a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

a wander through my garden on Sunday

I found a delightful site called green thumb Sunday - I was going to join but had to put a blogroll on my sidebar and I am not fond of those so decided not to....however I can still show a little of my garden each Sunday when I can.....gives me something to do and something to write about if I have a block (HA!)

here are some photos taken just last week of my lavender ~ I have rows of it planted and at the moment this lavender is flowering like mad - can't remember if it is english or spanish. I also have lavender 'allardii' growing. Eventually I want to have as many kinds of lavender growing as I can.
I have a jar full of it beside my bed and it really helps me to sleep.

You have English pictured here. I had Spanish once upon a time and the flowers are much darker and the greenery much more woody. Pretty.

Nothing like lots of lavender flowering in the garden, I have a large bush down the alleyway at the beginning of the garden and I love to brush it as I step into the garden releasing all the lovely lavender fragrance.

I love and adore the scent of lavender...I bought some a while ago I am going to crush for use in sachets and such. I am not sure I can grow it here but I certainly want to try.
XOXO

Yup - English lavender. I don't find the Spanish is nearly as fragrant (plus has the funny shaped flower heads, without all the buds. But flag-like flowers). Mine has gotten huge in just a few years. I find it the most versatile of any herb I grow - I can use it in almost anything!
