Eeeek...exciting times 🥳🤝
Biggest challenge = my technological naffness...but i have support in the younger generation, i hope 🧔💙👱

Bring on the healing!

So....we have news 🙂 and the reason i've been a little busier, not posting regularly.

You all know the sadness we've grown through as a family over the past 6months, without my best mate.

Some of you will also be aware of the current horrors that are occuring all over the UK regarding the euthanasia of scores of dogs due to new owners during Covid discovering they cannot actually care for them...for whatever reason.

My wonderful Mam is responsible for drawing my attention to this, knowing i would be unable to look away.
I never dreamed of putting myself in the position to hurt that much again, ever...but she was right, i couldnt look away.

So here we are 💙💙💙...having spent many days with Great Ayton RSPCA team bonding with our destined to be new furry boy...hes home and loving it!

We have joy in our hearts again...and i know Duke would approve, and wants his mam to be happy...until we meet again.

Has been ridiculously emotional, sad and glad, guilt for my boy Duke but determination to offer a loving home to another beautiful animal.

It would seem that all my boys are happy..and that is all i need 💙

Maybe i'll just mix it up and use different ones for different sizes/strengths. Watch this space 🌄

Mammoth medicine making 🤲💚🌿🧙🏻‍♀️
Bounty of tinctures today. Feeling blessed in all that we have and received from the earth in this harvest.
This brings me peace.

'Vitex Agnus Castus'
A new addition to our hormone support remedies (personally pretty chuffed about this one re: perimenopause hellishness)
Keen to discover if this eases or worsens my hormonal low mood. I havent reacted well to pharmaceutical Progesterone in the past, in any form, so i am cautious but hopeful non the less.
'Menopause Manager' has eased the flashes and night time drenching.
'Up mood' formula is helping but its an intractable clouding of my positive thoughts...as when struggling with PMT.
I feel its only an adjustment to my current levels of s*x hormones that will lift this.
The research and trials continue...bring it on!

Appreciation and gratitude.
Giving thanks for nature's blessings this summer. What a wonderful harvest we've had! And a beaut summer.
How many more days will i find solice in the peace of my garden in glorious sunshine..and with me little pinkies out?!
But i am thankful for the changing seasons...for the respite it brings...for my busy life to ease a little and i can concentrate more easily on the other important aspects of life.
The autumn garden clear up and prep for winter will continue and we will be less well acquainted for a few months. Although i have been known to wrap up in the fav blankets and decamp out here in the winter sun.
Bring it on! Cozy socks and hats abound 🧦🧙🏻‍♀️💚🌈❄

Design...labels, stickers, packaging, monographs...not easy and not my greatest skill.
But i think im getting there.

Sunday morning wander through the wildness...missing my best mate and hoping to clear my head.
Nearly burst when i found the Mugwort 😍🤗..one of my all time hero herbs, for connection and enlightenment.

Feeling very blessed and guided, by something higher than myself, to be there this morning 💚🧘🏼‍♀️🌄
