Holiday plan disruption This year I haven’t had a proper holiday so I was hoping to have at least a break for my birthday at the beginning of October before the weather starts being too winterish. I was longing to have a change of scenery by flying with my partner to Brittany in northern France with…

I started this painting in the afternoon after a day of revelations. I was satisfied. A door has opened for me into where all the questions about what I wanted to do came to rest. I’ll write about this sometime later. In the painting, the drawing in grayish green came into the paper from above…

The day dawned sparkly bright… I let myself out of the french windows onto the long lawn in front of Buxted Park hotel…A spectacular September morn; the dew was soft sharp cold on my feet… I padded round the back of the building, trotted slowly up the drive and into the country lanes, dappled in strobe…

No! We can’t afford it. We can’t manage that. I can’t take time off work. These are the most common responses that my husband gives when I suggest a new activity, event or life change. He has high anxiety and OCD coupled with mild depression, and he can be very difficult to live with. But…

I am sitting in the crystal bar at Buxted park, it is cozy warm here… Outside the rain is pouring down; it has a winter feel to it… And yet this morning the day dawned fresh and clear, sunny bright over a sparkling sea. The tide coming in slowly of the wet black seaweed stones….

I thought about this many times lately. It was like an old friend, knocking on my window to wake me up. Drawing is my most direct expression. When I started doing abstract drawings many years ago, I was thinking about sculptures that I wanted to make. I did not have the how to, the where…

Yesterday I was presented with an opportunity to further my spiritual work in a mainstream setting, something I’ve been fostering in the world for decades (for all healers, not just me!). But there was a caveat, and for me, a big one. I was required to get a mandatory flu vaccine. And I refused. Now,…

It has been a month since our beloved family dog died. He lived a long, happy life after we found him in a local dogs’ home. We have no knowledge of his origins, only that when he came to us he was very nervous, and he had a terrible reaction to loud noises like smoke…

We are on the road again… We dropped our key in with our landlady and chatted awhile with her and her husband before we left… ‘You are the talk of the town in your bare feet’ they laughed… I forget that communities are small, and they talk, and that a woman running about in the…
