So, this week I attended a Property ‘tweet-up’ (cue Chris rolling his eyes heavenwards) to meet in person some of my favourite property tweeters, bloggers and all-round property nuts! Being as when I’m not at Agratech,  I spend half of my working life, and much of the rest of my life (leisure time, dream time….) instilled in anything to do with houses, property, renovation and just all-round general house nosiness, it was a night of pure heaven.

Not much to do with Agratech, and sprayers you’re thinking, except that one of the attendees was a lovely lady, Liz Ackerley of Poppyhead Consultancy, who was recently crowned the Grand Designs Live Garden Designer of the Year!  And having read her blog and looked at some of her portfolio shots, I thought I should give Liz a mention.

Here’s an extract from her about me page:

 a chartered landscape architect and qualified garden designer with a number of years experience designing and managing landscapes from tiny courtyards to large private and public spaces. In the late 90’s Liz trained first at Capel Manor, Middlesex University where she was best garden design student of the year… Liz has held positions in several design consultancy and landscape architecture practices and has also taught garden design on courses in both London and Staffordshire.

Fantastic, and you can read more about Liz, and find her contact details from her website here.

But if like me, you work in images, here are some images from her beautiful award-winning design. You can read Liz’s blog post here to learn about her design concept and see images from the drawing board through the build and the completed garden, which is truly stunning. A worthy winner

The Potato Council’s Potato Week is under way, aimed to drive awareness and sales of named potato varieties, and give British Potato growers a boost.

Here’s a quote from the Potato Council website:

Potato Council marketing manager, Kate Cox, said: “The autumn is a crucial time for potato consumption and the crux of our campaign – which is timed to coincide with main crop harvesting – is to encourage shoppers to trade up to popular named varieties. In doing so, we aim to promote increased consistency and enjoyment of potato-meals eaten in the home and encourage shoppers to see that they are worth paying a little more for. This in turn, will drive value growth of the potato category.

Commendable, though Mrs L’s hackles have risen slightly at the the (seemingly) women-only focused campaign, and the slighly nauseous title of “Maris Piper Mums” on the Love Potato Website. Perhaps in the Potato Council world, men are farmers, and the little woman is the cook? There are plenty of Agratech friends where the man does the weekly shop, and produces equal, if not much finer fayre than their lady partners.  I can hear the cries of ‘calm down, dear’. But maybe next year we could have the Maris-Men?! 😉

That being said, there are some great recipes on the Love Potato website, and in particular Mr L is going to have a go at the Sticky Orange Potato Cake, so we’ll report back later.

Potato week runs 7-13 October. Happy shopping and cooking!
