got my allotment in April 09, after a year of waiting, and got stuck straight in with only books, the internet and guesswork to guide me. This blog charts my progress from that very first day. I hope you enjoy reading my ramblings, ups and downs and enjoy seeing photos of my progress.

I'd love to hear from you so please leave a comment...

About Me

I'm a novice gardener and a contemporary kiln-fused glass artist and crafter, living and working in Cheltenham, UK, on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds. By day I work as a graphic designer for a children's publisher and create all my glassy goodies in my 'spare time'. I love creating and I hope you enjoy seeing (/purchasing?!) my work and reading my waffle in this blog. Do take a look at my website: http://www.handmadeheaven.biz/
