Recollections May Vary, I've Been Poorly All Week, Autumn Wreath-Making, Plus Plant Profile: Amaranthus

Welcome to Friday 2 October 2026. Where did September go...?!?!!? 

Join me on the field for today's episode where I'm struggling with some kind of nasty cold/flu. Before I got sick, I spent an afternoon this week learning how to make a fresh autumn wreath with my wedding & event florist (photos on my instagram, if you're interested in taking a look).

I've been diving into my camera roll this week for photos and I shocked myself to discover just how much I'd achieved this summer. For the last couple of months I've had a narrative running through my head that it's been a bad year (drought/heatwaves/short stems, etc) when in fact, it hasn't been that bad. So I'm sharing some of the learnings I've made with you tonight. It's perhaps a gentle reminder to celebrate the wins. 

I hope you enjoy the episode - please come back and join me for the next one - you're always very welcome.
