What is Snapdragon Life?

In our fast paced consumerist society, where people seem to be valued by what they buy rather than who they are, it is very easy to lose track of our roots, to become disconnected from the natural world around us.

It certainly happened to me.

In my 20s I worked as an art gallery curator at the University of Glasgow - my office was in a windowless basement, I rarely knew what the weather was like outside. In the Scottish winter, where the days shrink, I often only saw daylight at the weekends. I regularly felt anxious, overwhelmed, as though I didn't quite belong.

It wasn't until my 30s, when I became ill with a chronic auto immune disease that forced me to slow my life right down, that I learned to live with the rhythm of the natural seasons and connect to the natural world. I got back in touch with my joy in creativity, in living seasonally. I knew I was home.

Snapdragon Life is about helping you do the same - to learn about the natural world around you, to eat delicious and simple seasonal food, to grow flowers and vegetables, to reconnect with your creativity.

I would love for you to join me - you can sign up to my Friday Letters.
