Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

Love this Drum and Bass set from Maduk. Lots of funky, liquid beats. Love the Pokemon remix. Now that takes me back to happy moments. And other 90s retro samples dotted about the set are evocative of times past and remixed to create even more awesomeness. Enjoy the bounce.

How many people have fallen in love with a plant? Because I just did. Caladiums rock.

Opening night of the new season with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra featuring Mahler’s 4th Symphony. Exhilarating to the senses. The word mental came up a few times. 😂

What’s your favourite composer and symphony/concerto?

I love Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto no. 2.

I had the pleasure of meeting this Red Admiral today. What a beauty.

Happy Friday! This is a gloriously sweeping harp journey full of joy and vibrancy. It ebbs and flows and has an uplifting energy to it as it dances across the strings. It’s also pensive and emotive and offers you a warm, wise embrace.

Being 200m above sea level means there’s a freshness which makes my heart sing and my skin tingle with goosebumps when I arrive back from the warm city. Sometimes it can be ferociously windy up here. Today it’s peaceful and just lovely.

Magical Glasgow moments in Merchant City and City Halls.

Hello dear family, I would love you to listen to this sermon from Father Andrew Robinson. The first time I heard his gentle words I had tears streaming down my face.

A vase of birthday wild flowers is a real treat. The buttercups gleam gold in the light.

As a kid, birthday cards were a bit of a boring process and left to open last. These days, at age 44, I cherish them and love how colourful and artistic they are. I feel I could reach into these pictures and enter their worlds 😸 I think I already do.

I never knew spotty socks could bring me so much joy.

This awesome harp journey features psychedelic, relaxing cat purrs along with melodic, dreamy harp. I love cat purrs, they’re so soothing. This purrscape features four different purrs all intertwined.

Here’s the gorgeous Buzz being totally handsome as usual. He’s my cat crush.

This is a beautiful prayer repeated five times and accompanied by ambient harp music. Call on Mary to pray for you. Send up your worries to her and feel the embrace of Her divine grace and love. This is a prayer of comfort and radiance.

A heavenly sky 💙

Happy to have a smidge of blue sky now and again (and dare I say sunshine?!). You certainly get it when you can in Scotland!

Clouds and pine trees

There were lots of fast moving, bright, lovely clouds today.
