2022

Whimsical, joyful Christmas card don’t you think? Drawn by the talented Adriana de Matos. I love his little face so much and the berries are so voluptuously red πŸ˜…

Afternoon vibes with my squirty whipped cream 🍦 love it sooooo much. It’s full of 🫧 🫧 🫧 And just to confirm, it’s an entire cup of cream, not just a topping πŸ˜‰

I appreciate the little town where I live in Scotland. They make a lovely effort throughout the year to celebrate the seasons and it makes everyone happy.

A Christmas gift if you wish. Here are some free download codes for my album Craobhan, which means Trees in Scottish Gaelic. Full of birdsong, ethereal voice and magical harp, it’s a little treasure. πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„

Solstice blessings everyone. As the sun begins to return, I call in abundant miracles for the golden year of light ahead.

May I be free from pain and have the courage to strive forward into a healthy future of ease.

I dance on this journey with smiles and laughter reminding myself and others about worthiness. Reminding us to shine.

May I accept how my stars align. May I see everything as a new adventure. May I swim like a mermaid whenever the urge takes me πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ

I let go of fear. I remember to trust and I trust that I will be looked after. I release the need to take things personally and react too sensitively. I forgive.

May I greet each day with joy. May I dive ever deeper into my creative spark. May I let go of past resentments and choose love.

I am pure energy and sparkle with celestial light.

Yes.

Zola Blood are melancholic and haunting whilst being totally funky and uplifting. With such a combination of sound and rhythm, I find myself soaring high with the vocalist. Here’s their album Infinite Games from 2017. I’ve had many an adventurous car journey to this music.

Apparently these icicles were as high/long as a house πŸ§ŠπŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« ❄️ β˜ƒοΈ but the perspective doesn’t show on a phone.

I can’t go on long walks without my feet protesting but my lovely Simon can. I’ll be gradually adding some photos of the glorious settings he visited on the way to a magical waterfall yesterday. Let’s begin his walk here.

Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by your name;
you are mine.
When you walk through the waters,
I’ll be with you;
you will never sink beneath the waves.
When the fire is burning all around you,
you will never be consumed by the flames.
When the fear of loneliness is looming,
then remember I am at your side.
When you dwell in the exile of a stranger,
remember you are precious in my eyes.
You are mine, O my child,
I am your Father,
and I love you with a perfect love.

Words by Gerard Markland based on four verses from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 43.
