Read moreThe End of the Line
On Monday Joelle and I boarded a boat for Greenwich. We were on our way to the Picture House to see The End of the Line; a feature length documentary about the negative impact of over fishing. Based on the book by Charles Clover, The End of the Line gives the viewer a startling reality [...]
Read moreSurf and turf
I’ve just had some pictures through showing what became of the turf from our recent LSBU Village fete. After an afternoon helping transform an urban Elephant and Castle street into a rural idyll for an afternoon, the turf set off to its new home at the community farm at Lambourne End Outdoor Centre in Essex. [...]
Read moreTomato joy
We are very proud tomato plant owners today. The constant attention (watering and a few words of encouragement) has resulted in a plump, juicy red tomato. Joelle and I split the first offering between us and it was lovely and sweet.
There are a number of other tomatoes ready to ripen on the plant, we [...]
Trans Europe Express
I recently got back from some rather adventurous holidays, travelling overland from London to Istanbul. It’s certainly not the fastest way to travel (three days in one go, though we spread it out over a week). But it’s infinitely more comfortable and interesting than flying, as well as a lot less guilt-inducing.

But the most impressive resident was Bella, a GINOURMOUS saddleback pig, I was genuinely shocked at her vastness! I highly recommend visiting Bella and her farmyard [...]
Read moreFete fun – this Saturday
If you’re at a loose end in London this weekend drop by the London South Bank University village fete for an afternoon of live music, fete stalls, crafts and kids entertainment. We’ve arranged a host of activities to keep the whole family occupied including an interactive ukulele band, breakdance lessons, the wonderful South London Jazz [...]
Read moreBasil?
Alas, the Seventeen chili growing competition has come to an abrupt end. There are still two plants hanging on in there, but with a combined leaf total of one, it doesn’t look like they’ll last much longer.
So to keep our green fingers busy, we’re starting a new basil growing contest. Possibly with a pesto [...]
Meat Free Mondays
An article in a newspaper magazine drew my attention to this campaign: Meat Free Mondays is an initiative inspired by the U.S movement, Meatless Mondays. The goal is to help reduce meat consumption by 15% in order to improve personal health and the health of our planet. The UK campaign is being backed by Sir [...]
