Fairlight.

A weekend bolt to Fairlight for family, fabric and fauna added to my spring delight.

A carpet of Cow Parsley, Bluebells and Ferns in Fairlight Glen have provided inspiration for the woodland bed back in our small corner. All I need first is to end the reign of the dreaded Blue Alkanet...

If only this sea of wild garlic were closer to home, it would come rather in handy for nettle soup!

While we missed out on this particular pungent hoard, I did come home with a rather lovely crop of fabric from Wayward Vintage in St Leonard's - a more sedate shopping experience than their stall in Portobello Road and with the most delightful sound track and shop assistant you could possibly wish for. I recommend a day trip.


Now I simply need to conjour up a needlework project or two...
