I'd actually planned to create a new blog, but as the subject matter is not a world apart, and I plan to also update on my own gardening adventures, it made sense to pick up on this one instead, with a new name and adjusted focus.
For those of you who didn't visit beforehand, this blog (the old posts remain below) used to be called the Amateur Balcony (note - I do not recommend googling this phrase - you get some pretty fruity results! Something I had not thought to check out before naming it...). The blog focused on my small London balcony, and my gardening experiments, triumphs, disasters and learning.
This 2.0 version - Still Life City, will be more a record of the green and growing spaces I visit, the urban beauty I stumble across, and general swashbuckling excitements in the world of plants, growing, urban agriculture, sustainability and regeneration. So - a fairly broad sweep! But within a definite lens. Basically, I'm going to write about the things I love.
Also, I am in the habit of taking close up photos around the city - of colours, textures, random markings, manmade and natural details, often strange and always beautiful. To my eyes at least. They're like accidental abstract paintings. Still Lifes of the city. In all the glorious, huge and majestic wonder of London, I think there are tiny moments of beauty to be noticed - in even the grubbiest or most banal of places. So, I'm going to post my Still Life City pictures here too.
