Holiday in Northumberland was blissful β¨
Food, glorious food. Blessed this year. Reaping the rewards of hard work.

Yoga, sound bath and wellness circle on the top of Werneth Low Country Park was bliss this evening. Welcoming in the new moon and finding my grounded place amongst the wind, trees and sky. Best bit? The vibrations of a sound bowl beaten, resting on my stomach while resting in savasana.
It felt fab to reach the top! A reminder to myself that better days are to come when Iβm feeling crappy. #YouCanDoHardThings
Adventure: I ventured from Malham, along the river there and up the cove, then back to the pub despite having a double ear infection last weekβ¦
On me holidays in the Yorkshire Dales. I am reminded "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing."

Things to harvest from my garden πͺ #salad #chard #growyourownfood
A silent round of of last weekend. Dreaming of the longer one still to come.

π€ βWe were amongst the rhododendrons. There was something bewildering, even shocking, about the suddenness of their discovery. The woods had not prepared me for themβ.
I have finished βRebeccaβ by Daphne du Maurier. Itβs filled with dark, gothic drama

π« I will be making my own from now on. Big money saver! Not so much work. Plus itβs fun to squeeze through the muslin cloth. #GingerShots #Immunity #kilner
π Postcards from my garden. Where I can hear the birds, see the bees pollinate, smell the rain and pick the rainbow chard for dinner that over-wintered. #bliss #sanctuary #garden
Getting out in the sun today for a 6km local walk looping Debdale Park and including the Fallowfield loop. Took a flask of tea and some biscuits wrapped in tin foil. Better than the previously planned drive and Β£10 car park charge at a NT property, and didnβt have to buy a coffee in a take-out cup.
π§βπ³ Who else likes to get all chef-y when preparing seasoning? #SlowLiving #cooking
Look at it shine! π«
πβ¨Made something for my garden. To sparkle, catch the sun rays and also remind me of the moon & stars! Kind of made it up as I went along and used what I already had in π #sculpture #suncatcher #garden #handmade
πβπ« When everything is a bit much. I spend time looking within. Cooking is a good activity for this- Soaked jelly ear mushrooms in gin & coated in dark chocolate. Hey pesto- with some wild garlic blitzed + extra to freeze. Buds pickled. Soup made with ingredients #foraged from Asda. #mindful #cook
π³οΈββ§οΈ An apt, but sad day to have to dust this old piece off I made in 2021. Sending love ππ³οΈβπ #Embroidery #HumanRights #TransRights
π΄ Such a lovely place to spend half a day and just explore, look around, notice and bring home some things too. #ReddishVale
π³ Took the little one out with me who found a small nook in a tree. We listened to the birds and used the Merlin app to identify what we could. Picked wild garlic for pesto and looked at the reflections.
π Made some much needed time to connect with nature, forage, explore and listen at our local country park- Reddish Vale. Found Lamium galeobdolon (a type of mint). Jelly ear mushrooms, wild garlic and more. #foraging #photgraphy #foragelife #jellyears
π± Why do you #grow?
I grow to both find & lose myself. To give back, to feel grounded. To nurture, explore & learn. To be in harmony with the world around me. To be reminded that I cannot control nature that is out of my control. But most of all, when I #garden I can just be.

π I devoured #WhyWomenGrowBook by #AliceVincent. Wizzed through the epic journey of discovery. On womanhoodβs connection to green space and nurturing earth. Heard myself in the words. Eagerly awaiting her next release & onto her podcasts. Beautifully narrated by #FionaHampton #BooksOfBlueSky #readit
A soft, peach-tinted full moon glows against a dusky mauve sky. Its surface is clearly visible, with pale crater markings giving it a gentle, textured look. A band of low, blue-grey clouds stretches across the bottom of the frame, adding depth and contrast. The scene captures the calm beauty of Aprilβs Pink Moon, rising in still evening light.
Tonight, Aprilβs full moon, the Pink Moon, rises. ππΈ
Named by northern Native American tribes for the blooming of pink spring flowers.
The Celts called it the Budding or Seed Moon, while Anglo-Saxons knew it as the Egg Moon, marking the stirrings of new life.
