Greetings from a far… and sincere apologies for my radio silence.

Since my auction and auction shipping, I have been deep in admin. Mountains of logistics and paperwork but I feel like I am slowly coming out of it and have been able to start venturing back into my studio. We have had a hard, cold winter, by our standards and it’s been a very wet one. I never complain about rain, I am always grateful for every drop. However, it means I haven’t been able to be in my garden much and this greatly affects my mood. Every year we have a little reprieve and have what we call an Indian Summer in the middle of winter and it’s pure perfection. Everyone, including the plants get excited and think spring has sprung but I usually lasts a hot minute and winter is back on. My garden managed to dry out a bit and gave me some much needed gardening time.

Rain or shine, cold or warm, I have managed to keep walking. It’s very much part of my mindful practice and I find it very grounding. The more I can be in the forest and nature the more grateful I am for each day. I’ve also been doing heaps of yoga since my YTT200 hours repeat last November. I was part of a dedicated yoga practice for the month of June/July to help us get out of bed and up and moving in the cold wet days. It worked!!! It was a beautiful restorative month, a gift to the self whilst moving in a sweet community.

I’m so grateful for this beautiful gift of movement in my life and the gift of walking in this world.

I’m still working through all my unfinished clay works from a while back, also sneaking in some new pieces. But all in all it’s wonderful to be back in my studio. I am part of the Quirk Auction at the end of September and I have lots of work ahead of me but super excited to have something to work towards.
