About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Plan ahead and dream of all the beautiful things that life has to offer

special times ~ Christmas

lots of chatter about Christmas already !!! I AM not ready for Christmas and I REFUSE to get caught up in all the planning until December 1. This is the day that I start my preparations - I put my wreath on the front door, Bing Crosby - White Christmas playing and I start planning. I thrive on deadlines..... there is way too much happening right now to even start a list or think what I will cook...... I like to savour spring time, spending time in my glorious garden...then of course, there is ms*louisa's wedding which is taking precedence over anything until October and we also like to celebrate Thanksgiving in November, even though we are Australian.. we still have a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings on the Saturday after Thanksgiving is held in America. After all, I believe it doesn't matter where you live, there is always something to be thankful for.
so all that said - this Christmas is going to be simple - Christmas to me isn't about gifts - oh sure, we give gifts but the most important part of Christmas for me - is spending time with loved ones, sharing a meal and making memories for our grandchildren.... that and of course attending the midnight mass.
I do make one allowance however - and that is I start soaking my fruit for the fruitcakes in September.

Christmas is my favourite time of the year, there's something special about that season - the whole thing about it being the birth of Christ makes it even more special but I also love all the hoopla that goes on at that time. We made alot of our own decorations last year and I think we'll do the same this year. It's a great time for all the family to get together.
