ALBAM. FACTORY & STUDIO

A few weeks back I spent the day hanging out in Albams factory in Leicester with factory boss Kanti (pictured below) and in the Nottingham studio with the delightful design team. It was a real treat to see the goings on behind the scenes. To read more click here.

CHESHIRE FIELDS ALLOTMENTS

I spent the afternoon with a friend and her husband on their allotment a few weeks ago. I'm still amazed there are places like this in London and always feel like I've been on an old school day trip, which was a good thing as this was the week I totally exhausted myself. I didn't come home empty handed either. That week we gorged on bean salads, kale and a huge rhubarb and raspberry crumble. Nice little ditty by Trevor Moss and Hanna-Lou about allotments.

Looking at bikes on Ebay and noticed some stray characters in the background. Now, do these bicycles belong to these guys and they've just enlisted help with someone with opposable thumbs to take the pictures...? I'd like to think so.
