It’s not all been vets and impossible lists of things to do.
There have been many happy days in Lamorna.
So many sunny days too – living in a place where you can’t rely on the weather it feels like a gift every day when you wake to blue sky and sunshine and birdsong.

Building an inipi for a sweat lodge that we did on the night of the Spring equinox. From outside it looks small but when covered with rugs and blankets (and dog towels as we ran out of stuff to use) it transformed into a magical cave with plenty of room inside for up to 8 people. But in the end there were the two of us.

The bonfire that heated up the stones to put inside the inipi.

A daytime bonfire.
 Clearing an alleyway of light through the trees I planted over ten years ago. It’s so therapeutic to burn a big mountain of brambles and twigs. The bigger branches were cut up and stored for firewood.

In the midst of so many unanswered questions it has been wonderful to be outside, cutting and chopping the wood and brambles and after a few hours of work – seeing a result.
It really begins to look and feel like a wood.
