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. She loves the woodburner, but most of all there's a spot on the window sill close to the bird table! Inali means black fox, and she's quite fluffy. 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 🫣

A Meditation for Writing
Completing the mundane tasks of the day – cleaning, shopping, food preparation, making those phone calls (whatever responsibilities you have) – requires an active mind, one that can move rapidly from one task to the next, thinking ahead to other … Continue reading
Little Voice
I’m not a big drinker, in that I rarely drink over 10 units a week. I don’t suffer from hangovers, don’t drink cheap wine full of chemicals etc. But having been totally sober for over 3 weeks now (www.gosober.org.uk – … Continue reading

Any Which Way You Walk
Walking and thinking go hand-in-hand – certainly if you walk alone, which I usually do most days. You can walk to escape an argument, to change stagnant energy, to mull over a difficult situation, or to day dream. The latter … Continue reading
