Hello and welcome! We’re so glad you’ve found your way to Pebble & Holly, a little corner of the internet where the scent of fresh herbs mingles with warm bread straight from the oven, and where muddy boots are always welcome at the back door.
This blog began with a simple love for countryside living — slow mornings with a cup of tea, planting something small and watching it grow, and filling our kitchens with the comforting smells of things made from scratch. Whether you're tending a garden the size of a table or a field, or simply daydreaming of life beyond the hedgerow, we hope you'll find something here that feels like home.
A Few Sprigs of Gardening Joy 🌱
Gardening is the heart of our rhythm here — and no, you don’t need to be an expert. In fact, we believe that the best way to begin is just to begin. Start with a pot of thyme on the windowsill, a few nasturtium seeds in a sunny patch, or a single tomato plant in a recycled bucket. We’ll share our triumphs and trials as we go — from building raised beds with more optimism than tools, to learning which flowers the bees love most.
Every week, we’ll walk you through small, achievable gardening projects for any skill level, along with seasonal tips and gentle encouragement to get your hands in the soil.
A Pinch of Homemade Comfort 🍓
There’s something magical about turning what you’ve grown — or gathered locally — into something delicious or useful. We’ll be sharing our favourite countryside-inspired recipes, many of them old family treasures or spontaneous creations born out of “what’s in the garden today?” From rustic jams and hedgerow crumbles to soups, breads, and pickles, our kitchen is all about real food, simply made.
You can expect recipes that are cozy, achievable, and often a little whimsical — perfect for a rainy afternoon or a celebration of sunshine.
Whether you’re here to find your green thumb, cook with the seasons, or just soak up some rural calm, we’re so glad you’re here. Pour yourself a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and let’s grow something beautiful together.
With muddy hands and warm hearts,
The Pebble & Holly Team 🌿
