There have been many times in 2018 where I have had to pinch myself, feeling super lucky but also remembering that a lot of hard work sits behind each of those moments.

So what better way to finish 2018 than with a huge bang – a total pinch me moment and dream come true announcement.

I am beyond delighted to announce the first official partners of the Life at No.27 non-profit organisation – Chiltern Seeds. The well-known and much-loved family run business have given me the most wonderful opportunity, by offering to support the social enterprise throughout 2019 by donating 50p from the sale of five popular varieties of seeds. 

Beetroot ‘Boston’, Carrot ‘Sugarsnax 54’ F1 Hybrid, Pea ‘Alderman’, Salad Rocket ‘Astra’ and Tomato ‘Black Cherry’ are all included. By simply buying these super tasty and easy to grow varieties their customers and hopefully you, will be contributing to building the enterprise. Helping to deliver programmes that are truly meaningful and providing an opportunity to make a positive difference to the lives of many people of all ages.

Directors Sally Redhead and Heather Leedham said; “We strongly believe in the benefits of gardening as a therapy for mental health illnesses, so we are delighted to support Annabelle in her goal by donating 50p from each of the specially selected packets of seeds sold towards this great cause.”

It means so much to me to have Chiltern Seeds on board, believing in me, the power of gardening for wellbeing and the therapeutic programmes ahead; especially as a local business, 5 minutes up the road from me and No.27 in Oxfordshire.

I am aware of the intense hard work ahead, but am beyond excited for 2019 and am delighted to have such a great team behind me. So I hope you join us with your support and also raise a glass in celebration over the festive period.
