Isn’t this wonderful? It’s another of the magical Mandrake roots on display at the Pitt Rivers museum in Oxford.
If you know of anyone who might have a #mandrake root like this in either a public or private collection do let me know, please get in touch. Thankyou!

My Ethnobotany dissertation is at last submitted! It’s only taken three years to complete my masters, but I’ve finally done it.
Fairly sure I’ve done enough to pass, so here’s a celebratory photo of my cat Moona, where she sat whilst I was writing up.

I’m not with my kids so I went out alone to enjoy the solstice sunset last night. I love the height of summer light, when everything is so full of life and vitality. It is still so green this year, when it is normally quite brown and crispy by now!

Hi friends
Please sign this petition to help save my Ethnobotany masters at University of Kent.
This is the only degree of its kind in the world.

Friday night sketching. Maybe not my most flattering look but fairly accurate!

I've just had a fantastic weekend on an intensive speaker training with Paul Preston.
On the final afternoon I won the peer voted ultimate "speaker shoot-out" amongst formidable competition from my fellow students, which I feel is worthy of a slightly strange fireworks montage!
Luxmuralis at Canterbury Cathedral: a stunning light show in an amazing building. #luxmuralis #canterbury #canterburycathedral #visitkent #kent #discoverkent #cathedral @luxmuralis
Luxmuralis at Canterbury Cathedral with both the kids this time. It’s such a stunning way to experience the phenomenal architecture of this ancient building. #luxmuralis #canterbury #canterburycathedral #visitkent #kent #discoverkent #cathedral
The boy in his happy place.
He blows me away with his knowledge of stately home architecture and history.

Having fun with AI to create Barbie inspired interior design ideas.
#midjourney #AIArtwork
Hands up, have you seen the #Barbie movie yet?
It didn’t disappoint.
Our first #Barbiecore interior designs were made before watching the film, these were made after!
How are you inspired by movies in interior design?
What can you do to make your holiday home different?
Hope you were able to pause and reflect x
Blessed Lammas…
As the summer reaches its zenith (a watery one this year, it would seem!) we celebrate Lammas. It’s a great time to offer thanks for the abundance of the earth, and the harvests that are taking shape across the land.

Calling all #Mandrake growers and keepers of Mandrake root figures. I would love to interview you for my upcoming #ethnobotany dissertation. Here’s a beauty at the #PittRivers - please get in touch if you hold one in your #economicbotany collection @Economicbotany #ethnobotany
I think this is clever #twitterlogo
I absolutely hate the new twitter logo. Surely I am not alone. This designer nails it…
Portrait of Moona.
Tucked up in the cozy blanket I brought out of retirement since the weather took a rainy turn…
Portrait of a Mandrake:
Yesterday I visited the Mandrake held at the Horniman museum archives.
Once again the Mandrake has an enigmatic countenance and in its arms it cradles a bundle. Could it be a baby? Or another precious package?
