Vegetable patch

IMG_3231 - small
Every Spring my mum, who has very green fingers, grows a variety of herbs and vegetables in our garden, with more varieties being added every year. This year as we are shooting through Summer lots of the plants are now bearing their offerings which are now ripe and ready to be picked. Here we have aubergines, chillies, French beans and tomatoes (you may wonder why some are still green though – my mum likes to add these to cooking to give food a tangy kick). There’s also others in our garden and as we head towards the end of Summer they too will be ready to enjoy

I’d love to hear what others are growing in their gardens and whether you’ve had a chance to enjoy them yet

Egyptian carvings

I came across these carvings in Harrods recently, in an area called the Egyptian escalator (which did include an actual escalator too) and thought they looked really realistic. There were lots of Egyptian carvings, patterns and statues dotted around, all with lots of detail and intricate patterns.
I hope to go to Egypt one day and see the real tombs and pyramids which are seeped in history, but for now maybe I’ll visit the British Museum and see the Egyptian exhibitions there

A red drop

I was out and about in London, Knightsbridge recently and came across this interesting art installation.

I have no idea who created it or what for but I really like the layers of glass that have been used to build up the drop in a vivid red colour

I would love to hear from you if you have more information about this artwork. In the meantime I’ll just enjoy it as it is and keep an eye out for more interesting objects about town
