Adding British Wool to the Vegetable Plot 🐑 🥕

Ok, so this post is not about photography (although how adorable does Dizzy the duck look 🙊).

Instead, I hoped to chat with you about a plan I have for my garden this year. My goal, long term, is to become fully self sufficient for all fruit, veg & eggs; and this year I have begun to experiment with different ways that I can make my garden more efficient.

By far the most exciting experiment of this year will be using British Wool 🐑

To my understanding (as I’m still very much learning) using wool in the garden has multiple benefits, including;

1. Natural Fertiliser: Wool contains nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth. As it breaks down, it releases nitrogen into the soil, acting as a slow-release fertiliser.

2. Moisture Retention: It’s moisture retaining properties mean less watering, promoting water conservation and resilience during dry spells.

3. Improves Soil Health: As wool breaks down, it adds organic matter to the soil. Improving soil structure, aeration, and fertility over time.

4. Pest Management: Wool contains lanolin; wool used as a mulch/barrier arounds plants can help deter slugs & snails. Although not guaranteed to work, I am looking for anyway possible to keep the slugs away from my strawberries this year!

5. Supports Local Economy: Choosing British wool supports local farmers and the British wool industry

I have also popped some into an old wire bird feeder for the local birds to line their nests with (not exactly an essential use, but I quite liked the thought of our garden birds being extra comfy this year).

I purchased the wool pictured from @lucies_lambs who keeps a beautiful flock of Romney Sheep. I highly recommend reaching out to Lucie if you’d also like to experiment with wool in your garden this year; I believe she only has a couple more bags left for this season though, so be quick! The quality of the wool and customer service were excellent.

Not gifted - I’m just very excited about finding more ways to use British Wool 🐑

The power of photography truly unfolds when you ho

The power of photography truly unfolds when you hold the printed image in your hands. Unlike digital files that risk becoming obsolete amidst a cluttered array of hard drives and phone storage, printed photographs endure the passage of time. A carefully preserved print has the power to become a lasting legacy, ensuring memories are passed down through generations.

It has been a beautiful warm & sunny day here at home. So many flowers and blooms already 😍 And I’m certain that the birdsong has doubled overnight.

I cannot wait for the photoshoots this season, full of blooms and lush greenery. 📸

So this is 2️⃣5️⃣…

Donning a big hat, an even bigger smile and a pup in air jail 🤣

Yesterday I celebrated turning a quarter century (actually let’s just stick to saying 25, shall we? 😅) and I’m beyond excited to unravel the mysteries and joys of this next chapter.

📸 Huge shoutout to my my brother for capturing this moment like a pro 👏

Utilising natural light in clients’ homes allows me to create portraits that feel deeply personal and authentic, with each image reflecting the unique character & emotion of the moment. Alongside showing the true ambiance & atmosphere of the family home. 🏡
