Our lovely forager ###

What a beautiful day! It's feeling spring-like: perfect for enjoying this green sorrel tart.

This tart is special.

Not only does it use wild sorrel leaves (you can use cultivated ones if you prefer), but it tastes divine. A combination of tart, sweet and with a whiff of the fresh green goodness of spring!

shared earlier in the week (on my last post) how the oxalates (which aren't good for us in large amounts) in sorrel are reduced with cooking.

That means more emphasis on the vitamins A and C from this plant, and justifying more than one slice.

I can't wait to make this, this weekend.

Oh, AND news of my next book goes live on Monday! I probably shouldn't share that yet, but I'm really, really excited. Till monday...

Seasonal eats rocks, loved reading recollections on this, this morning too.

Here's to a good weekend. X

Cherish, Jaz and I held a N3 Planning meeting today at our retreat location in Lamorna. It’s such a fabulous space and even has a yoga studio and a Neolithic Fogu in the grounds. Sooooo excited!!!

Building on the success of our lockdown ‘mostly on-line’ retreat in April 2021….

We are delighted to say that our first IRL residential retreat in March 2022 is SOLD OUT! 🥳

We will share some photos of it so you can get a feel of the ‘uniqueness’ of an N3 retreat. ✨Nurture yourself in nature with a hefty dollop of fun, inspiration and magic✨

We are looking at dates for our next retreats in 2022. We are thinking Mid May and the first week of November. 12 people max, 4 night stay near Land’s End.

⭐️ If you would like to be the first to know about dates, details and prices please reply below or by messenger and we will ensure you get the info first before it is released more widely⭐️

A wonderful ‘side-effect’ of sea swimming is total wonder and pride in how my body looks after me. She is fabulous, does her best despite being unappreciated and down- right criticised for decades. I’m so proud of me- wobbles and all ❤️❤️❤️

Choose your environment carefully!
I’ve been in London this weekend and was really worried I’d feel like a fish/mermaid out of water.
In fact I’ve searched for and found so much beauty in the city spending time with friends xx

My happy place where I go for a nature fix. Battery Rocks in Penzance. Where’s yours? Woodlands/window box/allotment/garden/hills/river…..what floats your boat? X

The lungs. The present. I think this is so powerful…….

my brain and
heart divorced

a decade ago

over who was
to blame about
how big of a mess
I have become

eventually,
they couldn't be
in the same room
with each other

now my head and heart
share custody of me

I stay with my brain
during the week

and my heart
gets me on weekends

they never speak to one another

- instead, they give me
the same note to pass
to each other every week

and their notes they
send to one another always
says the same thing:

"This is all your fault"

on Sundays
my heart complains
about how my
head has let me down
in the past

and on Wednesday
my head lists all
of the times my
heart has screwed
things up for me
in the future

they blame each
other for the
state of my life

there's been a lot
of yelling - and crying

so,

lately, I've been
spending a lot of
time with my gut

who serves as my
unofficial therapist

most nights, I sneak out of the
window in my ribcage

and slide down my spine
and collapse on my
gut's plush leather chair
that's always open for me

~ and I just sit sit sit sit
until the sun comes up

last evening,
my gut asked me
if I was having a hard
time being caught
between my heart
and my head

I nodded

I said I didn't know
if I could live with
either of them anymore

"my heart is always sad about
something that happened yesterday
while my head is always worried
about something that may happen tomorrow,"
I lamented

my gut squeezed my hand

"I just can't live with
my mistakes of the past
or my anxiety about the future,"
I sighed

my gut smiled and said:

"in that case,
you should
go stay with your
lungs for a while,"

I was confused
- the look on my face gave it away

"if you are exhausted about
your heart's obsession with
the fixed past and your mind's focus
on the uncertain future

your lungs are the perfect place for you

there is no yesterday in your lungs
there is no tomorrow there either

there is only now
there is only inhale
there is only exhale
there is only this moment

there is only breath

and in that breath
you can rest while your
heart and head work
their relationship out."

this morning,
while my brain
was busy reading
tea leaves

and while my
heart was staring
at old photographs

I packed a little
bag and walked
to the door of
my lungs

before I could even knock
she opened the door
with a smile and as
a gust of air embraced me
she said

"what took you so long?"

I want to age like sea glass.
Smoothed by tides,
but not broken.
I want my hard edges to soften.
I want to ride the waves
and go with the flow.
I want to catch a wave
and let it carry me
to where I belong.
I want to be picked up
and held gently by
those who delight in my
well earned patina and
appreciate the changes I went
through to achieve that beauty.
I want to enjoy the journey
and always remember that if
you give the ocean something
breakable it will turn it into
something beautiful.
I want to age like sea glass.
