Every month, Notes from The Garden & Beyond is posted from my studio in Kent, England - a place where the boundary between the vegetable patch and the improbable is, frankly, unreliable at best.

 

It's made for anyone who enjoys muddy boots, morning cuppa's in the garden, and has the sense that something secret stirs beneath the leaves.​​​​

​

You'll get a mixture of the following: 

​

• Seasonal notes from the garden (what’s growing, what’s refusing to grow, and what’s growing despite strict instructions not to)

• Sightings from the Wild Beyond (the bit of land just past the compost heap where things appear that definitely weren’t in last year’s seed catalogue)

• A draft chapter from the unfolding story (because the characters insist on doing things and someone has to write it down)

• An illustrated artefact or piece of evidence (maps, sketches, oddities, and items that may or may not have been found under a suspiciously warm rock)

• An art print (for your wall, your journal, or to hide under a floorboard for future archaeologists)

• A recipe or seasonal tip (because even in worlds full of strange creatures, people still need to eat)

​​

Part garden journal, part field report, part story‑in‑progress, all delivered with the calm, slightly exasperated tone of someone who has accepted that reality is not entirely under their control.
