Good morning everyone 🤗

It's a beautiful calm morning here. The sun is trying to peek through the clouds, the tide is out and the sand is a lovely soft beige ⛱

I have had my wake up coffee ☕

Now time for a bit of breakfast 🍌🍑🍓

I will be heading off soon to pop over to Leasowe lighthouse to do a bit of light foraging 🌸🌺

I may even grab some chips from The Green Hut 🍟 😋

Look out for the videos of my car-camping adventure.

Have a lovely day everyone and get outside 🤗

Upcycling is my favourite hobby.

This 1980s potpourri ceramic holder was made by the Italian company 'Hathaway'.

It originally had the lid, but it was broken.

The pot was stained and had the diamantes missing.

I did a quick trial paint job first, then went over it with new shades, jewels, chain and a lot more charm 😊

A lot of TLC went into this 🤗

It is up for sale

⭐⭐ £10.00 ⭐⭐

Delivery available (petrol costs apply)
Postal available (but without plant)
No collection point available presently.

Good morning everyone 🤗

The sun is shining, the earth is wet and there's a coolness in the air that I am very happy about, because gardening is so much easier when it is a day like today.

Yesterday was a complete washout. It pretty much hammered down all day. Apart from about an hour when I popped over to Parkgate to drop off a free gift to a lovely lady.

Then just as I was leaving her home, it began to rain heavily. Back home I went, disappointed that two garden jobs had to be cancelled today.

Good news is today is going to be perfect 🤗 Two clients today. One in Bromborough and one in Parkgate.

I will post photos later if I remember to take any.

Talking of crazy weather did anyone see the twister over The River Dee yesterday?

Wow.. incredible.

Time to get a coffee and get ready for my first gardening job of the day.

Take care everyone and get outside 🤗

Chat with you all soon 😊

Oh that cobbled area by the pond is just gorgeous.... An absolute treasure to uncover.

I am looking forward to returning next week to uncover more of these lost cobbles 🤗

Good morning everyone 🤗

I am back to gardening today and the weather is perfect. The forecast is a bit of rain, cloud and sun. Which is fine. Because after all that heat I am happy to work in cooler temperatures.

I have had quite a few days off again the past week due to the heat. But I kept myself busy studying and sorting my own gardens out.

My herbal garden is beginning to look a little bare now, as I begin the harvest.

One of my mugworts has been cut down and brought inside. It is in a vase in the corner of my lounge next to the fairy. Which reminds me of the beautiful poem I wrote for mugwort. I will pop it under the photo below.

One of my lemon balms has been cut to the ground. The leaves dried and jarred and the flowers dried and jarred. Except for a small handful of dried flowers, that are infusing in Sweet Almond oil.

This will be added to some beeswax/shea butter (depending on your requests) to create a lovely nourishing and soothing lip balm for those colder days that will soon be here. I may look at adding some seabuckthorn oil too.

The seabuckthorn berries are currently drying, but more is needed because I do eat a lot of these throughout the colder months for their anamazing health benefits.

I still need to bring in all the plantain to dry for that all important respiratory support. I need to cut more privet leaves for natural floor cleaner, cut the ivy for poultices and soap, and collect the Elderberries for tinctures... so much to do, so little time.

Not to mention my food garden where the tomatoes are doing great, the potatoes are almost ready to dig and bag, and the onions are definitely ready to hang.. and Himalayan honeysuckle and fuschia berries to pick 😋

My apple tree is sad this year, but nothing goes to waste. I will eat what I can and use the rest for ACV. And there will be plenty for the wildlife.

I better get going my lovelies.

Have a lovely day and get outside 🤗

Tatty bye for now 👋

In case you missed the memo 📝

All my crafts, art and the rest of my crazy items are over on their new page...

And there will be some new items getting posted too, like this necklace and more.

It's amazing what I am finding in my craft room. I need to empty as much as I can as I need more space for jars for dried herbs, for tinctures, for creams ... for plants 😁

Pop over and give the new page a follow

Good morning everyone

I am at home today suffering with an IIH flare up.

It started with holographic pre-migraine visual auras on Friday... strangely the actual condition usually begins within a few hours of the visual disturbance.

But it took until Sunday for the flare up to start.

I was also nursing a sore foot on Saturday after being bit on the top where the metatarsal bones are... and boy did it swell... AND ITCH 😣

Insects really like me. They find me tasty and I am presently treating about 15 bites. Possibly why I have the flare-up.

All those little bites dropping tiny drops of toxins into my blood stream. My immune system gets a bit panicky and drops excess fluid around my brain to protect it... and it hurts.

I managed the insect bite on my foot with some lovely plantain and manuka honey poultice, because if I didn't get the damn swelling down, I couldn't put my shoe on 🤷‍♀️

When the IIH started the next day I had to reach for the diuretics, drink lots (but no caffeine), eat little (no salt) and take my favourite herbs.

My herbal blend included: hibiscus for diuretic properties. My nervines were lemon balm, Valeriana & a little sprinkle of Lactuca dried leaves.🌿

It is a great blend for the type of pain I get from this awful condition and it all helps me sleep better too.

Tastes great with a bit of dried fruit in there 😋. And let's face it, vit C ... immune support. I mean echinacea would be better, but I haven't got any right now 😊

Today, the foot is better. I can actually get my shoe on now 😁

But I am feeling a little fluffy headed from my herbal blends and there is still pain on the left side of my head, ear and eye.

And unfortunately, the CSF has now worked its way to the lumber area and left me with back pain... and not forgetting the nausea from swallowing the CSF 🤢 (I think some antiemetic like peppermint will get that sorted).

All this means I am at home again today and no gardening :(

Living with this condition can be such a challenge. But fortunately, I very rarely have flare-ups and have not needed any pharmaceutical intervention for over 8 years now 💪🌿😁

I am off now my lovelies to grab some fruit, a delicious herbal tea (only lemon balm and dried fruit today) and relax watching the birds in my garden eating and splashing in their water baths.

Take care everyone and get outside 🤗

Tatty bye for now 👋
