What I did today: Green Magic

we often take a short break in Haworth in North Yorkshire. It has some amazing shops and I always find something interesting to buy.
Last year there was a wood carving shop (sadly no longer there).

I bought a carving of a Green Man and he now has his place watching over the stream that runs through our garden. I let nettles run a bit wild there and plan to make some nettle beer with them later in the summer. There is also lemon balm that has escaped its pot.

On our last trip to Haworth I bought a book on Green Magic. It has some interesting recipes for flower and berry cordials and I will definitely be experimenting with those.

So today I spent some time in the garden marvelling that, while we humans are currently at a standstill, the garden is growing and thriving with busy insects and a visiting hedgehog. I also think I’ve located the perfect spot for a beehive.

“The Golden Girls” is 35 years old! It is rapidly acquiring cult status thanks to Instagram accounts such as Golden Girls Daily. Sophia’s comfy cardies have never seemed more appropriate!
