“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
A video that I’d posted here early last year has been taken down. Please don’t give me a volley – yt did that! Anyway, it was a brilliant talk given by Barry Carter. There are many more videos by him still available. Like this one : Oh. And the book above is one that he […]

Oh. PishPosh! I had sooooo many plans for today. After walking (yes, walking) through a part of the hedge and finding that it was actually dead and easy to pull up, I made a secret opening, right under the huge hazelnut tree, from here to the gooseberry and currant bushes. Woohooo! Today, I’m hacking back, […]

ALL my life I have had a Phobia about public swimming pools. They remind me of the M25. Too many people/cars. Too much xyz pollution. But. Once upon a time or thrice….I’ve woken up early and swum.swam/swimmed in the swimming pool above. Lovely warm water. Nice surroundings. Total peace and quiet. Sigh. Place Place Vendôme, […]

If I may be so bold…Vivien Leigh was (for me) the most beautiful violet eyed actress EVER. Wiki : Vivien Leigh “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” She can out-trump Liz any day of the week.

For the first time in a few years, we’ve got a leg of lamb on the bone for lunch tomorrow. My glass pepper grinder was smashed this week so I’m doing it the old fashioned way – in my large, heavy mestle and portar….sorry…pestle and mortar. Who needs to pay thousands for a personal trainer […]

My beautiful mentor, Leslie…yes. Get over my blahblabblab. On Cura Romana I took and I quote from the lady herself….“Vitamin C – You will need to take 3 x 1000mg (1gram) capsules of Vitamin C each day.” MSM is also good with Vit C. A match made in healthy heaven ? ? ? P.S. Leslie was American. She […]

OK. First it was the pesky nettles. Now it’s the rambling rose bushes. I’m injured and a bit hurty so…time to come inside and read. Much safer :o) As I was looking through my library room for something completely different, I stumbled across this book above. OMG. I’d totally forgotten that I used to make […]

Today has been a bloody GOOD Day. I’ve somehow cleared a centuries old Karmic debt of persecution, spite, murder, malice, silencing, revenge and PURE EVIL that had only one goal.

Just acknowledge him/her. Yes. It IS that easy. I’m still so connected with the little girl that I once was. She was free. Alone. Usually Barefoot. With an Observer’s Book of Flowers/Trees/Birds/Sea etc in her hand (depending on where she’d find herself roaming.) I can still see me on the beach…on the East Coast of […]
