Winter snow, raw foods and crystals

-


This morning we took a trip to our favourite nature reserve.  Wrapped up warm, we had a lovely walk in the snow, watched the birds, saw a gorgeous wild rabbit hopping through the trees and took lots of photos.  
We loved this amazing insect home that the reserve had made.



And saw lots of beautiful birds.










Luke enjoyed playing with the snow and ice.




And I enjoyed playing with my camera.








A lovely way to spend the morning.



Last week I started my crystal healing course with Hibiscus Moon, and i'm absolutely loving it.  Her lessons are so informative, but fun as well.  I've been using crystals in my reiki treatments and I find it makes it even more special.  I've created my little sacred space to keep some of my crystals and i'm building up my collection.  Working with crystals is an amazing experience and I just love their energy.  

I've been doing a juice detox since new years day, and it's going really well.  I'm now having juices, with salads and raw soups.  This is the raw soup that I made yesterday, and the recipe.


8 Sundried Tomatoes, soaked until soft
1 Red Onion
1 Clove of Garlic
!/2 Red Pepper
Sprinkle of nutritional yeast flakes
Basil 
Oregano
Pinch of himalayan salt
Water

As I wanted a warm soup I used water that I had heated a little in the kettle so that it was nice and warm, but not boiling, and then blended it all.  Lovely on a cold, winter evening.

Beauty In The Lakes & Eating Raw In London

It's been a while since I posted an update as life has been so busy with lots of exciting things happening. At the end of September we spent 3 days in the Lake District for our friends wedding. It was a beautiful place and we had a really lovely time.  We stayed in a gorgeous little house which was part of a B&B in a little village near Ullswater.  On the first morning, the boys went outside to explore and found a deer in the field next to us. They spent ages watching it, whilst Luke also made friends with the B&B owners cat. Dylan managed to get a few photos which look amazing. He was so happy. The wedding was beautiful and the boys looked very handsome. We had a lovely time, ate lovely food, took a book ride around the Ullswater and met some lovely people. The evening ended with a lot of dancing which Luke particularly enjoyed. And of course, as I was surrounded by beautiful flowers, trees and lakes, I had to sneak ...

My Photography Project

I've had a week off work this week and time for a much needed rest. There's been so many amazing things happening this year and i'm feeling so grateful for everything. The only down side to this is that I don't always get the chance to follow my creative passions as much as i'd like. So this week has given me the chance to reconnect with my love of photography and i've decided it's time for a new creative project.  So many things have inspired me to do this. I've been reading some of my favourite photography books and a few days ago I watched one of my favourite films Yes Man. In this film Zooey Deschanels character goes out for a run at 6am every morning with a group of people and her camera, taking photos and getting exercise. I love this idea and i'm planning to create my own version of this. I want to spend more time outdoors with my camera. I have some good opportunities to take some lovely photos over the next few weeks with trip...

Creating My Raw Food Kitchen

-

Yesterday, I received a parcel with my new dehydrator and spiralizer, as well as soon other raw kitchen supplies. I've been wanting a dehydrator for well over a year, and finally decided that now is the right time.  I was very excited to say the least.  I went for a Stockli, which i've heard is really good, so i'm looking forwards to lots of creative time in the kitchen over the next few weeks. Today, Luke and I tried out the spiralizer, which was a bit more complicated than we expected, but we did get the hang of it eventually.  We made carrot and courgette spaghetti, and had that with salad, apple, cashew nuts and olives.  Tomorrow i'm hoping to make some raw crackers or kale chips  I'm looking forwards to experimenting and coming up with some new recipes. I've also been enjoying lots of juices, and this one was delicious - Orange, Carrot and Ginger. It's lovely first thing on a morning as it helps you to feel really ene...
