The other half is gearing up to revive her YouTube channel. It was started in 2008 with short clips of the plants she lovingly tended in her garden. She was into her “third season” when a bushfire came through in 2011 and much of the garden was engulfed by the flames. The bushfire became her last video uploads.
Now, over a decade later, and Cilla is finally picking up her passion again, and plans to return to Cilla’s Garden. She’s currently doing time lapse videos of the cleanup. The gardens and pathways are all overgrown and she’s been inspired by lawn mowing time lapse videos of people cleaning up overgrown yards.
For gardening, weird plants, or just to follow “The New Adventures of Cilla’s Garden” when she begins uploading again, give Cilla a #LichenSubscribe!

Good time to try out this new spirit stove I bought last month. A lightweight simple alternative to my usual MSR camping stove.
