BEETROOT JUICE

This is  a very brief post featuring a rather potent mix of delicious things. Although this fresh juice looks to be very beetrooty rest assured it only had a small chunk. I find too much is simply too much for me! Beetroot is very cleansing and as its colour suggests helps with all things blood-related. … Continued



WHERE NEXT?

The last few months have simply flown by. I have spent the whole of the summer months not blogging! What happened? To be honest I’m not really sure. Maybe I simply ran out of words even though there are so many available. Instead I read other people’s words and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of giving … Continued



WELEDA, THE FIELD.

I have, for the past year been a Wellbeing Advisor with Weleda. This is a relatively new initiative started by Weleda, UK. It is a great way to be involved with a super range, all of them being made from 100% natural products. As an Advisor I am self-employed and can sell as much or … Continued



RHUBARB AND GINGER CAKE.

A couple of weeks ago I received some rhubarb in our organic vegetables… Personally, I’m not a huge fan of these jewel-coloured stalks. I suspect it was the amount I consumed as a child. Up in the north east of England back in the 50s and 60s it was rare to see a vegetable plot … Continued



EARLY SUMMER…

Summer has apparently arrived! However, in my part of the world there is not a whole heap of evidence that this is true! Today is cool, breezy with the odd but very effective downpour. It’s therefore a brilliant day to write my blogpost for OM Yoga magazine which is way behind schedule. Those of you … Continued



OPENING LIKE A FLOWER….

The words below are taken from Sandra Sabatini’s book, ‘like a flower, My Years of Yoga with Vanda  Scaravelli’ The photographs are all my own but if you buy Sandra’s book there are wonderful photographs throughout.  I have now been practicing/living yoga for 20 years and at the beginning all I wanted was to work … Continued



A TINY TRIP TO LONDON..

It has been quite some time since I wrote anything for my blog. The whole month of May was taken up with The Bug which both I and my husband managed to go down with. We seemed to spend a lot of time huddled up in blankets and our constant companions were large boxes of … Continued



SOME RANDOM SCENES TO CHEER THE SOUL PERHAPS…

I have been unwell for the past days and am only just feeling the energy within me move in a more positive way. I do not get ill often but when I do my body really does it well! I simply collapsed and took to my bed..for days it seems now as I gaze back. … Continued



REEBOK SPARTAN RACE

I have been asked by Dan Krueger of Reebok SPARTAN RACE to write something about the various events taking place around the UK this year, so here goes. First and foremost, I am not participating! Once upon a time I did run and loved it but my running was on the flat, straight forward and … Continued



‘STALKING YOUR FEAR’ AND OTHER THINGS….

The photograph above was taken in a quiet corner of a beautiful garden in Italy. The surroundings were peaceful, gentle and inviting and then there was this chap! He was really rather spectacular and yet there was a sense of him inhabiting a dark space deep within me. He seemed, to me at least, the … Continued
