Lovely post Roz, and I too enjoyed the Radio 4 interview this morning.

Imbolc Stirring Under the Snow
Today - searching for the hidden seed! Imbolc - Brigid's Day. Celtic Goddess whose attributes include guardianship of the threshold ('step over, step in - and welcome!') and the hearth, patronage of the arts (especially poetry) and healing (and what a natural association they both have). Heral...
Definitely with you on being grateful for modern sanitation!
Our house is not old, 1950s built, and I think the greatest reminders of previous residents is in the landscaping of the garden, the pond they created and the shrubs and trees they planted. Not so easy to live with is the often “quirky” and confusing plumbing and wiring systems created as a result of several extensions before our time.

A Month in the Country 29 - Layers of Life at Autumn Cottage
Just a few recent finds from the garden here at Autumn Cottage - but this time not of the horticultural kind - but discarded artefacts from previous lives that have inhabited this place. Even though they are only 'chips and fragments', each one has passed through other hands, been used here to...
Lovely post, Roz. Summertime smells are very evocative for me too. So many to chose from - but I still love picking sweetpeas and having little vases of them indoors filling rooms with their scent.

A Month in the Country 1 - The Essence of Summer
It's August - so once again I return to 'A Month in the Country' as I have done in past years - a daily picture, a paragraph and a prompt. I hope my wanderings around the cottage and further afield will inspire you to capture and reflect upon your own summertime days - whether they are 'in the ...
Hi Roz, lovely post. And I’m glad you have been treating yourself “sensibly”! Cx

When The Beast met Emma
Frozen times down at the pond...Brrr! After the combination visit of 'The Beast from the East'* and 'Storm Emma'** there is a thaw setting in - for which I am glad. I have disliked the bitter cold (-7C and a freezing wind-chill taking the 'felt' temperature down to -11 here), but I have also ...
If we judged ourselves by what we've not achieved there would be no hope for any of us!! Just amazing to see how life goes on inspite of everything. Lovely post, especially the photos of those brave bulbs promising spring. Cilla x

The Start of the Snipping - 2018
Pots of daffs on their way to their springtime showplace Like all my gardening friends, I have been desperate to get out in the garden again after the slothfulness of the Christmas holiday - and I have managed to do so on a couple of occasions this week. So here, my friends, after last week's l...
Lovely pictures of the garden help us see the beautify in the rain. Thank you Roz. It is sometimes hard to feel cheerful in the gloom, but joy is different and can be found with a bit of attention. I can vouch for Satya's 31 days of joy, I subscribed to it some time ago, and received a month of inspirational emails. Cilla x

Autumn Cottage on a Wet Wednesday - Choosing Joy!
They call it synchronicity, don't they? those extraordinary coincidences that sometimes happen so often that they become almost ordinary, but still give one pause (and a reason to muse that - perhaps - nothing is accidental). And so it happened this morning; while pondering what to write about...
What a grey day it looks, but a wonderful sense of continuity.
3000 years of history, puts all the upheavals we are facing into context!
Glad you felt re-energised. Cilla

Root and Branch, Rock and Pot
It's been quite a week for parts of the Western World, hasn't it? and not one I have relished. Polarised opinions, anger and anxiety and that feeling - as I look into the future - of wondering what exactly will happen next? When the pressures of the world weigh heavily on my shoulders, I tur...
Well you've found time to write a blog post, pay attention to changes in the garden, and to make soup. You've noticed the wonderful colours, taken photos and shared them with us. Shame we can't taste the soup, but I doesn't seem like a wasted day to me, Roz!
I sometimes have a go at writing "have done" lists rather than "to do" lists. That way I can at least make time to reflect on all the little things I have done but which I frequently underestimate. Being thankful that I was able to get up, dress myself and make my own breakfast this morning for example!
Better to plant five bulbs and enjoy it, than kill yourself planting five bags! Cilla x 😊

Once Again - Time is Flying!
Sumach suckers, leaves about to fall... Already December is nearly upon us, while I am still getting used to the fact that it is no longer July! I've just walked across our drive (over to the compost bins where many worms are making light work of breaking down all the waste from the kitchen th...
Beautiful Hidcote! And glad you have been enjoying your staycation,Roz. Nothing like your own bed in my opinion! Cilla

Life in Leaps and Bounds - and a 'Stay-cation'
2016 leaps and bounds forward - after a wet spring, we have had some beautiful summer days during the last couple of months. My health has not been 100%, (nothing serious) so what energy I have had has been spent in making further progress in the garden, and in working on development of the th...
Beautiful pots, and a lovely post. Just what I needed on a grey afternoon. Hope you soon recover after the "proddings" and can enjoy the (promised) sun. Cilla x

Pots of Inspiration
The First of June - already - though outside the clouds are grey and the wind is rising. O, our British weather!! We are warned of winds of 60 miles an hour this evening - but also given the promise of rising temperatures and the arrival of 'proper' summer by the end of the week. Something to ...
I love the way items of clothing can jog memories. And a mixture of happy and sad ones here. Glad you could celebrate your Dad's memory,and see his braces in a new incarnation.

What's in a Name? So Many Memories...
Clearing the winter leaf blanket as the daffodils shoot up We both chuckled when Alec came in yesterday morning, togged up for a spot of gardening. He has lost weight recently, so thought a little assistance would be useful in the holding up of his gardening trews. He had found a pair of broc...
Lovely post, and full of hope. Love the fragrant honeysuckle... Cilla

Again the Wheel Turns
Winter aconite Imbolc…Candlemas…The Great Fire Festival…Brigid's Day…St Brigid's Day Different traditions marking the never ending turning of the year; each following the other down the centuries. Blending, splicing, appropriating, sharing inclinations to acknowledge, with relief, the eviden...

The Heart of the Home
At this time of the year, in the depths of winter, the focus of the home at Autumn Cottage is the kitchen and the Stanley stove. Theoretically just a prosaic contraption for heating the house and providing cooking facilities, when the wind is biting outside and the thermometer falls, 'Stan' i...
Another very interesting post - lots to follow up and think about as always...Cilla

To Be A Pilgrim
I have been intrigued by the concept of Pilgrimage for many years; though it is normally thought of as a journey made by those with religious belief to a site of religious power, the concept can, I think, also be applied to anyone making a journey - physically, emotionally or intellectually, b...
