Really thrilled to return here with lovely news that I’ve been shortlisted for the World of Books Sustainable Story Awards (non-fiction) for my new work RUST: A Personal Story of Iron. Blending memoir, eco-feminism, and geology, RUST traces iron’s imprint on body, family, and landscape.

It’s a wonderful anthology, and so proud to have a couple of poems in here too, about hidden stories and how the absence of those stories is passed down.

Rather like the apothecary garden itself, All My Wild Mothers has taken time finding its own way to take root and I’m thankful for every reader. I’d love to help it reach more people in these fractured and uncertain times. Can you help me scatter its wild seeds of hope and resistance further? 🙏🌸💚🌱

When people say to me ‘how can you cope with the dark winters in Orkney?’ — this is how. Light is alchemical here, the sea and sky swallowing it all 🩶💛

A cold salt wind blows across the apothecary garden. Soon, I will be turning to the cupboard for my brews but today, a few gifts. Today’s potion is a simple blend of calendula, spearmint, chamomile, cardamom pods and star anise. Uplifting, protective and soothing. Just right for these times 🧡🌸

I loved exploring the history of the nearby wild for my memoir Land Beneath the Waves. This country diary came from my research into an ancient heronry on my local patch. 'Henry VIII lost his footing in the wetlands around Hitchin in 1525, so the story goes, and plunged face-first into the fen...'
