Blessings of Beltane on this beautiful day ✨️🪻🌼🌳It's that time of year again. 3 batches of walnut, parmesan, wild garlic pesto. 3 batches of pumpkin and sunflower seed, gruyere, wild garlic pesto, and a big bottle of wild garlic oil all made. Plenty left over for omelettes and rice dishes. Probably collect more next week 😆🥰The path to the woods has disappeared. We keep getting covered in yellow pollen 😆🌼 but so lovely to resume our evening walks.Working on this ritual blanket for some time now. It's the biggest piece I've done on the loom, the full width, and so long it had to be warped downstairs. It's pure Sheep's wool hand dyed by a local woman using mainly lichen, bramble, and woodchip. I'm not weaving in the ends but plaiting or twisting them. I have tiny fox bones and possibly beads to stitch in as well. Lots of work yet to do before I can show you the completed project. It will be used for ceremony, ritual, prayer, meditation, drum journeying, and mindful comfort.Welcome to Inali, the shy, new edition to our home.

We are besotted already 🥰The resident robins realised this was not the safest nest spot and abandoned it sadly, but they're busy making a new nest and I bought this treasure home to be honoured rather than have someone put it in the skip 🫣

Plant Power
I’ve always loved plants. There are keen gardeners in abundance in my family tree, so I guess it’s in the genes, but I suppose I’ve learnt the most from my parents, whose horticultural efforts always result in amazing displays of … Continue reading
