Inspiration for Life

A curve-ball from the Universe

Even when the Universe throws me a curve-ball I know that all is well and there is something even better on its way.

Congratulations to @eoinscolard and Eva on their first live performance this evening at Café Lembrazique.

After 5 years of very hard work getting our own garden and potager in shape I finally feel that I have time to volunteer every Tuesday morning for the excellent @happycultors. So this morning was spent sowing seeds, potting on beautiful, healthy, organic vegetable and flower plants, chatting in French, drinking tea, and making new friends in a gorgeous environment. I ❤️ the ethos of this fabulous initiative and all that they are doing and I feel that I have finally found my tribe. #happycultors

After our long and eventful flight through the storm yesterday I am so grateful to have made it home to enjoy the calm after the storm, the countryside after the city, and being here now. #createalifeyoulove #creatingbeautifulspaces #creatingbeauty

This was definitely the most expensive taxi ride I have ever had! After 2 dramatic aborted attempts to land during a storm at Bergerac yesterday🛫✈️🛩️🛬🛩️🛬✈️, the plane home from Edinburgh was diverted to Tours and, eventually, @ryanair organised taxis for the 4 hour drive back to Bergerac!! 🫣 I finally got home at 1am, only 9 hours later than expected!!

Keeping everything crossed that @ryanair make it easy for the 4 of us who shared this adventure to claim back our taxi fare quickly. 🤞🤞🤞 #ryanair

It was worth it to wake up at home this morning

Thanks to Edinburgh and @sniphist for a beautiful 4 days. I'm heading home to the forest tired but with a very happy heart. ❤️🙏

8 years and 3 degrees after she was elected as local representative for the Green Party in Co Down, Northern Ireland aged o 21, today I got a personal tour of @sniphist's workplace at the Scottish Parliament.

@sniphist treated me to a very nice afternoon tea at the excellent @willowtearooms on Princess Street today. I feel like I am on a 4 day culinary tour of Edinburgh! It's all very yummy and this chef is really enjoying being cooked for by others!

I have totally lucked out with the weather in Edinburgh and the city is also full of blossom right now 🌸🌸. It's all looking very beautiful.

It's hard for me to believe that this time 4 years

It's hard for me to believe that this time 4 years ago this was all just grass and weeds! I'm so pleased with how it is maturing with my usual planting mixture of herbs, veg and perennials plus lots of gifts from @_lucyfleur's flower farm and a LOT of love and attention. It has hardly cost a cent. 🌼🪻🌹🌞🤩

This garden is my main creative outlet, my gym, my meditation space, my healer, my therapist, my teacher, my food supply, and my paradise. It's no wonder I don't leave very often!!

When we moved here 6 years ago we didn't know that

When we moved here 6 years ago we didn't know that we had inherited this wisteria plant which I have since been trying to tame! Although I have managed in some areas it still climbs about 20 metres up through the huge Douglas Fir at the front of the house. This week it is particularly breath-taking and the whole garden is permeated with it's sweet scent. It triggers my heart to soar with joy every time I walk outside. ❤️ #wisteria #wisteriaflowers #glycine

With me living in France and Georgia living in Edinburgh we don't get to see eachother much and it's been a long time since we have been able to celebrate her birthday together. So it was very sweet to be able to synchronize our separate travel plans and meet for lunch in Dublin on her 29th birthday before both heading off in different directions again! 🥳

Happy happy happy birthday @sniphist ! 🥳🍸🍹🥳

Dublin ... it's been a long time! I feel like a time traveller arriving back into another life!

It's been 4 years since and a pandemic since I was last in Ireland and 2 1/2 years since @eoinscolard and I have been away together so it seemed only fitting to celebrate the start our 5 day trip to Dublin with some cocktails. Slàinte. 🍀🍹🍸🍀🍹🍸🍀🍹

3 years ago I made my first no-dig flower bed by covering a weedy, tarmacked verge outside our front gate with cardboard, laying some leaf mould and grass cuttings on top then planting some cuttings into it. Apart from a few spring bulbs the whole thing didn't cost a penny and it took one day to create. Since then it has needed virtually no maintenance, attracts loads of pollinators and looks like this today ! 🤩🌷🌼🪻🌹#nodiggardening #nodig #womenwhogrowflowers #organicgardening #biodiversity #bio
