Nurture with nature

There is a so much going on at the moment in the world, in the house, in my head. I have spent a week working out heating wattages, where pipes can go on repointed walls, how things will work in the kitchen to leave space for a sofa in front of the fire. How to […]
What is that?
“It’s a Papaya”. “What do you do with it?”. Where shall I begin?! Here’s a few things you can do with papaya: 1 Cut it in half and remove the seeds. These are very good for killing certain parasites in the gut, I know but you probably have a few…at least…. If you are making […]
Balance, balance, balance!
So, I passed both my courses! It was so intense, why did I do two at once? Next time (have I said that before?) I will listen when told “they are both intense and it is best to do one at a time”… Anyway, despite getting really stressed half way into the photography course and […]

Dieting? Not me!
After my obsession post I had various views from people who were involved in potentially extreme things… religion, diet, anorexia. Maybe we shouldn’t bandy words about without meaning them. I am passionate rather than obsessed, though having said that I have been obsessed and I have used food as a way to give myself control […]
Sprouts, but not as we know them!
Going back maybe 30, no 35…oh, no… OK, lets leave it at that, years I had a flat and a friend of a friend needed somewhere to stay for a few weeks. I had a spare room, so my place it was. He was definitely a long haired hippy, quite a few of my lovely […]
