Wow, this stuff is REALLY exciting now - I have never enjoyed or eaten so much stuff I have grown myself ever before - and I LOVE IT!!! I read something Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall (my hero!) said the other day about the ‘throw away’ food culture - when you have grown it yourself you treasure [...]

Creating your own reality
Posted in Eclectic Nonsense, tagged Law of Attraction, Personal Development on July 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Hey - I know this one. I’ve been ascribing to it for years yet can’t quite ‘get it’! Here is a ‘law of attraction’ type piece posted recently by a beautiful healer friend of mine. The words say it all really with no more needed from me. The music is great though, so get your [...]

Having a passionate regard for the environment and the precarious state of the planet, I am always mindful of the impact of travel. This is a thorny one because I love to see the world and to imbibe of diverse cultures, see wonderful things like eclipses, wild animals, unique landscapes, beautiful buildings, art works etc [...]

I am so busy out gathering and processing the bounty from my kitchen garden right now, that I hardly have the time to write the blog. The garlic is up and drying and I have burgeoning onions, salads, peas and mangetout, radishes so plentiful they are going woody before I can eat them and summer [...]
Life on the Edge

Some people may have recently seen the BBC show on St Kilda, called Britain’s Lost World. St Kilda really captures the imagination, so I was very interested to see it.
