Samhain past

Just a couple of pictures of me with a couple of friends celebrating Samhain in the burial chamber Barclodiad y Gawres in Ynys Mon. Steve and I were part of an eclectic coven of pagans who celebrated the Sabbats together with great honour and a lot of joy!!

Our beautiful home

I haven't written on my Blog for a few weeks, as life has been very busy as usual and I have had woman flu!! However, today is a day I think for relaxing finally and a bit of good old fashioned contemplation.
I have filled my Blog with just a few of the wonderful pictures I have taken from, and of, our home.








We are so lucky here be rewarded, almost on a daily basis, with sumptuous sun-rises and seriously scrumptious sunsets. The sun rises majestically over the back of our garden - waking our chickens up gently each morning - and then sets with a roar of red and orange over the pond to our front side.


We watch buzzards, kites, sparrow hawks and kestrels soar in our skies. Sparrows, finches, tits, woodpeckers and robins are some of the birds we feed. Fly-catchers, swallows and field fare are our seasonal visitors. Pheasant, partridge and moor hen scuttle around the garden. Foxes, hares, rabbits, deer and stoats treat us to their company, while badgers and hedgehogs leave us messages of their overnight meanderings!







To live in such a place is real food for my soul. I can take a hard day in work as long as I have this to return to.
Wonderful, wonderful Mother Nature at her very best .......
