Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the New Year!

My most favourite time is when its grown to just about my knee height and you can easly see across the field as you walk through it! Then over time is starts to rocket in height! Until its then cut for Hay! And so the whole cycle can then start all over again!
I often feel alittle sad when the meadow is first cut...I kind of miss …

This sweet little space has clearly been used by squirrels to store their nuts....but when you feel deeper into the space more is revealed and you feel it as a sacred space. And you feel its magic!

I have always loved being outside in nature and natural world is such a huge inspiration for my creative work! I spend lots of time outside!

Sunflowers have to be one of the most cheerful and happy flowers of the Summer! Along with its powerful visual presence, the energy of Sunflowers offers us the opportunity to re-balance and restore ourselves...cleasning the heart, whilst still holding our presence in the world.

For me it is always such a powerful, beautiful flower to create in sugar. I …
