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.

sign, sign, everywhere a sign

our time away in hot steamy north New South Wales.. visiting little townships with names like Uki - where we drank organic rainforest coffee.

or Nimbin.. an early hippie town where people settled in the early 1970's. living the simple organic peace & love life... now it is a tourist mecca but also attracts those who enjoy pot/dope/marijuana. Joe and I were offered a 'bag' at least 6 times and some hash cookies.. I still wonder if i should have tried them. I have never smoked pot - ever. for some reason no-one believes me, but it is the truth.

Nimbin is a town full of colour..and signs.




Joe & I had lunch in the Rainbow Cafe. an eclectic place to eat. I had fresh carrot, celery and ginger juice




and to end this little picturesque journey today - I offer you : a Virgin a day

I give thanks
for Mother Mary.. who persisted, for years..
beckoning me...never giving up
for that, I say thankyou.

[please click on the photos - some of the words are quite.. umm.. entertaining. more of Nimbin tomorrow]
