Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

Wild radish flowers are very beautiful.

The rain stopped. The clouds parted. The sky candy began.

This is a special prayer written by Thomas Aquinas, who is considered a doctor of the Catholic Church. It’s gentle, loving and fierce all at once. Softly spoken, in a whisper, listen for protection against evil and connection to Our Lady and Jesus Christ. Beautiful image by Timmossholder. 💙

Happy birdies. Happy Holly.

Digitalis. Foxglove. Came in on the wind. Or in a bird. I’m glad it did.

A special piece of music inviting you to find strength through your tears and turmoil. You are a radiant flower. Remember to open to the light. Nourish yourself with beauty. You are not alone dear one. You are surrounded by love.

More paddling picnic magic.

First delosperma flower in my new succulent garden has opened. Love succulents so much! Looking forward to watching them grow.

The best sarnie I’ve ever made. Organic eggs, spicy, juicy garden salad leaves, homemade bread. Coupled with a sea view, and after a paddle, I was in heaven last night. 😍

Been baking my own bread for a while now. Learnt some things along the way, after a few frankenstein loaves. It was a good one today.

This early heatwave in England has meant that evening picnics on the beach and paddles in the shallows have become our new, lovely reality. Hooray!

Love this.

A more normal looking English May day. North wind, grey clouds, fresh air. 💛

Hello lovely folks, what a whirlwind life can be! I do hope you’ve been enjoying some sunshine and spring flowers. It’s just soooo glorious here. We’ve been really lucky with the weather. I can’t get enough of my garden - there’s always something else to plant 😂 I’m really into swaying grasses, so I put in lots of different varieties here, including the giant pampas grass, do you know it!? They grow so huge!

I love the smell of the warm sand when I’m at the beach, it’s the best. Evocative of childhood, and finally reaching the seaside again after a long absence (I lived very far from it back then).

What are your favourite spring scents?

The blossom of loveliness. I was drawn to it like a moth to the light.
