Learning to live more intentionally. Very new to this platform and excited to connect with like-minded types.

@Hellybootwader one best friend is stressed beyond belief setting up a festival, another is asleep rn in Japan and the third has a fresh newborn. I have other mates, but no one I could burden.

Wife had a #miscarriage. Don't know arsehole from breakfast right now. Can't call family, don't trust them, don't wanna burden friends. White knuckling this shit.

Second hand pride for this spring quiche my wife made last night #baking #SundayBoast #food #sunday

Sign outside: Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does.

OK #Gardening hive mind, a snap frost yesterday may have wiped out half my early #potatoes. Are they a gonner or can I revive them? #GrowOwnFood #growyourown #allotment

I find it a hard matter to settle to business after so much leisure and pleasure.

πŸ”₯ A Beltane reflection while looking at this Samhain bonfire, reflecting on cycles.

Six months back, I was clearing dead plants and weeds at the allotment. Hard physical work with clear purpose - you can't grow new crops in crowded soil. Then digging in the manure, planning where crops were gonna go.

Same with myself really. Cleared out some habits that weren't serving me, made space for better ones to take root. Not as mystical as it sounds - just practical growth, like nature teaches.

A big bonfire

We visited Pen-yr-orsedd standing stones in #Anglesey to mark #beltane. No naked frolicking or drum banging this year, just #respect for the changing seasons and the blazing sun. #pagan #travel

Pen-yr-orsedd standing Stones in Anglesey. Three obelisk like stones in a triangle shape facing toward each other at a slightly acute angle. Green field, hedge, blue sky.

I can't get over the incredible beauty of #Anglesey #travel

Sea cliffs, but unreal and turquoise sea with caves

Gooseberries this year are going to be Insane #Gardening #growyourown

@Broadfork I dug up a big part of the back lawn and sowed wildflowers yesterday. So excited! πŸ’πŸŒ·πŸŒΊπŸŒΈπŸŒΉ

Blessings on #Beltane

I just love the way that mange tout climbs up like a bindweed or a morning glory. Beautiful.

All our earlies are now in! (5 rows, 4 varieties, maybe 60 plants). February feels like a lifetime ago now! #growyourown #potatoes #Gardening
