Home sweet Home

Morgana's bedroom was getting a bit dusty/messy/untidy, so when she went out last weekend I made a few changes, cleaned and decluttered! When she came back she loved it...now all she wants to do is spend more time there in her room and she is making a 'winter den' for her cuddly toys because soon is time for them to hybernate!
This is the time of the year when it starts to feel nice to have more time at home and , yes the house last night was smelling so sweet...that is because I had a chocolate lattice tart, crostata di nutella, baking in the oven with its buon profumo!

At hte moment all her fluffy cuddly toys are on the sofa in the lounge, is making the space looking like a kindergarten, but we don't mind as the children when they come feel very much relaxed and at home and start playing...it is a sort of playroom. I like that as I have never really liked the bedroom as a playroom: bedrooms should really be just a relaxing place and mainly for sleeping...

I like our little nature table, this is what it looks like at the moment but it gradually changes depending on what we find during our walks. the trick is not to put too much on it to start with! It's easy to over do it...I think I did!

The wind is blowing, blowing and blowing,

the wind is blowing listen to it now

The leaves are falling,falling and falling,

the leaves are falling on to the ground

Mother earth is calling, all the creatures listening

Mother Earth is calling, listen to her sound

listen to her sound

Time for Conqers

Conqer fights! get ready!

In Greenwich Park last week looking for conqers, chestnuts, mushrooms and leaves

There was once a low tree with a couple of low branches- as the tree was kind of falling- and that was wonderful for all the children who lived near it or the children who went passed it on the way home from school...Now they cut it down.
We are very sad. Morgana here was posing balancing on one of the two low branches...

Echinacea flower: I took this photo in the gardens of the Horniman museum in  Forest Hill. This is a must this season! With colds, flu bugs, at the very first symptoms, runny nose, sore throat, cough, take 15 drops of mother tincture. It's available in all chemists and health food shops. I have taken some already and bought a new bottle to see me through the colder season...
