Harvest, Orchard, Forage and Ritual grew out of things I’d been noticing and writing about for years. The kitchen garden, fruit from old trees, the things I pick up on a walk and the simple act of lighting a candle before dinner. Over time, they became four worlds that shape what I make at Beckah.

When I make a candle inspired by something familiar, I want you to recognise where it came from, with room for me to play with its shape, scale and detail.

It’s the same with little sets like Berry Nine and Kindling. With Berry Nine, I started with a blackberry, and part of the design was seeing what happened when I gathered nine together.

Kindling began with the gathering that happens before you light a fire, when you go looking for little bits of wood and pinecones. I brought together a pinecone, a walnut and a simple stick candle. I liked the idea of giving that little set to someone just starting something of their own.

I enjoy thinking about how the pieces sit alongside one another just as much as working out the shape of each candle.

Frankie and I were flicking through the Christmas issue of dish 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘩 last night, starting to plan what we might make for Christmas Day lunch. I think we’ve got more ideas than we have room on the table.

What’s one thing you always make for Christmas lunch?

The Fish Course. Three sweet fish, cast in pure beeswax and tucked into a box together.

A little candlelight for the dinner table, or a gift to take along when someone else is cooking.

Every spring I start looking for elderflowers, and now the kids start asking when I’m making cordial. It’s become one of those things that marks the season in our house.

I’ve shared the recipe, along with a little of the story behind it, over on Notes from Beckah. Something to make while those lovely white flowers are about.

Every spring, the elder trees in our garden begin to flower, and I know it's nearly time to make elderflower cordial. A recipe I've been making since 2017, carried from our days of foraging in Napier to the garden we have today.

Shutter Island — Dennis Lehane

An oldie, but I recently came across a clip from the film, and the comments section was full of people saying to read the book.

So I did.

A great long weekend read. A psychological thriller that kept me hooked right to the end.
