About Me

My photo
here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Day 9. a special day

Thursday 11th February 1858: Mother Mary appeared to Bernadette at a small grotto in Lourdes.

Tuesday 11th February 1975: I gave birth to my first born. A son. Caine Jeremy. weighing in at a whopping 5lbs 4oz. I am so proud of this boy who has become a man. a gentle loving soul.

Happy Birthday, Caine
