An Adventure in Taste and Thyme with Andy
Welcome to 'An Adventure in Taste and Thyme with Andy'
Join me as I share my passions and excitement with food, foraging, and gardening. With a curious and kind approach to life, I explore the joys of preparing and preserving delicious meals from foraged plants and fruits. While I leave fungi to the experts, my love for fresh ingredients has led me to embrace vegetable gardening.
Despite the challenges of my sun-deprived garden, I've embarked on a new journey with the Allotment Diaries. Follow my adventures from the moment I received the keys to Plot 35, North Bournemouth Allotments Society, where I'll share both my mistakes and successes in growing my own produce.
But that's not all, I also delve into my other interests, including walking, photography, and industrial archaeology. Subscribe and join me on this exciting journey of discovery and creativity.
