She came slowly toward me—closer and closer—
until she reached my feet and lifted her head above the surface to look directly at me.

Only then did I realise she had just three fins.

There was something in that moment…
gentle, vulnerable, and quietly powerful.

🌊
May your Bank Holiday hold a moment of stillness,
and something quietly unexpected.

Three Fins, Still Whole

There are places that seem to hold us differently.

Greetings dear Ones 🙏💚🙏

This afternoon I returned to the sea at Hartland Quay—
a quiet cove, wide sky, and the steady rhythm of water meeting rock.

A simple swim…
fresh, clear, and deeply grounding.

With the Full Moon in Scorpio and the turning of Beltane,
there’s a sense of movement—of release and renewal.

The water invites a soft letting go.
The fire, perhaps, a gentle rekindling from within.

Sometimes it’s enough just to step in,
to feel the body meet the elements again,
and to remember something ancient and steady within us.

Wishing you a gentle Beltane and Full Moon blessings.

With love,
Alexandra & the Gongs xx

On my way home today, in the estate yard at Dunster Castle, I met two tiny fox cubs. 💚

Only three weeks old, they had been found in the Dunster River Gardens, having most likely emerged from their den looking for food, with no sign of their mother.

Nicky was collecting them and taking them to Littlest Wildlife Hotel - North DevonThe Littlest Wildlife Hotel near South Molton, where they’ll be cared for quietly until autumn, and then returned to the wild.

I was allowed the briefest moment to stroke them—after that, no more human contact, so they can remain truly wild.

What a privilege. 🙏

It stayed with me… how much of life is really about this. Not taming, not controlling, but loving, and remembering how to return. Trusting the deeper intelligence that already knows the way home.

There is something sacred in that.

And perhaps in us, too. 💚

Dear One, 💚 New Moon blessings to you ✨

The sacred Apple Tree is now home to these prayer flags.
Made, written and hung with quiet intention… each one carrying a simple prayer into the air — for peace, healing, trust, gratitude, and joy.

As the New Moon energies settle, there is a sense of stillness here…
of something listening, something already in motion beneath the surface.

If you feel the call to rest into that space,
to be held in sound and silence…

I’ll be holding space this weekend at Bossington Chapel
🌿 Friday evening
🌿 Sunday midday

🐕 Our dear Aloka knows exactly how to appreciate a beautiful day. He is looking so serene, tilting his head up to soak in the warmth of the sun and enjoy the fresh air.

He is also looking quite lovely in his new blue bandana! It is a truly heartwarming sight that reminds us to appreciate the simple blessings around us.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏
