The Tao of weeding
I’ve been out spending time in our much-neglected garden today. I must admit a deepening sense of defeat at times with our horsetail-ridden clay bed. A week ago the soil was still too wet to handle and today it was baked and cracked. I have nothing in the beds except weeds and some potatoes that…
Read MoreMy Random Acts of Kindness month challenge
This month I have been inspired by my cyber friend Melissa to take part in her Random Acts of Kindness challenge. This is something that has always been close to my heart. I love how the tiniest and most simple thing can make my day and it’s great to share that love around the planet…
Read MoreInstant manifestation and saving rubbish from the landfill
Yesterday afternoon Little Miss Green came to see me with a grin so huge I felt her cheeks would burst. Her eyes were sparkling and she just couldn’t control her absolute joy as it seeped out of her body. I had no idea what was going on, but was beckoned downstairs with a great flourish…

I laughed my way through an amazing thread this week, over at MSE about unusual things people had sold on eBay. It bought true meaning to ‘one mans trash is another’s treasure’.
Read MoreRamblings of a wannabe Beltane Goddess about the season of spring
Spring is rather like a birthing rite. There are so many conflicting energies. It is a transition. The simplest and most noticeable conflict is with the weather. One day we wear shorts, t-shirts and eat salad for lunch. The next, we are wrapped in cosy sweaters craving warming stews. During the season we have Lent.…
Read MoreUpdate on Crunchy Chicken’s Buy Nothing Month
I’m pretty good at this as my circumstances tend to force me to be anyway! Again, I tend to do really well for a while, and then just get something without thinking. I still stand by my biggest learning in this, which is, never to shop with children. Even in the small, local shop there…
Read MoreUpdate on Nature Mom’s Big Spring Clean
Oh dear! Here’s another one where I fell at the first gate! See, there’s this thing with me. I’m a starter and not much of a finisher. At school I could run the 200 metres like a rabbit on speed, but I could never do the cross country. I’m full of ideas, bursting with creativity,…

I have the ultimate picture to make you feel so much better about the state of your home to the left here. Yes, this is my ‘study’ before these challenges took place! Shocking, eh? I may have been away from blogging for a while, but I’ve kept the challenges in mind wherever possible! (and you’ll…
Read Moretaking a break!
My brain is overloaded! Do you ever have times when you feel really overwhelmed with everything? I feel like that at the moment and I’m noticing those first spiralling motions of depression. Better to nip it in the bud and not allow it to take its grip……..
Read MoreMy Buy nothing, cut the crap and spring clean challenges
Now this I love. I love it when I have an idea to do something and find people across the world thinking the exact same thing. Once April arrives, the first spring flowers have been and gone and blossom is appearing on the trees I get a kind of ‘ I-must-tidy-up-this-dump’ feeling that wraps itself…
