haw leaves Feb 17

Signs of spring are early this year. I spotted leaves on the hawthorn hedges which I would normally have to wait until April to see. And over the weekend, I spotted a frog hopping into the small pond in the Whinnies Community Garden. I took a closer look and found lots of frog spawn in the pond. I like having lots of frogs around. They are great for eating bugs.

Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
