Flowers and Insects

Hello.

My name is Jackie. I am an amateur photographer, an enthusiastic (though not very talented) gardener and I live with my two dogs just outside Newcastle upon Tyne.

This website started as a sort of a blog, and sort of a gallery but I didn't really keep it up to date - it's now 2023 and I think the last update was in 2017!

Why did this happen? Well, I'm self employed and struggled to find the time for one. For another, we all lost two years to the c-word. And lastly, I just stopped travelling as much (not that I did it much to start with).  Oh, and I moved house too.

But now I've got some of my mojo back, largely because I've FINALLY managed to get my hands on allotment, which has been a lifetime dream of mine.  I'll try to get the site up to date with my various visits, but will also be sharing progress on my allotment. And I might even give you a sneak view of my own garden.

All of the photos on this were taken using a mobile phone. None have been taken using filters or have any editing done other than a bit of cropping - what you see is very much what you get!

Please don't copy anything without permission.  If you would like permission to reuse anything send an email to jackie@anorthumbriangardener.co.uk and we can chat about what you'd like.
