Nature – Jade Angeles Fitton

Article in World of Interiors

There has been woefully little time for writing articles the past year or so and I’m utterly delighted to be stepping back into the fray through the hallowed halls of world of interiors ‘Object Lesson’. We’re anticipating my season of all things meteoric with what are described as ‘the shooting stars’ of Vita Sackville-West’s garden at Sissinghurst, her irises.

This is a meditation one species in particular, the Three Oaks iris, a bright star of a plant, a total trip, and nigh-on impossible to get one’s hands on in the U.K. If you’re eager to see them, many of the irises return for a second bloom in September, which just happens to be when my next book, When The Sky Falls: A Human History of Shooting Stars, is published…

Cuba Travelogue for Lunate Journal

jadeangelesfitton — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 14:33:42 +0000

Since I travelled around Cuba back in 2022, I’d wanted the freedom to write a travelogue about that experience, as I could not find an honest representation of the reality of travelling in Cuba in any of the national publications – and none would offer the word count required to depict the country’s complexities. I was very lucky to be offered that by the brilliant and beautiful Lunate Journal. The piece was published in their final edition earlier this year, and it is one of my favourite pieces that I’ve written to date. It’s no longer available to buy (I’m late to post, as ever). But if you’d like a copy, please get in touch, I can ask the editors if they have any copies still available.

The Times – Soul Dogs

In Vashti Bunyan’s Wayward I came across the concept of ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ dogs, which I pursued to the back teeth of the internet (where people see their dead dogs in cloud formations) because I’ve now had two. I hopefully did them proud in this piece for The Times. Read here.

The Fence – Voyage of the Damned

Vogue – Lockdown on a Remote Island

jadeangelesfitton — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 12:14:33 +0000

I wrote about the changing of the clocks for The Guardian Country Diary

Article For The Guardian

For The Guardian, I wrote about how the rural housing crisis has been exacerbated by the pandemic. This stretches all the way from Devon and Cornwall to the Hebrides. It’s so much worse than I thought it was, and I knew it was bad. Second homes have become a major problem—if you have a second home in an area where there’s a housing crisis you should be renting it (affordably) to the people who are currently being made homeless. Let’s hope something changes, fast. To read it, click here.

Essay For Litro Magazine

jadeangelesfitton — Sat, 29 Aug 2020 16:23:30 +0000

I think this might be one of my favourite pieces I’ve written. I wrote about the fallen raven chick I thought was a rook and adopted, Rookie the raven. About how the strong bonds we create with our pets (whatever they may be) means they are usually our first, lasting experience of deep emotion. Also featuring strange pets and extravagant funerals from Percival Everett, Virgil and Mozart. Read here.
