pebbles, sea glass, wishing stones, creating my own beach ! want to string lots of pebbles into a nice long necklace. Wow so heavy and difficult to drill holes, so I made my own ! Translucent clay, soot embossing powder, alcohols inks and practice ! very pleased with the results
Who would believe I am immersed in a book, a book of fiction! unheard of for many a year. Books I read are always non-fiction, factual, history, spiritual, philosophy, biographies. I believe that nothing happens by chance, so padding across the floor in my villa, dripping wet from a dip in the pool, I noticed a large basket full of books and felt drawn to look, the first book I plucked out looked interesting, THE YEAR OF THE FLOOD by Margaret Atwood. Immediate thoughts were read it, just sit back down in the sunshine and start reading, So I did.
I am just over half way, I can’t say its a book I cannot put down, or that its scintillating, but it is quite mesmerizing, not really science fiction, I would have put it down immediately, but its more a about a speculative view of what our would could become. How the corporations are hellbent in destroying everything I hold dear in my life. Like Jeanette Winterson’s review says “it’s not prophecy, but is eerily possible.
Being a lover of nature and growing veg, Gods Gardeners, their views, ceremonies and ethos resonates in some way, it is drawing me in, I am reading this for a reason, sure there is a gift here, it will come to me, with less than half still read, I am intrigued as to why this book turned up for me right now. Could be its going to tell me this is why you don’t read non-fiction so you were on the right track all the time !! who knows
Home at last, back in the calm of my newly decorated bedroom! Long story for another time, energy lines, changing bed around, dark blue !!
The last couple of weeks have been away installing a project in the Derbyshire Hills, extremely hectic, exhausting but in the end quite exhilarating when you look around and see the vision I have been holding for such a long time come to fruition
Such a beautiful area Derbyshire, this last weekend relaxed a little at the Riverside Hotel in Ashford in the Water, such a picturesque village, with its little stone bridge, church and cottages.
