Important places

The Spirits that live unseen in our cottage are

most definitely feminine. So to honour them &

the Divine Feminine I brought back from Glastonbury

this figure and in her belly sit my favourite crystals.

This is the most important area of our home, in my mind

I call it the 'engine room' for from this small space is

delivered the sustenance that drives our lives.

Our array of storage pots, you will notice two coffee

jars and that is because we blend two different types

&  sometimes we make a brew from just one of them.

The brandy was there just to remind me that I still

had to make another coffee liqueur for Yule.

I have a deep curiosity of looking at other peoples 

storage cabinets when visiting their homes & so

just to correct the balance, I thought to display ours.

Our collection of jugs, pots and vases sitting safely

on a beech shelf next to the books.

Shelves of curiosities from from a quaint musical box

to willow plates, a smoker's cabinet & the requisite

drinks shelf with a dish of crystals that separate

Wine from Whisky

All of the willow ware shown here was purchased to display in Mrs H's recent series of paintings. 

I hope that you have enjoyed your visit to our home.

The Trees Sleep

This is a special day it being November the 1st also the first day of Winter. Now please stand as you read on... 

The very special occasion is that it's Mrs Heron's Birthday, she is now xx years of wisdom and I am too much of a coward to enumerate here exactly how young she is. Er' you may now sit okay.

carpet of leaves

Above is the largest tree in our back garden - an Ash of which is always

a delight to the eye throughout the year and I am keeping my fingers crossed

that it avoids being damaged by the dreadful fungus as are so many elsewhere.

This pair of horses live in my neighbours' grounds, they seem to spend much of their lives grazing in this field and are only missing during the warm summer months. I took this photo to tie in with the title of the blog and depict the sleeping trees.
