Lily Pearl update: Worktops and tiles in kitchen, loving my Belfast sink and French farmhouse style taps. You can’t see it clearly in the pic but Andy and Jez had to carve half moons into the oak plinth so the taps wood fit. This is why I love these guys so much. They don’t say, “It doesn’t fit you can’t have it”... they stay open and curious and say, “How can we make this work?” There were some bathroom tiles left and they are so pretty. They suggested bringing them out in the hall as a feature so as not to waste them. On a boat, above the gunnels (the oak panelling) the walls start to arc, so you can’t put any artwork on the walls except on the bulkheads (partition walls) and space for pictures is limited. So the beautiful patterned floor tiles are a way to bring some colour and texture into the boat. We all think it works really well. The ceiling and gunnels are all done in the bedroom now too. I love the patterns in the woodgrain of my wardrobe. So close, haha! Hopefully just another two to three weeks and I’ll be in my new floating home. So excited! 🤩👏🏽xx #lilypearl #boatbuild #widebeam #boatbuilders #wheretheresawilltheresaway #andyandjezarethebest #andicraftfabrications #kitchen #tiles #colour #texture #floorart #boatlife #soon #excited

Poets doing their thing! This is just a handful of us that performed today. Had a lovely afternoon at Equata Festival Poet’ing for The Kezzabelle Connection under the most beautiful Hawthorn tree. Hawthorn is said to be protected by the Faery folk and it is the Fae who whisper in the ears of Poets, whether they are aware of it or not 😉🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏼‍♂️ #poet #poets #spokenword #equatafestival #share #words #inspire #hawthorn #faery #fae #kezzabelleconnection

Pictures are of Tuesdays trek to Brentor, where the Michael and Mary ley lines cross. Had a lovely Meditation in the church. It was very still, despite people coming in and out. One kid asked his Dad, “Are those people dead?” 😂 Loved the stained glass window of Archangel Michael. Very special and Sacred place with beautiful views. #brentor #leylines #dragonlines #michaelandmarylines #church #devon #nicewalk #sacredplace #meditation #contemplation

Friday’s adventures with the fluff monster...Very happy that Louie was excited to see me. For those that don’t know, I dog sat for Louie last year for a month and we became very good friends! We had a lovely time exploring in the woods. Louie loves exploring with his nose and I love exploring all the intricate patterns and textures of Nature’s creations. It’s easy in the woods to enter states of Awe and Reverence. To be the witness. To awaken to one’s unfamiliar senses and experience the Magick of connection with the elements. In the woods, the Stillness, that is always Present, is tangible and more easily recognised. I love to Meditate in the woods. With Louie I practiced eyes open Ascension Meditation. It’s a bit much to ask him to sit still for 20mins when there’s so many smells, sights and sounds to explore! My Ascension eyes open practice helps me to Appreciate what’s happening Now and remain in a state of Grace. When I realise I’m in my head and not being Present, I gently introduce one of the Ascension Attitudes to bring me back to this moment. The Nature of the Attitudes encourages states of Praise, Gratitude, Love and Compassion, which I personally find far preferable to the nonsense that often arises in my mind! Sundara and Chandrama, two local teachers here in Buckfastleigh, are running an Ascension course in October at the Jellyfish Arts Hub. I thoroughly recommend getting down here for the weekend. It’s the most beautiful place to explore and a great place to learn eyes closed and eyes open Meditation. See https://www.thebrightpath.com/course/first-sphere-weekend-united-kingdom-buckfastleigh-devon for more info. If you’ve invested in the course already, remember you can re sit for free (forever) and enjoy many wonderful weekends of practicing Meditation and exploring Consciousness with likeminded folk whilst gaining encouragement and guidance from expert teachers. #dognap #dogwalk #novascotiaducktollingretriever #woods #connection #nature #ascension #eyesopen #ascensionmeditation #thebrightpath #meditationcourse #praise #gratitude #love #compassion #buckfastleigh #devon #rajitaishaya

Mum found this pic of me and her when I was born. I love it so much. I can feel the love emanating from her when I look at it. We had an interesting relationship whilst I was growing up. Two Leo’s haha! One loud and roaring, the other a shy pussycat, both determined in their own ways. She was 70 yesterday and I feel very Blessed to have her as my Mother. Every day she inspires me with her Courage, Inner Strength and youthful outlook on life. She has been such a rock for me these last couple of years. I honestly don’t think I would have got through them without her unconditional Love and support. I love how Mum talks about the “old people”, some of which are only a few years older than her. She mentioned to someone recently that she had a big birthday coming up... He thought she gonna be 50! She is a perfect example that age is not a number... it’s a state of mind. Mum puts her youthfulness down to her daily practices. She Meditates, practices a little Yoga every day and is mindful about what she puts in her body. I hope I’m as youthful and vibrant as my Mum when I reach 70! Love you Mum 🥰xx #meandmum #throwback #unconditionallove #motherslove #happybirthdaymum #blessed #youthfulness #attitudeoverage #youngatheart #yoga #meditation #thankyoumum #lovemymum

Yesterday we got to witness our Shamanic teacher doing his thing to clear the energy of some land. It’s a very beautiful and Sacred thing to witness the communion between Man and Nature. It was one of those misty Magickal days where the the veil between the worlds is thin and an eeriness floats in the air, heightening ones senses to the unseen. We were very Grateful for Nunky the dog who guided us back through the mists and fields of bracken. We enjoyed tramping through luminous woodland to find a very interesting pond (with hole in it!) that was blossoming with lilys’ and narrowly missed standing on a very interesting yellow and black spider that had been weaving a most intricate and beautiful web. I (not surprisingly🧚🏻‍♀️) loved the Faery hut, complete with resident Unicorn, that is apparently used for wedding ceremonies. Blessing this most beautiful and very much Loved land in its Peace, Abundance, Abundant Wildlife and Beauty. May all here, human, plant and beast, thrive and live in Harmony. Blessed Be 🌻 #blessings #blessingtheland #prayers #energywork #spaceclearing #magickal #mystical #mists #spider #lilys #pond #faeriehut #unicorn #lifeissacred

Visiting a friend in Worcester on the way back down to Devon. She took me to meet her favourite Oak tree and then to this beautiful display of wild flowers. It was great to hear it humming with Bees 🐝 I’m always enchanted by flowers. They transport me into a state Appreciation for the sheer beauty of them and their multitude of colours, shapes and textures. Natures art is truly wonderful! 🌸🌼🌺 #walk #getoutside #freshair #wildflowers #beauty #nature #bees #gratitude #appreciation #simplepleasures #naturesart

Popped over to one of my fave Meditation spots on way back from marina yesterday, in Castle Ashby. A very big leaping fish nearly frit the life out of me, lol! Other than that I very much enjoy the stillness of the place, the mirror effect of the water and it’s so beautiful to experience it at this time of year in full blossom. 🌳🌳🌳 #meditation #meditationspot #meditateoutside #calm #peace #stillness #maintenance #ascension #ascensionmeditation #meditationmonk #meditationteacher #thebrightpath #thebrightpathishayas #rajitaishaya

Lily Pearl : Kitchen Update - All the kitchen units have now arrived. Yesterday we spent a little time refining their placement and deciding how we are gonna do the breakfast bar. I’m loving the “blue green” paint and looking forward to seeing it with worktops on... which you’ve probably guessed will be Oak! Today the kitchen tiles get layed. I’m so looking forward to having my own kitchen again and to have a beautiful space to entertain my friends and family. I love to cook, although these days I am veering towards a predominantly raw diet. I’ve always wanted to have a go at making raw chocolate 😋However in the winter I shall most definitely be firing up the log burner and cooking up some hearty, warming root veg stews and beany casseroles🍠🥕🥔🥦 #bespoke #boatbuild #widebeam #boatlife #kitchen #bluegreen #tinyhouse #wellunderway #comingalongnicely #takingshape #loveit #lilypearl
