Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

First delosperma flower in my new succulent garden has opened. Love succulents so much! Looking forward to watching them grow.

The best sarnie I’ve ever made. Organic eggs, spicy, juicy garden salad leaves, homemade bread. Coupled with a sea view, and after a paddle, I was in heaven last night. 😍

Been baking my own bread for a while now. Learnt some things along the way, after a few frankenstein loaves. It was a good one today.

This early heatwave in England has meant that evening picnics on the beach and paddles in the shallows have become our new, lovely reality. Hooray!

The Isle of Man ferry sailing back to Heysham.

Love this.

A more normal looking English May day. North wind, grey clouds, fresh air. 💛

Hello lovely folks, what a whirlwind life can be! I do hope you’ve been enjoying some sunshine and spring flowers. It’s just soooo glorious here. We’ve been really lucky with the weather. I can’t get enough of my garden - there’s always something else to plant 😂 I’m really into swaying grasses, so I put in lots of different varieties here, including the giant pampas grass, do you know it!? They grow so huge!

I love the smell of the warm sand when I’m at the beach, it’s the best. Evocative of childhood, and finally reaching the seaside again after a long absence (I lived very far from it back then).

What are your favourite spring scents?

The blossom of loveliness. I was drawn to it like a moth to the light.

If you need a little support, have a listen to Unexpected Victories of Love.

It’s warming up and I’m here for it.

Happy Easter! Alleluia!

Expectant (there’s a bird feeder above).

Moody heavens on the way back from choir last night.

I couldn’t function without my sunglasses. These ones turn everything orange and it’s the best thing ever. 🧡

Early morning prom sunbathe. Yum.

Had the best cuddle session with this lil love muffin this afternoon. Held her like a baby and she melted into my arms. Yum. 😻
