September 2026 Blossoming

Hello dear friends,

Since I last wrote work has continued on the decking and access ramps around our new home, and our collection of plants in pots is flourishing despite the drought - and helped by some rain over the past few days. We have experienced an almost total eclipse of the sun, and that same week I had to call 999 for an ambulance twice for my husband., made even more 'interesting' by the car breaking down (on eclipse night) on the way to pick him up from the hospital. Thankfully things seem to be settling down now.


The dappled sunlight through the trees created a beautiful effect, and we took a quick glimpse through our eclipse glasses.

 

Reflections: Blossoming

Even though September heralds Autumn here in Cornwall, there are still many blossoms in my garden, despite the ravages of the fire, plus the drought that has affected so much of the UK and Europe. Over the last few days we've had quite a bit of rain and even the plants in pots are looking much happier.

May 2026

Hello dear friends,

I would love to be able to tell you that we have completely dealt with the effects of the fire, but sadly it looks as if it will be many more months. However, I am sure you have heard more than enough of my troubles - and even if not, I find myself bored with thinking about all that....

I will celebrate the continuing regrowth of our big tree fern, from this...



To this:

..

By an interesting coincidence, last time I sat down to write here, on 27th March, the clearance team had begun work - today, 29th April, they are back to complete the work over the next day or two - removing all the burnt remains of our life together and the mobile home that we lived in from 1991 up to the fire on 18th January this year. We are still awaiting even an interim payment from the insurance company - which is disgraceful. We now have a friend who has experience in the industry helping which takes some of the stress out of the process and they may take more notice of someone who is not so emotionally involved as we are.

Season's greetings to you however you are celebrating at this time of year. Thank you for being with me throughout 2025, and I hope you will choose to journey with me over the next twelve months.

Gift service: still time to order
If you are looking for gift ideas, and you are in the UK, there is still time to order cards, books or art work direct from me. I can gift wrap and send direct to the person you wish to receive the gift, with a note from you. Or if you are seeing the person over Christmas I can send to you of course.



Each deck of cards (there are five to choose from) is £16, plus shipping, and there is a saving on postage cost for multiple purchases.

A big thank you
I would like to open this month's newsletter with a big thank you to everyone who read the 'special bulletin' I sent out recently to MailChimp subscribers. As I said there, I had planned to send that to tell you about the taster circles for the True Essence programme, but the dramatic events in my life that happened in a very short space of time made me reflect on true essence in a very direct and personal way.

Thank you to everyone who responded with personal emails, your thoughts and good wishes are very much appreciated. And, if it passed you by - that is fine too, it has been holiday time and we all see emails arriving into our in-boxes that with the best of intentions we never get around to reading.


Reflections: Aspiration

My first response on seeing Aspiration is to take a deep breath in..... and breathe out with a sigh of letting go. The colour as I see the card on my desk is a very deep, dark purple - although it appears blue to me here in this photo.
