Getting ready for my Hermitage guest.

And a quick read of The Salt Path, since they passed by here. Ready for the film, coming out soon.

30 minutes drive from Treargel is a beautiful lake; with history, wildlife and gorgeous cake.

(Can anyone tell me what's in the tree?
I feel it may be something Getafix would collect.)

Enjoying Lansallos beach with friends, on a clear but chilly afternoon.

Thanks to for the lovely photos.

Testing places for when you visit Treargel Retreat.
It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

Tiramisu Roulade and decaf, oat milk, flat white. Oh my!

Storm Darragh finally encouraged us to take down our Yurt. Big thanks to the friends that helped us. And apologies to the wildlife that lived in it.

If you are local and want any bits, do let us know. Lots of trellis left over and the crown.

Stillness and Silence.
Mother Teresa encourages us;

"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

My weekly silence feels like such a small thing, but perhaps I can do it with love.

Enjoying the local culture here in Looe last night.
Even the pasties get dressed up.
I wonder which window will win?



Btw, I have a few spaces left over New Year.

I have a couple of tickets left for next Saturday.
Join us for some fun, mulled wine, and creativity.
Pass on to anyone you think might be interested.

Once again we're making beautiful festive wreaths, taught by artist Lindey Morgan-Lundie. Create, make, and laugh together.

Stillness and Silence

Yesterday I got stuck in Bristol, trying to get home. All the trains were cancelled due to Storm Bert.

It's interesting to note where our minds go to, when the path ahead is not clear. How about you?

Stillness and Silence

I have lovely childhood memories of this door. The excitement of turning up at my Aunt and Uncle's for a big family party. Wondering who would get to ring their wonderful doorbell.

I am so enjoying travelling round the country to visit my friends and family this week; talking, catching up, being with people I care about. But today I will take a little time out to be still and silent.

My sister lent me a book that tells of St Benedict, who suggests that in the noisiness of our lives we;

"incline the ear of our heart".

Perhaps in our Stillness today, we can try this.

Stillness and Silence

Labyrinths, like silence, are a great tool for helping us let go of things.

Enjoy.

Today I wrote a short email to my MP asking that she encourage her leaders to keep reviewing the licences we allow for selling Arms.

This post isn't to show off, or to argue my political views. But to encourage us all to keep using our voice to make this world a better place.

I know it's a drop in a huge ocean. But here's hoping for many drops.

For more information on the above, look at the research briefings on the House of Commons and Oxfam websites.

Trying to practice what I preach and go on Retreat myself.

Thanks to .retreats and the wonderful Dr Andrew Mayes for giving me the spaciousness to really consider my spiritual journey.

Considering the physical landscape of the West Bank and Gaza, they encouraged me to think about my inner landscape. Thinking about exposure and enclosure in the loneliness of the desert; the fear of the river and leaving behind the known and comfortable; and enjoying both the sunlight and dark cloud on the mountaintop.

Plus, I felt very welcomed and held under the watchful eye of the amazing Sue Rider and King Zog!
