amid the snow
Whoops, no blog posts for a bit! We were blocked in for two weeks, then ran madly around buying food and Christmas. I do prefer Yule, no purchase required In the midst of this we had a sad happening with the loss of Fantine. She was 20 years old and very frail but we all [...]
sheep, a candle, a cake and the sky
another soul searching Transformation Game was played… it really does embody that Findhorn-esque quality of sharing and discovering deep things openly with others, love it. Wonderful companion to the morning pages of The Artist’s Way. Related posts:chocolate brainsvery windytatties and cookies
Transformation
Angel party playing The Transformation Game, a spookily accurate spiritual game devised at Findhorn. Wonderfully light humour pervades it. Related posts:girls go up the mountainchocolate rice pudoh no, I’ve got to think of titles now? first post…
joyful swimming and pie
When we bought this house the old endowments associated with our previous mortgage were no longer needed and we wanted to invest the money from them in this property (trying to be sensible). The kitchen was hanging by a thread so that got replaced and the children were given the choice of what the rest should be spent [...]
lovely herbs and the unintended
Cat has a wonderful new website: The Tasty Herbalist - go see Strange day today where a slight disaster led to us doing totally unintended things such as visiting the Wallace and Gromit exhibition at Satrosphere. It was very good, also being about other animation and techniques etc. Related posts:maths and yew treeslittle catch upword cloud

Halloween 2008
a gentle start to the day: getting costumed up: then off to the party!! Moonrabbit Lucy’s fabulous animatronic butler – speaks, breathes, turns head and eyes… and a little education did happen too Daytime pics of graves as I, correctly, doubted my camera’s night-time abilities… The witches walk took place in the dark with [...]
sea spaghetti and volleyball
Bit of everything good, this soup. Put some water on and chuck the following in: broken spaghetti or other noodles, sea spaghetti, leek, garlic, celery, kale, chives, red pepper, frozen peas near the end of cooking, miso once off the heat and cooled slightly, seasalt to taste… garnished with parsely and radish Got the sea [...]
Lucy, Lucy quite contrary
…lots of gardening been going on, between torrential rain showers. Weve planted up propragaters with various planned things: kale, brocolli (early sprouting), celery and tomatoes; toms I intend growing on in the front porch. I won’t detail them but I may have nightmares about the strange plants the kids chose and that are now growing in their [...]
