Tomatoes!

After being in my garden for a few weeks my tomato plant seems to be doing well! Here is a piccie of my first fruit! Hopefully the sun will come out soon so that they start to ripen!

Sprouting

I recently became the proud owner of my very first sprouter! I have soaked my seeds and placed them in the sprouter, so now I have to wait and see what happens! This is what they look like after 24 hours - I will post more pictures shortly to keep you updated on progress!

Recycled loo paper...

Thought that might get your attention! Hopefully this isn't as horrible as it sounds. As part of their ongoing 'make a difference' campaign Sainsbury's are giving away free loo paper to every customer who spends £3 or more on Wednesday 27th June.

Floater!

My brilliant sister kindly gave me a voucher for a session in a float tank for Christmas and I decided to book myself in over the bank holiday weekend. Having never done anything like this before I was quite excited, as I didn't really know what to expect. I really enjoyed the experience and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend some time chilling out and re-charging the batteries.

While in the tank you are completely deprived of all your senses; it's pitch dark, you have earplugs in, the air and water are at body temperature and you literally feel like you are floating in space! It is said that it can be the equivalent to four hours sleep, so it is a fantastic way to boost your energy. My only mistake was to do the float tank in the morning, ahead of a busy day. I think this made it harder for me to 'switch off' and completely rest my mind. Next time I shall book myself in for a later session so that all I have to worry about afterwards is going home to bed!

I had my float at the London Float Centre on Clapham Common. They have several centres in London, so I would definitely recommend a visit if you have the time.

Tomatoes!

My fantastic mother has grown me a tomato plant in her greenhouse, which is now happily situated in my little garden in Tooting. It is already rather large, so I am hoping it will have a huge crop of tomatoes for me to feast on later in the year! I will keep you updated on its progress!

Whole Foods

While in Florida a few weeks ago I experienced my first Whole Foods Market, which was absolutely fantastic. The size of a big UK supermarket, the aisles were lined with organic, fresh, ethically sourced food and the array of natural supplements and products on sale was amazing. They have recently opened their first UK store, so if you are able to get to Kensington I would definitely recommend a visit. Check out their website for more details.

Eat the seasons!

Just came across a very handy website with details of all foods which are currently in season. Check it out here and put it in your favourites now!
