About me

Hello, and welcome to my curated lifestyle blog! I’m Lisa, a mum to a 14 year old daughter, wife to a lovely husband, and a concierge to four cats.  I’m also a freelance Content Writer and Copywriter from Bath, crafting engaging digital marketing content to give back time to busy marketing managers and business owners, so you can get back to doing what you love and do best. You can find me on LinkedIn or check out my freelance writing services website if you’re looking for an extra pair of hands (and a creative brain) to help with with content writing and copywriting.

Going from a window box in central Bath to a large garden in Norton St Philip means I’m now a keen gardener who loves seeing what grows where and generally grubbing around in the dirt.  And I’m also a wine and tea lover, and a Plantagenet enthusiast.

Here on Lisa’s Notebook I enjoy researching, writing, and curating content on all kinds of topics including: beauty, family, food and drink, garden and home, reviews, travel, wellness, and work.  So, I hope you find something you like – please feel free to comment if you do, and sign up below, so you never miss a post in the future! And you can find me on Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest as well.

Teamwork makes dream work is such a cliche but som Teamwork makes dream work is such a cliche but sometimes it’s true.

If you look closely, you’ll see rather than one single flower, each Allium Purple Sensation globe is made up from lots of tiny little individual florets, all coming together to create one perfect bee magnet bloom on a tall and slender stem. 💜

This beautiful Spring-flowering perennial is Dicentra Spectabilis, also known as Bleeding Heart or Ladies Locket. 

Highly recommend for lighting up any areas of dappled shade or woodland gardens. Isn’t she lovely?

This is Tulip Red Dress, whose gorgeous deep crimson ruffled petals stand out beautifully against the sky blue of all the surrounding Forget-me-knots. 

One of the very last tulips still blooming in our garden, isn’t she stunning? 🌷

You don’t always get what you’d planned for. A You don’t always get what you’d planned for. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Being unexpectedly between contracts means I have time to skill up with some of the many amazing masterclasses, courtesy of my wonderful The Holt membership. 

And while orange was never in my planned garden colour scheme, these lovely Ranculus, together with some fronds of Fennel, blades of Briza Maxima grass, and sprigs of Choisya Orange Blossom, make a beautiful little posy, don’t you think? 

Silver linings (or technically orange, I suppose!) 🧡

“Let’s try something new,” I thought to myse “Let’s try something new,” I thought to myself last Autumn.

While holding a handful of little corms that - quite honestly - looked like something an animal had left behind. 😳 

Fast forward to today and we have a plethora of stunning vivid pink Anemones all around our garden. Totally in love with them, even more so as they’re perennial so should come back next Spring too. 

Looks are very deceiving. In gardening, as in life, sometimes you really do need to just have faith. 💚

Dandelions. They’re a Spring success story this Dandelions. They’re a Spring success story this year in our garden and orchard. 💛 

Providing vital food for bees and other pollinators when not much else is around, did you know all parts of the dandelion are edible? They’re often used in herbal teas and supplements as a natural remedy to support blood sugar management and boost skin, liver, and heart health.👌 

✅  The leaves are high in Vitamin A, C, and K and taste a bit like rocket salad.
✅  The root can be dried and ground into a “coffee” powder for drinks.
✅  The seeds are nutrient-rich, packed with carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
✅  The flowers can be used to make honey (I’ve made some and it’s delicious as well as vegan), herbal drinks, and even wine.

And before anyone comes at me, I’ve left gazillions behind for all our pollinators. Let me know if you’d like the honey recipe. 😋🐝
