Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch
Went to a fund raising tea party to help raise money for those suffering from the the war in Ukraine. A vast array of Ukrainian cakes were made by Ukrainian refugees and they were a sight to behold. I’ve never seen such elegance and tasted such deliciousness. It was a beautiful gathering of love (and cake).
An immovable appointment meant I was battling a seaside storm earlier with my umbrella. Practical for snow pelting down, less so when the wind whipped up and turned it inside out 🤪😅 It was amazing to get back home again and appreciate a cuppa. Very grateful to feel cosy this winter stormy season.
Meet Baxter.
Best traits: Luxuriously velvety ears, super duper friendly.
Worst traits: Loves eating and playing with dead fish off the beach.
He’s the bestest boy obvs.
First sound check from my new seaside studio and a beautiful lens flare appeared so I thought I’d record it for you all and it turned into a little, happy chat. 😀
Excited to finally share with you the Saint Michael painting I’ve chosen for my studio wall. I’ve loved this Saint Michael art since the first time I saw it twenty years ago. Magnificent. Feeling blessed. 💙 by Daniel Mirante.
Braved the winds in my polar coat to witness this majesty. Totally obsessed with sunsets (haven’t quite got the sunrises sorted yet 😀).
Happy Saturday! Here’s my latest joyful newsletter. Only taken me five months to write 😅
Often, physically and mentally it can be so hard for me to move. Anywhere. It’s something I’ve dealt with my whole life. But whenever I win my internal battles and physical struggles, I’m rewarded with joyful feelings of wonder, fresh air and an uplifted spirit.
If you feel heavy or low, or if you’re dealing with a disability, I’m sending you so much loving encouragement and so many giggles. Laughter is such a healer. Come out with me for 5 minutes and take it all in. I guarantee you’ll feel better ❤️
Feeling very lucky. I was visited by a Florentine fairy yesterday and then I made a chai tea. This is my idea of heaven 😍 Extremely grateful for fabulous, dear new friends and the invention of the Florentine. I discovered them in childhood and have followed Florentines ever since. 🧚♂️🌷✨
A dear friend of mine gave me A Simple Prayer Book. I have loved reading it and these prayers are some of my favourites. They are heartfelt, wise, powerful and full of surrender, faith and majesty. They are accompanied by a new piece of music, which I love! God bless.

Enjoy all the happy moments outside whenever you can. Appreciate the ability to be able to walk on the ground and feel sun on your face. Not everyone has this option so revel in the wonder of it all regularly. It’s so good isn’t it? 🌞 Do it for those who can’t. 🩵
Darling little birds chattering in the ripply waves. They really are a delight. Not sure of their name yet. Maybe some kind of plover.
Happy Saturday dear lovelies. Remember to look up! There’s all kinds of magic going on with which to fill your heart ☁️🩷☁️
This lovely piece is the first from my new seaside home. 🌊⛵🌊 It’s got a lovely, relaxing sea soundscape which I recorded on New Year’s Day and some blissful harp melodies. Listen out for the delightful little stones rolling out to sea with the waves, they really are yummy. This is Mermaid’s Power.
Went to the the pond to feed the ducks and geese. There were warning signs saying it was all but illegal to feed the seagulls. Everything was quiet until they sensed the food. We were quickly surrounded. The poor geese didn’t stand a chance as the wily, winged beasts caught their spoils mid air.
Happy Monday dear lovely folk! I hope this message finds you in a place of comfort. How have you spent this first week of January? I’ve mostly been in bed recovering from the move 😅 Also, walking to the end of my road to see glorious seaside sights. Happy to report the wind has flown away. Very grateful for the chance to wander aimlessly looking up at this big old sky. 💙
