Mother's Ruin: April 2014
http://mothers-ruin-e17.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 12 April 2014. Presided over by a curious allotment frog, a tonne of manure has been delivered to the fruit garden. And we spent a few sunny hours carting it in, and spreading it about. It should have been done in the winter time so that all that rain could have driven the goodness down into the soil, but better now than not at all. Muck spreading has been part of soil improving for 8000 years. In Cumbria it is blossom season for the world's best damsons. The Lyth Valley. Spring fair, which is ...

Mother's Ruin: A Wood St Brew
http://mothers-ruin-e17.blogspot.com/2014/03/a-wood-st-brew.html
Friday, 14 March 2014. A Wood St Brew. The rain has stopped for over a week now and spring is surely here (right? The streets are warm and the small E17. Front gardens full of flowers. In a quiet corner of the allotment I have found the first sloe blossoms. Although we are three months in, it is now that I feel the year begin. And even though I am not there to see it, there must be magical March hares. Boxing in the fields in the early morning. The East London Gin Palace. As a testament to the eccentric ...

Mother's Ruin: Mother pans for Spanish gold
http://mothers-ruin-e17.blogspot.com/2014/01/mother-pans-for-spanish-gold.html
Friday, 17 January 2014. Mother pans for Spanish gold. Deep in the January slough with Christmas and new year done, the days dark, the rain biblical and seemingly endless - there is a gift from our dear Spanish friends. The Sevilles are here! Turning up slowly at first with just the odd box at the more specialist fruiterers at New Spitalfields market,. And now filling my kitchen and dining room with their heart warming brightness as I knock up this year's batch of Bitter Orange Rum. As if marmalade and o...

Mother's Ruin: October 2013
http://mothers-ruin-e17.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 18 October 2013. Music to pick sloes by. It has come to my attention via the acerbic comments of friends that I have become a sloe gang-master. I can spot laden branches at 100 yards, and nothing gladdens my blue stained heart more than the sight of industrious hedgerow gathering. In the hopes of comforting my scratched and shredded troops, and spurring them on to epic picking feats I have created the. Sloe Gin Play List. The Sloes of Penybanc. Sloe Eyed Devil Show. Then, eat up! In honour of the...

Mother's Ruin: The mid-winter feast approaches
http://mothers-ruin-e17.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-mid-winter-feast-approaches.html
Friday, 13 December 2013. The mid-winter feast approaches. Winter comes to Walthamstow marshes, pearly and frozen. The days shrink down, and those anxious that the warmth may have disappeared for good bring the green indoors and plan grand winter feasts to comfort the soul and entice the sun to make its' return. The Lord of Misrule is appointed and for a few giddy days the world stands on its' head in an ancient festival of foolish delights. Mummers. Local vegan bakers and soup goddesses Norman Loves.

Mother's Ruin: From the darkness
http://mothers-ruin-e17.blogspot.com/2014/02/from-darkness.html
Thursday, 27 February 2014. Deep in the Yorkshire rhubarb triangle. In candle lit sheds the forced rhubarb season is at it's peak. And in the spring sunshine, in my long outdoor beds this year's new growth is in rude progress. A day in the orchard is spent cutting away old leaves feeding the crowns with bonemeal, whilst feeling the first of the warm light on my back. Mother's Bitter Helper is a classic aromatic orange based bitters with a modern twist of raw cocoa, vanilla and green cardomom. In a glass,...
