First Snow of the winter! Seaside trips.......

 A weekend in Devon with friends and a foraging walk - wonderful walk, learned so much..amazing how many 'greens' there are still to eat around..  So grateful for having learned about this group..     didnt get to go to the seaside this trip but did go to Dartmoor for a walk - bloomin cold but beautiful!  Dancing on Saturday night - trying to clear my head of thoughts and mitherings, endeavouring to be present and meet new people...bumped into a close friend of the ex  - bittersweet.  Brought up so many emotions!  I feel that we have a lot in common but there is that link to the 'past'...  the universe really knows how to play games!  Every time I cut a chord, release an attachment, something comes in to re do..


Today, a long drive today to meet up with my herbalist in North Wales.  Beautiful journey in the main, lovely Autumn colours, crisp sunshine but a biting cold wind.   Went through the highest village in Wales - there was snow on the road!!!  Only for a few yards..but still!   Snow on the mountains in the distance - beautiful!

And as Milo was so patient with me on the drive, and sitting in the car on the Tesco's car park for a while...I took him to the beach for a run!  Lovely!

Yay! Breath still 'quiet' and I feel amazing!

Wow!  My body just feels so amazing right now.. I hadnt realised how weak/low it had got!  I'm still getting out of breath when going up stairs/up hills. but its significantly better..and hardly any coughing or husky voice!  Unsure whats made the difference, stricter diet with the added avoidance of tomatoes and onions or the herbs that I've now been taking for two weeks!  Whatever..I love how my body feels...so much so, that its a shame I have no one to share it with right now!

Just been on another walk with the dogs through the countryside.. amazing clear day, with sunshine and blue skies..the autumn colours so striking - it feels like I am in Spain or somewhere.   3 buzzards circled the woods and kept swooping into the valley below..I felt like I wanted to soar with them!   Hugged my sacred trees, sending love and light to my beloved.   I am so thankful to be alive!  My heart is open and singing loud....

Breathing again....amazing!

At last, my breathing has improved to the point that I can at last return to my sacred woods...what a blissful few hours this afternoon.  Reconnecting with the trees, the stream..noticing the leaves slowly changing colour, plentiful mushrooms and some walnuts as well...Yum!  It seems like weeks since I was able to climb up the hill to them..but the lakes have kept me well  nourished - they are nice and flat!  This morning was amazing..the mist from the lakes was circling around..wonderful.  Will get some photos when the opportunity arises next time.

The Medical Enigma continues as my GP/Consultant research things further..nothing I can do now on that front until my meeting with them next week.    In the meantime, I am more strict on avoiding animal proteins and last night had a wonderful vegan pizza after watching the film Tamara Drew.  Very funny..but the pizza made the evening.

Ok...this is a quick write up... going to crack these nuts, and eat some wonderful food!

Autumn moves in....saying goodbye to summer..

Not been sleeping well the last few nights..combination of breathing issues, and general energy stuff going on.. but been watching the half moon gently cross the sky.

There is a definate change in temperature now, the winds are cold, no hint of hot weather returning so I guess its almost time to pack away those summer tops and dresses..  this is what I plan to do this weekend, together with my tax return!  oh the joys of single life!  I smile!      Saying goodbye to the summer...its certainly been a hell of a ride once again..

the leaves are still green, the fruit on the tress still ripe for eating but now turning mouldy and shrivelled from all the rain..  mushrooms abound though.. I am loving the fact I can go off into the woods and discover some fresh ones for tea each day... 

This morning, went for some blood tests..my arm is aching now but at least I didnt faint!  my GP had been sent a note re my collapse/crash team incident in hospital a few weeks ago.. so I wasnt allowed to leave their care today, for a good half hour.. to assure them I wouldnt repeat things on them.  funny.. this time, I took my own ginger biscuits with me in case of emergency!

A client came for a treatment who suffers from MSA, which is similar to Parkinsons..  she wont be regular, she is just a visitor on the farm..  but she was so 'into' her disease and how it effects her daily life... the only respite she says she received was when she was asleep..  she was probably 'off-loading' to the 'therapist' here but it was shocking how low she was in energy....  I see that the mental attitude is so important to overcome such conditions...  I must remember that when I start to get down about my breathing stuff..

you know its so quiet here...  all i can here is the tap of the keyboard...and the whirl of the laptop

I have some 'work' to do, some employment law stuff but finding it hard to get the motivation...should try to do some before my next massage client..

Autumn around the corner...misty woods...skipping!

What an amazingly beautiful morning here in the Teme Valley.....

The sun is watery, clear blue skies, and a mist rising from the valley's....surrounding everything in mystery...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Just come back from walking in the wonderful woods..magical.. sunlight filtering through the trees...  lay against one of the oak trees and it was like she was holding me, nurturing me into her breasts....  I then lay my spine against another..and again, ecstatic energy flowing through.... so amazing to feel and breathe..  (yes i said breathe..)   and then I shared my blood with the moss, the bark, the forest floor....sweet.

and..you know what I did today... I skipped... skipped through the woods.. laughing...  I felt so free... and in love.. with life!  havent done that for such a long time..since I was little girl...  wonderful, awesome, magical....

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
