Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

I first met Winifred when she was in her 90s. We played Mahjong. She told me stories about growing up in Kent. She loved dancing. She was a true lady; polite, elegant with an independent spirit. I am so grateful I can take a little of her with me. A box and a swan. Fly high Winifred. You are missed.

Gotta love a bit of Tasha Cobbs. Fill Me up has me weeping every time. This gospel is taken from a live album and it’s worth letting the song flow into the next - Overflow. It’s so divinely beautiful, powerful and deep. Amen.

One more week of cycling along this lane to get home. Making badgers jump, late at night, as they forage for worms. Smelling the scent of pine from the conifers nearby. I’ve been so lucky to experience such a wild and wonderful place. Soon I’ll have a new home, but I’ll never forget the magic here.

Clouds clouds clouds yay!

Altars are special places. This one of mine has so much magic on it. So much kindness, so many stories. Sacred gifts given to me with love and sweetness. Gifts given to me from people who have left this earthly plane now. Gifts given to me from dear, loving, generous friends. Gifts from holy places. And from Mother Nature. Altars are powerful places to connect back to yourself. And to connect with God.

An altar with a rose crystal necklace, brass bells and other sacred objects including plants and a picture of Jesus Christ.

So much beauty.

Spikey.

One of my favourite things is to spend time with the jackdaws and crows. When I look out of my little window, I get to be up in the tree canopies with them, watching them cuddle together or annoy each other. Here they are chattering about the high value snacks I just put out. I love their swoops.

When the sun catches the treetop frost, my heart does a little dance.

I really do love it when everything goes white. I’ve added a warm tint because these are the colours I see through my wonderful sunglasses. Hey Ebony and Lexi! 😄😎💛🧡

This is my last stream from Scotland! Please join to me for positive vibes, good cheer and healing prayers of light. Saturday 2nd Dec 11am GMT. 🎵

And then it was white.

I’m moving in 2 weeks but shall be enjoying the bunting (and pom poms) until the very last minute!

The ever changing beauty of nature and the celestial sky.

Distant countryside with sun rays, rolling hills, pine trees and blue sky.

Steamy sunset. It’s not hot steam though 😅🥶

The glory.

I very much enjoy a toffee with my coffee.

Now the leaves have dramatically blown away and the garden is full of leaf drifts, the view beyond the beech trees has returned and is as glorious as ever.

This is the view from my new studio window. I’ll be touching down there in three weeks. How wonderful to be greeted by this pure white dove the first time I looked out of it. It feels like it was meant to be and the Holy Spirit was saying ‘all is well, just trust and keep the faith’.

Happy Friday! What a moody, mysterious day it is today. It’s the kind of dreich weather that makes your toes cold 🥶 This back garden view is what makes where I live so special. I’ll miss it (but not walking up the hills).

I’m a sucker for pom poms so I’m obviously elated with this new string of them accompanying me in my studio space. Every time I look at these colourful beauties I do a little dance. It’s the simple things that I love the most.

For the love of autumn 🍃🍂🍁✨

Hooray a new release! It’s a calming, uplifting harp journey with a soundscape of a crackling fire to accompany. The music takes you on a warm voyage. Rest a while. Drop all your thoughts. Connect with cosiness, kick back and get snug. Let the music take you away. 🎶 This is Fireside Harp Vibes.
