LawnPaper by Steve Messam

I don't know how I managed to miss Steve Messam's LawnPaper at one of my favourite haunts Blackwell in the Lake District. LawnPaper is an environmental etching expected to grow out within 4-5 weeks of the pattern being cut. This unique landscape installation is based on William Morris wallpaper and is created by a process of selective shading and trimming.

Enthused about Infusions - Womersley

 

You may remember some months ago we did a blog post on the spectacular Womersley Packaging illustrated by Petra Borner. Shortly after our post was published we were contacted by the Managing Director of Womersley Rupert Parsons with a very kind offer to sample his unique infusion range. The beautifully packaged bottles arrived in a fully branded box - this is a company with impeccable taste and superb attention to detail, just what we like!

Our goodies consisted of a bottle of Strawberry and Mint Vinegar and a jar of Apple and Geranium Jelly which we just couldn't wait to taste. To savour the flavour we opted for home grown organic leaves, juicy tomatoes, freshly baked organic wholemeal bread, smoked chicken breast, home made coleslaw, parma ham and some feta cheese (we also purchased some mini pork pies but they never made it to the tasting!).

Womersley's Apple and Geranium Jelly, with its fragrant aroma of roses takes you on a journey of turkish delight and arabian nights - like nothing we had ever tasted before, this jelly is a stunning accompaniment to smoked chicken. The Strawberry and Mint Vinegar was scented and balanced to perfection and made for a very sophisticated salad. With their spectacular packaging and expertise at combining infusions, Womersley's really know how to make sauces special, dips delightful and metze marvellous. AMAZING!

Tim Flach - Dogs Gods

I cannot tell you how excited I was when the postman arrived my recently ordered book 'Dogs Gods' by UK photographer Tim Flach. A must for any dog lover, this book captures some truly exquisite dog photography. With his sophisticated, painstaking lit, carefully cropped images Tim really brings the spirt and personality of our canine friends to life. However, not every image meets with my approval - I am against dog surgery purely for vanity and there are a few controvertial images which I believe have been published to provoke comment and primarily appeal to the US market.

Overall a beautiful book chock-full of my favourite subject matter - What's not to love!
