Stopped off the other day on way back from boat yard to hang out in my spot, lol! I love the feeling I get when I walk into the marina. I know I’m gonna love it here. The community is already so welcoming and supportive 🙏🏼🥰 #notlongnow #boatlife #views #myspace
All dressed up! Out with my beautiful girlies 😍 #beautiful #daughters #proudmum
Lily Pearl update : Ballast laid, first side complete, port holes cut! Taking shape nicely 😍 #boatbuild #widebeam #riverboat #boatlife #lilypearl
A little self care needed this morning... Yoga followed by restorative, supported Savasana and Meditation with a little help from some crystal allies. The natural world can support us in many ways when we learn to form a meaningful relationship with it. We don’t have to be alone even if there’s no people around. Crystals, flower and herb essences are wonderful allies to support our physical vessel on a daily basis. There’s a whole host of Spiritual support available to us when we reawaken our unfamiliar senses. I’ve just returned from a weekend coach camp with Robert Holden. He talks about the importance of the Daily Stop, (however you do it) and the vertical conversation. This is simply creating a space every day to realign with your Soul. To listen. To hear the Wisdom within and then act with Integrity. From the bottom to top: Dragon Stone - Strength Black Tourmaline - Boundaries Amethyst points - Wisdom Wavellite (I love this stuff) - Flow Natural Tibetan Citrine - Confidence Aquamarine - Expression Clear Andara - Clarity Golden Libyan Tektite - Sovereignty #selfcare #yoga #meditation #supportyourbody #mindbodyconnection #crystals #crystalallies #relationship #nature #dailyspiritualpractice #dailystop #wisdom #integrity
Look who snuck in and woke me up this morning! This is Dixie. She’s such a lovely girl. Enjoying my fluffy cuddles with this one😻xx #catsitting #fluffyalarmclock #cat #cuddles
This last two months of boat building is like the last two weeks of a first pregnancy, lol, when you know a new life is imminent, you have no idea what it’s gonna be like, you are excited and petrified at the same time, yet it can’t come quick enough! I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to having my own space again. Especially one where I can open the doors of my bedroom and step out to the view of a serene river, sit outside and write within the ever changing canvas of Nature. Where I can paddle board whenever I like. Where I can step off the boat and go for long walks. Where I can take my home exploring along our beautiful rivers and canals whenever I like. I allow myself to daydream for without imagination this inner dream could not become an outer reality, however, when I notice my mind yearning for a future moment or slipping into fears, as soon as I notice, I move my attention back here and start to take the little steps needed Now (even if that means stopping and resting) that are walking me into the vision of my future. If I’m really struggling I’ll call a friend to help navigate me back. None of us are walking this life alone as much as our mind might try to convince us otherwise. Wisdom is always waiting to guide us, just beyond the surface of our mind. The future will be here soon enough and I don’t want to miss any part of this unfolding adventure that is my life. That said, I’m so excited and enthusiastic for that future moment, lol! 😂🙏🏼💞 #boatbuild #riverboat #widebeam #patience #excitement #enthusiasm #liveyourdreams #lifeisanadventure #freespirit #bebrave #goforit #onestepatatime #wisdom #youareneveralone
Starting to collect some bespoke and reclaimed where possible, bits for Lily Pearl (my boat that’s being built if you are new to my posts!). I saw this headboard about two months ago. The reclaimers are near my hairdressers on Castle Rd in Bedford so I pop in whenever I’m in the area. At that time the boat build hadn’t begun but I fell in Love with it. I took a pic, sent it to friend, then forgot all about it. About a month ago, said friend, messaged me to ring them up and see if they’ve got it on the same day I had the same thought. Then I must have got distracted and forgot to call! Last week I visited the hairdressers and thought I’d go have a look, completely expecting such a beautiful piece to be gone. To my surprise and sheer delight it was still there! The guy in shop said, yeah it’s a funny thing, I’d covered it over for some reason and only took the sheet off it yesterday. Think my Angels must have been whispering in his ear, lol👼🏻😃. I said I wanted it providing it will fit in the boat as the side walls narrow beyond a certain point, so needed to check height. There’s so much to consider in a boat that doesn’t always immediately spring to mind. Today I’m designing the kitchen. Boat builder says yes, it will fit! 👏🏽 Very happy customer and how great to wake up in the morning with a beautiful reminder to Be Love 😍xx #reclaimedart #reclaimedwoodheadboard #woodcarving #love #belove #reminders #thankyou #angels #boat #boatbuild #boatlife
Lily Pearl update: Engine bearer, weed hatch and rubbing bands sorted! Rooms all sized up, porthole placements agreed. Boat handmade by Andy & Jez of AndiCraft Fabrications. Love these guys. They have been amazing in accommodating my EHS, SPD special needs! I met them on my friends boat when I ended up there because I couldn’t stay in the mobile home I’d bought due to EHS issues and now lovingly have the nickname, “Smart Meter!” They saw the state I ended up in so are very understanding. I’d been told by the Northamptonshire company there were no smart meters on site near my plot. I specifically said I would not buy if there were smart meters anywhere near me. As well as the whole site being smart metered, the main cable feeding the caravan was not buried in the earth and ran straight under my bed. Smart meter at head, electricity box at feet, fluorescent street lamp on all night outside window. Disaster! I became incoherent and pain in my body within 48 hours. EHS is a recognised disability in other countries. Sadly not here. I’ll blog more on this and the boat build soon. Lily Pearl May even get her own blog 😉 The boat is being designed to be as EHS, SPD friendly as possible, predominantly DC, shielded cables, no cables near the bed and flexibility to switch circuits off whilst sleeping. Can’t wait to have my own space again! On the home run (excuse the pun!) #lilypearl #boatbuild #boat #ehs #spd #boatlife #simpleliving #naturalrhythms
