30 - This was a fun episode to make. Remembering all the good times I had as a teacher. And some of the not so good moments too. It’s ecclectic and varied. It has sparkles and fun. Being a supply teacher was a challenge and a joy.
What’s getting you excited at the mo? I’m loving Reaper. I take so much satisfaction from blending harp sounds. I search for sparkly melodies within the layers and play around with the serious business of reverb and base. I am just so super duper high. I wanted to share my elation.
One month today I’ll be back under the spell of this gorgeous creature. Buzz. My cuddle loving, attention seeking cat crush who I travel across the country to see as often as possible. He’s the only reason I brave the crazy busy M25. Ten days of Buzzle love over Christmas. Lush.
My new boyfriend.
I started writing songs 10 years ago. Back then I was intense, going through a spiritual awakening and wanted to share it. I had a tiny phone camera balanced on 12 books. I’ve come a long way since then. I’m chilled, I play harp and I’m so excited about my latest harp creation.
The power.
The River Severn is a huge river. People surf it as the tide comes in. Opposite is Wales. It felt expansive on this autumnal day. There was something very special about the boat graveyard too. Where beautiful boats who have done their time, are laid to rest.
Pumpkin having a good old rummage. FYI Bunnies eat some of their poops twice. To digest what they didn’t previously. Yummy! 💩💩💩
Oh it’s time for more treats is it Pumpkin? Or should I say Little Miss Greedy Pants.
Indoor bunnies - it’s like having a minature farm inside your house.
Pristine bunny enclosure (after humans have tidied).
Five seconds later after PoopyMcPoopface enters the scene…
29: This is a very special episode with some very sweet guests. Pumpkin, Peanut and Pickles join me for a sing song and chat. I talk about my new experience of looking after rabbits for the first time, how I love it when they binky and what their characters are like.
I’ve got an exciting surprise in my next podcast…singing bunnies! Stayed tuned. It’s coming soon. ❤️
What a glorious ear.
Mmmmmm yeah.
Hey there baby. Having a nice rest?
River Severn.
28 - The subject of domestic abuse should be raised often.
This is my story.
I implore you to share this episode with anyone you think may take benefit and strength from it.
Here’s a helpline service via text message.
And here’s the article I read that made me want to share my story.
When coercive control was added to the statute books, it recognised something that victims of domestic violence had been explaining for decades: that the physical assaults were “not the worst of it”. It was the pattern of isolation, humiliation and domination that had broken them down, and robbed them of their lives.
I wish for every single person in the whole world to see this. It’s pure love for oneself and another. Something we could all do with feeling. ❤️
Hooray I’m back!! After two months of intense TMS (in my case extreme nerve pain) I’m finally free of it. I know it’s linked to my thoughts and emotions. I know how to change my mindset. I know how lucky I am to have my life. I’m finally in tune with music again and dancing free!
