I’m not an avid chef, as I’ve shared before in my In Praise of Slow Cookers post , but I love eating healthfully. One of my strategies for achieving that, regardless of whether I’m using my Crockpot, stovetop or oven, is with herbs and spices. These added elements can turn a blah chicken breast into a Mediterranean treat, for example. That’s why SieMatic ’s granite herb garden feature caught my eye when it landed in my inbox recently.

British summer is notoriously unpredictable, so we all have to make the most of the sunshine that we get. That means squeezing picnics, parties and BBQs in whenever we get the chance, so it’s important to make sure your patio is ready for anything. Concrete slabs, wooden decking or natural stone paving are the most popular choices for garden seating areas, but these can fade, discolour or become slippery when wet.

Life of an Architect
JUNE 22, 2016
I have had a very interesting past few days – the kind of interesting that confirms for me why I do what I do for a living. Every now and then I get a little beaten down from the act of doing my job and I start to feel more than a little weary and mentally exhausted. I’m definitely not complaining, but rather admitting that despite all the evidence to the contrary, sometimes being an architect is not the greatest job in the world.

But the trouble here is, when something is dressed up and under the right lighting, even a poor facsimile of good cabinetry can appear appealing. So how do we separate good, dependable, and gorgeous custom cabinets from something that will stain, fall apart, and provide you little more than a ghost of function?

Gazania from the Garden of Nutmeg Designs. Photo by Wayne Stratz. Stratoz took care of me with a photo of this Gazania flower for my Orange Tuesday. Gazanai are from the Aster family and originally from South Africa. They like the sun, and open when it shines bright and then close up at night, looking as if they are dead. Also known as Treasure Flower, they are indeed like little pouches that contain the coin of vibrant color.
