In May, Lundy is alive with flora and fauna, for me it’s definitely the best time to visit Lundy. Taking a stroll around the Millcombe Valley is a lovely way of spending a few hours. It has inspired me to write poems, take photographs and most recently weave.


As a conscious crafter I try to weave with as much recycled yarn as possible. Using yarn scraps, I created a weave to represent the flora in the valley at this time of year. Using Rya loops gave it the textural feel that I wanted to represent he Sea Campion and the Vetches (common and Kidney) coming up through the grass. Hanging it from a piece of driftwood, I found on the beach helped me to merge the connection of the land and sea.
