They say "never become the story" at journalism school. But I never went to journalism school. So here's a piece about the amazing 3D-printed mini food banks popping up in Walthamstow, one of which is in my front garden!
It's also on my Evening Standard author page.

A great big test of handheld and floorstanding garment steamers by a scruffy freelancer who grudgingly irons school uniforms and not much more. My clothes looked good that week! Read which ones were worth buying here.

"Are you sitting uncomfortably? Then we'll begin." So commenced this article, before it was subbed so they could fit a last-minute advert on the page. Oh well, it's still a good read.
The newspaper is online
here, page 20, but I'm not sure how long it's there for as it's a new site. It will hopefully soon pop up on
my Standard page too.

We keep rescue hens in the back garden. It's unapologetically hippy but it is also a bit gadgety because they live in a superb fox-proof
Eglu coop with an
automatic door that's triggered by sunlight levels.
We're holding a
cake sale next Saturday to raise funds for the
British Hen Welfare Trust. It costs the BHWT around £2.50 to get each bird rehomed. Mine had never been outdoors before, never been treated kindly, etc. They're crazy happy now and they lay me delicious eggs every day.
This is what our girls looked like five months ago when we collected them.
And this is what they look like now. Same birds.
Loads of friends are baking delicious cakes. Plus
KitchenAid has very generously donated a red Artisan stand mixer worth £499 which we are raffling for the BHWT too. Tickets cost just £1.
COME BUY CAKES AND RAFFLE TICKETS!
