At 55, I never imagined I’d be studying English Literature and Creative Writing at university. But life has a way of surprising us—just when we think we’ve settled into one chapter, another begins. And if I’ve learned anything, it’s that it is never too late to turn the page. In my younger years, travelling the world was a dream I kept on the back burner, nestled among other aspirations that seemed less urgent. I got married in my twenties and devoted myself to raising a young family.

Nobody who visits Morecambe, especially on a fine sunny day, can fail to be overawed, mesmerised even by the sheer beauty of the scenic splendour of the Bay observed from the promenade fronting this renowned seaside resort. Not even the more celebrated Bay of Naples with its stunning backdrop of Mount Vesuvius can eclipse our very own reply in the form of the English Lake District. It might seem inappropriate to compare this Lancashire town with the romantic aura of Sorrento.

There’s a moment in early summer when the land seems to exhale. The slow emergence of spring gives way to the great crescendo of life—lush, wild, and generous. To those paying attention, nature’s message is clear: there is enough. More than enough. This abundance, however, is not a careless overflow—it’s a balanced, beautiful invitation. A call to share, to support, and to give back. At Pendle Plant Craft, we’ve long felt guided by this wisdom.
