Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Hello, and welcome to my blog…
I’m a freelance writer and editor in my everyday working life, specializing in non-fiction (especially food). I’m also addicted to a) gardening, often in the face of repeated disasters not unconnected to being on a windy Welsh hillside not far from the sea,* and b) almost any yarn-based craft known to man, woman or sheep. I have a knitting and spinning blog as well – which covers all sorts of related witterings, from archaeology to colour – at woolwinding.wordpress. All visitors welcome!

* But I can grow beans. Lots of beans. It’s just as well I like them.

Nice to meet you! 🙂 Now I’d really like to see what types of crafts a sheep can turn out…bahaha…and glad you appreciate the wonder of growing (and eating) beans!
Nice to meet you too…
I think sheep would do baaasketry, myself… (I must have been talking to too many five-year olds!).
Congratulations on the start of your gardening blog! I found you via Blotanical. Wishing you lots of beautiful memories here.
Thanks – all this blogging is really, really making me change how I think about the garden. Interesting…
Hello, fellow windy-in-Wales gardener (as it were). Found you through Laura (Patio Patch)’s recommendation on her latest post, although I do intermittently do blotanical too. We’re re-establishing a small garden on a windy spot a couple of miles from the coast too. Look forward to reading more about your garden!

Hiya! Love your blog – and your deep pink aquilegia. Very envious. Will speak to mine firmly (they’re supposed to be that colour).
Good luck with your wind – our storms are appalling (50-60 mph or thereabouts, eeek – but the bamboo holds), so I hope they’re not heading your way…
Hello! I garden on a windy Suffolk hillside (or what passes for a hill in Suffolk), about 20 miles from the sea. Love the name beangenie, made me laugh!
Hello too! Sounds as though you might have the same problems with wind and maybe with sea air (boy, does it carry).
I chose ‘beangenie’ because the one thing I could be guaranteed to grow in this garden was beans – I can’t even do courgettes very well. Of course the next two years produced terrible bean crops. I think that’s what you call hubris. Hm.
We’re a bit far inland for sea air, but boy can the wind blow! I had terrible bean crops last year – as did my mum in law who has been growing most of her own veg for 40 years, so we’re not alone. I do like ‘beangenie’ – now I can’t get the Bowie song Jean Genie out of my head!!
No! Now I’ve got that earworm going too!!! Agh!
