About Us

Mellis, Suffolk, United Kingdom
Three years ago Titus and Jasmin Rowlandson relocated from Peckham London to a beautiful creaking Elizabethan farmhouse in the tangled wilds of Suffolk. The house belonged to a friend of theirs who was particularly interested in nature, conservation and the environment and subsequently left the house and surrounding land to run wild hosting a myriad of life. The house is built mainly of wood. Ivy, rose and Jasmin clamber up the outer walls and in places tendrils creep through nooks and crannies right into the house. The house sits in twelve acres of rich meadow land, a mile of thick hedgerow and a variety of trees, Willow, Ash, Oak, Mulberry, Quince, Apple and Walnut. Jasmin Rowlandson is a sculptural ceramist who loves to cook. Titus Rowlandson restores classic Italian cars and loves to eat. With Jasmin's love of cooking and Titus's love of eating her cooking, along with the idyllic setting, it seemed only natural to begin The Walnut Tree Farm Lunch Club. Once a month Titus and Jasmin will be hosting a four course lunch at the farm. Wherever possible Jasmin will be cooking with home grown and local seasonal produce.

Autumn Days


A sequence of perfect autumnal days this week. Brilliant sunshine with a fresh chill in the air has kept me happily outside.  I have been taking long foraging walks down to Thornham woods with my dog, Hercules. Gathering sloes for sloe vodka, hawthorn berries for haw brandy and crab apples for jelly.
