I work for a local council

What do you do to be involved in the community? Working for a local council in my community has really opened my eyes up to both sides. I am constantly shocked by people’s expectations of what the council do, how peoples lack of community means that they litter, flytip and demand services without so much…

Yes and you should to!

Do you vote in political elections? It’s important to vote. To have your say. Even if it is for a party I don’t agree with. I would still rather you voted for them than no vote at all. Yesterday from 6am till 10pm I welcomed people into a school vote so they could cast their…

Aren’t we all a little lost?

What gives you direction in life? I am not sure I have any direction at the moment. I may be a tiny bit bored sometimes but in general I am content. I guess I am a little lost. Working in retail I always craved to work up into the creative section but now I work…

Not a morning person

When do you feel most productive? I am not not a morning person, but I am not a night owl either. I love the weekends because I can do things on my time. I am most productive ironically in the morning and when I have a deadline. This weekend I have woken at 7:30 both…

A miracle happened: my first edible radish

What are your favorite vegetables to grow? Radish are supposed to be the easiest veggie to grow. Which is harrowing when I have been trying and failing. Last year I ended up letting them all flower because they bolted and they get bitter. The conditions are great for salad at the moment. My lettuce is…

Gardening and home updates

What topics do you like to discuss? No real surprise I love gardening and interiors. Next week the demolition begins on the garden. The builder is ordering machines. The soil will be collected and used in my allotment ( yay) and this weekend I will dig out all the flowers and bulbs I want to…

Rainham Hall National trust

Discovering beautiful places I have always thought that Rainham was a bit of a shit hole, apologies Rainham. It’s surrounded by lots of flats and warehouses and generally appears a bit gray and soulless. I should have known that every ugly has a beauty and Rainham village is adorable. Beautiful buildings, independent shops little pubs…
