By the grace of fate and hard work, I have landed in Wells, where spring water runs through the streets, and swans carry out their familial duties by the moat. Where a cathedral eclipses doubt in the abilities of humans to create with pure skill and fortitude. Where evensong takes place every day, and customers bring you perennial leeks from their vegetable forest. Where the ordinary sits beside the extraordinary without bluster, or boast. It’s nothing special really, just a little shop in a place where people are going about their lives, where community is at the heart of daily life, and hidden gardens and forests are there to walk through freely. And yet.. it is special. The building feels amazing: kind and inviting. It is like a dream , where you discover hidden rooms and unexpected inspirations.
At the core of it is…love.
And creativity.
We are open*sh. Opening hours will be determined by circumstance, until August. Appointments can be made for opening, by appointment, of course.
Go with the flow is my necessary mantra, as the spring water flowing through the aforementioned streets.
Portobello Road is open every day 10-6.
Wells is a surprise, a solace, a treat for us. And a happy circumstance. I have enjoyed every conversation that has taken place this week whilst I am open*sh and painting the rooms. I am excited about this journey. And I encourage anyone who has not visited this tiny city to get yourselves here and wonder at the beautiful architecture both rural and magnificent. I have found nice food at , fantastic service at and am in awe of my brother who is creating a sixty metre long dragon ( did I say that ? Am I sure it’s that long ??! ) in his Wells studio and garden for . I am grateful that and the bishop’s palace exist to inspire and bring visitors from all over the world , as I am accustomed to in Portobello. And that the train station at Castle Cary has an elevated farm shop
I have stuffed myself with cheddar strawberries and been overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of tiny flowers bursting out of every possible nook and cranny. Happy 💗

Many of you have responded to this story shared from poetic whispers.
It has spoken to you, as it did to me. Shall we talk about that?
I thought it might be a good starting point for a conversation to take with us into our daily lives.
Perhaps you can write to me as some of you have, or talk on here, or just carry it into conversations you have with those around you , to keep your own poetry alive. Maybe there’s some small thing each of us can do to let go of that which does not serve our story upon this spring week? I can tell it has planted a seed. 🌱

Of course I want to wish everyone a happy new year, naturally. Especially family, friends and customers. I want to show gratitude for laughter, conversation, support, encouragement, work, walks, cups of coffee, creation, kindness and lessons learned. I want everyone to have their personal best year whether that’s in escape, labour, adventure, study, making, sobriety, walking, resting: no matter what true or natural thing it is that their soul wishes for. And I do celebrate every single person I made a connection with, even but briefly, in the six degrees of separation that is Portobello Road. Yet the overwhelmingly clear feeling I had as I considered my new year’s message was that courage is needed now. Of course, courage is often needed as a human makes their way through the apparently unchartered journey of life. Even if it is a chartered route, it certainly feels unchartered. It takes courage to give birth, to stay in or leave relationships, to put pen to paper , to walk the streets at night, to walk into a schoolroom, to say you don’t know, not to know, to speak a feeling. And particularly now, I feel we need great fortitude and love , to navigate the bewildering, often dismaying and unsettling, times we face collectively.
I often speak my truth, bluntly. I know that can be a failing. And sometimes ,maybe less than most of us, I do not speak my truth in order to stabilise myself or a situation. More often, I know: I speak my truth. Sometimes that seems as though I am saying something challenging or what people like to call negative. I am relieved to feel within the context of conversation in the shop, people are focusing less on appearing Positive and calling out the Negative and more on being authentic. To me that’s a sign of true progress. I truly believe the truth sets you free, even if it’s uncomfortable. I do hope that somehow each of us finds the courage to navigate this year with faith, love and strength. I do love every single morning that I open my shop door, and feel blessed to have found vocations that allow me to connect with people , on many levels. I do hope that each of you finds small and great ways to honour what and who you love in 2025 x
