Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

Admin, Hopes, Self-Discovery and Dentists

48 Hello! In this episode I cover a range of topics including music, creativity, critcism, teeth, admin, laughter and future hopes.

The link to Jake’s music theory and guitar YouTube channel is here - Signals Music Studio. He covers many interesting topics in a fun and accessible way - he’s a great teacher.

I’ve realised I wished everyone a happy summer in the podcast but some people are actually in winter time now depending on where they are in the world so here I am being inclusive of all seasons and persons - Happy winter/autumn/spring/summer! : )

Vulnerability and Narcissism

On the last day of me being 40, I’m releasing my 40th ‘Get on and Shine’ podcast yay! It’s not all sunshine and roses though.

A Funny Bunny Christmas

Seasons Greetings everyone!

Love from Holly and the bunnies X

You can sing along too:

The Holly and the Ivy
when they are both full-grown
of all the trees that are in the wood
The Holly bears the crown

Chorus:
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The rounding of the shining moon
The weary worn hunter

The Holly bears a blossom
White as the lily flower
and Ivy bears the blackest buds
to pull him to her power

The Holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Ivy bears the greenest leaves
To wrap him in her hood

The Holly bears a prickle
as sharp as any thorn
and Ivy bears a clinging vine
to smother him right down

The Holly bears a bark
Bitter as any gall
and Ivy bears small nectar flowers
to sweeten all his fall

The Holly and the Ivy
when they are both full-grown
of all the trees that are in the wood
these two shall wreathe as one
