where in the world is Bilbo: Gloucester

Bilbo with sunflower*What a busy week it has been (get comfy with a cuppa; this’ll be a long post!).  Bilbo arrived in Gloucester fresh from his stay at Bag End in Cumbria but feeling somewhat tired and achy from a bone shaking ride in the back of the post van.  As luck would have it I had an acupuncture appointment booked so Bilbo was able to have a little needling for his van-lag, eat some goji berries to boost his energy and have a chat with Dr Wang about the benefits of chinese herbs. MOSAIC - Bilbo at CMC

We left The Chinese Medical Centre feeling relaxed and recharged and headed for Gloucester Cathedral.  A fan of the Harry Potter films, and a bit of a history buff, Bilbo wanted to explore the corridors of Hogwarts and the Tomb of King Edward II.  I was keen to show him the trees and shrubs that were planted by this year’s artist in residence to attract birds into the garden of the cloisters (as part of a sound installation uniting the voices of the Cathedral choir with birdsong relayed from the garden, recordings of the dawn chorus from around the County and the nightingales from Highnam Woods).Bilbo at cathedral_cloisters*

Down at the allotment Bilbo displayed a knack for caterpillar spotting and we were glad of the extra hands for the continued runner bean and raspberry picking and the lifting of the potatoes.MOSAIC - caterpillars

Over the weekend the happy harvesting continued. Bilbo's harvest Sat*

Bilbo's harvest day 1*

It wasn’t all hard work.  Bilbo made some new friends and learnt the secrets of long life from my 92 year old nan.  And we visited our friends’ Dan and Ruth to see if the tomato plants I gave them were faring better than mine….MOSAIC - Bilbo at mum's

…hooray (deep sigh), phew, happy to say their toms are blight free and ripening beautifully.  Rory was pleased too but I think his smiles had more to do with the number of Bilbo’s raspberries he’d eaten!

Bilbo on toms + Rory 5

Bilbo and chuckiesMikey pretended not to mind saying farewell to Bilbo, Billy lavished kisses and Poppet was uncharacteristically quiet.

If you’d like Bilbo to come to your garden next leave a comment here (including where you are in the world) by Sunday evening  (see the rules of play below).  I’ll draw a name on Monday 14th September and will contact the successful blogger for postage details soon after.

(ps. if you think this was a long post you can click here to see how much longer it could have been – that’s if you’re not bored of Bilbo photos by now!  And the Dirt Princess has links to all Bilbo’s hosts since he left her Alabama garden in April)

RULES #1) COPY & PASTE these rules into your post on Bilbo if you receive him. The post must be titled WHERE IN THE WORLD IS BILBO: (your city).  If everyone copies the rules, then the person you send it to will know what to do.  If each post is titled the same, we can keep track of Bilbo and follow him on his adventure.  PLEASE do not forget to copy and paste these rules into your post if you receive Bilbo.  #2) In order to participate you MUST leave a comment on the post about Bilbo with the blogger that has him.  That blogger will draw names from the people who left comments on that post.  Once the winner is selected Bilbo will be on his way to see your garden.  #3) When you receive Bilbo please take a photo (or photos) of him in your garden as well as a photo of yourself with Bilbo.  #4) Rules are linked to http://northmobilegardensociety.blogspot.com/ .  Please leave a comment on The Dirt Princess’ page so she can keep track of him and let other bloggers know where Bilbo is, and post where bloggers can see his latest travel.  #5) Please try to get Bilbo out the door as quickly as you possibly can. If at all possible please try not to keep him more than 7 days. We want to get him to as many places as we can in 6 months.  #6) Bilbo will travel for 6 months, April 21, 2009- October 21, 2009.  If you have Bilbo at the end of this 6 month time frame, you will ship him back to the Dirt Princess at http://northmobilegardensociety.blogspot.com/.  #7) When Bilbo arrives back with the Dirt Princess, there will be a great post letting everyone know where Bilbo has been, when he visited as well as links to the bloggers posts that had Bilbo.  #8) There will be a list enclosed with Bilbo for each blogger to sign once they receive Bilbo. That list will be sent back to the Dirt Princess.  #9) Should anyone have any questions please contact Dirt Princess at http://northmobilegardensociety.blogspot.com/.  #10) The blogger that has possession of Bilbo is responsible for shipping him to the next blogger. Please handle him with care.  He is ceramic.  #11) Bilbo may be shipped to countries outside the United States. We want everyone to join in on the fun!  #12) If you would like to throw in a little something with Bilbo to ship the next blogger, please feel free.  Add to the excitement.  See what Bilbo brings you when he arrives at your door step

    What a wonderful, lively and humorous entry. You sure know how to bring a smile to peoples faces. Bilbo has had an excellent time with you and your friends. I especially like the photo of him watering the caterpillars, wash them wash them away….

    How much more spoiled can the ‘gold one’ get?!

    You have given Bilbo a wonderful time and I am sure he will be very sad to leave Gloucester.

    He probably needed a break from all that strong local ale which Matron and I have been tempting him with!

    That’s a fine harvest you got there missus, I reckon nearly a complete Harvest Festival {smile}

    thank you all for your kind compliments. Bilbo was chuffed to see that Matron, big Bilbo, April, Catherine and Ginger had come over to see him again and sends a big ‘hello’ back. From what I can see Darla really has been following Bilbo’s adventures from door to door so I think I shall turn one of my pumpkins into a carriage and send her to the ball. It’s your lucky day Darla – I can count the number of people who read my blog on 2 hands and on just 3 fingers those who have gardening blogs. Fortunately for you half of them have had Bilbo already and Mangocheeks, who would have been a fabulous host, is away this week. So I’m with Ginger on a democratic fix of the draw (well not really as you’re the only one and it’s evening here so I can close the entries) and will book him a flight to the sunshine state :o)

      be sure to let us know Becca if you do – we always welcome visitors at the plot (no traditional english tea there though only herbal brews). And doing a little sightseeing on your home turf is a good way of being reminded of how much there is to be thankful for ;o)

    What a great time Bilbo has had there with you. I would love to visit the Gloucester Cathedral. What beautiful, delicate architectural details.

    I really would love to visit Dr. Weng’s healing place. DH and I are just getting into Chinese herbs. We already take different herbs for our health and well-being, and these will add to our herbal healing stock of alternative remedies of dealing with our health..

    Thanks for a wonderful tour this morning.

      Gloucester Cathedral is a fabulous, awe inspiring place. And amazingly peaceful considering how spectacular it is (lovely people working there too).
      Dr Wang is a real blessing too and I swear by her herbal remedies and acupuncture as a first resort for all things illness related. And I’ve never felt healthier :o) In fact combined with the fresh air and digging at the plot I’m having a go at aging backwards!

    Hehe! That’s so lovely!!! If I had any kind of allotment I’d be clamouring to have him visit me here in Buckinghamshire.

    On my cooking forum we had a travelling spatula who went round the world several times, along with his diary. It was such a great little project and he ended up with all manner of costumes – a sombrero, a feather boa, a pair of glasses, etc.

I visited St Anthony's well again today. We were I visited St Anthony's well again today.  We were a smaller group than planned thanks to Covid, broken down cars and recovery from surgery.  Nevertheless it's kind of special that each visit is unique and we were blessed with beautiful sunshine.
.
Today we were a band of 3 (versus 8 for my birthday dio in Feb). It was as just me dipping with the company of my friend Sophie.  Lovely Suzanne drove and took her teeny chiuahua for a walk.  There were a couple of fallen trees from February's storm but it was as beautiful and tranquil as ever. 
.
My daily cold showers made getting in quickly much easier.  I stayed in for about 10 minutes as you can't really keep warm by swimming about.  I was ever grateful for my friend Kate's gloves and socks! 
.
ps.  That lovely hound is Ruby, the  dog of the dipper who was getting our just as we arrived.  I loved her story of a persistent problem with her shoulder that finally resolved when she came for a dip 10 days in a row.  The wonder of cold water therapy x

Our RELAX and ENERGY Aroma Showers have been tested using EEG measuring electrical signals in the brain which reveal our emotional state.

Have you heard of facial cupping? I hadn't either Have you heard of facial cupping?  I hadn't either until last summer I came across Sakina's page, The Facial Cupping Expert.  Sakina was just launching a professionally accredited course and I decided to order the cup set to try on myself before deciding if it was something I wanted to offer to my clients.
.
Fast forward to 2022 and I haven't got past week one with getting into a routine with my cups (crazy huh, when every day I see brilliant posts and before/after pictures from Sakina). It's simply a matter of adjusting my night time routine but Jan/Feb energy was low and it was another thing I didn't have head space or time for.  Or so I thought, ageing stops for no one! 
.
I reached out to Sakina to see if she'd be interested in having a chat about the cups and how they can be used for specific target areas.  I'd struggled to take a before picture and thought a before/after video might be a fun alternative.  I'm also much better with accountability when I say to someone else "I'm going to do this" than when just committing to myself!
.
So last week we had a chat and you can see it here on YouTube  https://youtu.be/5lOTMOdKaMs .  I've taken a before photo from the day after our interview and will catch up again in about a months time.  I hope to be surprised by the changes from such a simple adjustment to my skincare routine (I expect Sakina will not be!). 
.
To find out more about facial cupping visit @thefacialcuppingexpert .  If you're a therapist and you'd like details about the professional course let me know as Sakina is just setting up an affiliate scheme and it's a good way to test out whether people really do engage with info on IG!

Repost from @weledauk . "We are thrilled to announce that our beautiful Aroma Showers collection has won a prestigious RED Best of Beauty Award 2022 which highlights their “most wanted beauty buys from the past 12 months”.
 
Weleda’s Aroma Showers scooped the award for ‘Best Aromatherapy’ for their fabulous fragrance in the ‘Wellness that worked’ section, and they said: “We loved this cheering collection of mood-boosting body washes, all of which left us feeling better than before”.

My husband asked me when Mother's Day is earlier. My husband asked me when Mother's Day is earlier. "I've been seeing cards and posters everywhere for so long I thought I might have missed it". I assured him he hadn't and that I would have made my dissatisfaction clear if the day has passed without acknowledgement. (It took me so long to become a Mother that this day is the one event in the year that I embrace the Hallmark sentiments and expect a card). It has become all the more important to me since I no longer have my own Mum here to celebrate with. 
.
So for any partners out there wondering how to say "I appreciate everything you do for our children" or "we love you Mum" from the kids, here are some ideas for you.  There's something for every budget and I can put together gift bundles too. 
.
I also think as Mum's we should not be afraid of celebrating ourselves so if you feel like treating yourself to some downtime I also have gift vouchers available for Aromatherapy massage.

My friend, mentor and yoga teacher @amandajbucher My friend, mentor and yoga teacher @amandajbucher is offering a Spring Cleanse this week in the run up to the Spring Equinox on the 20th.  It's the kick up the bum I need to stop trying to juggle so much and claim some time for myself.  So I've planned in daily yoga, nature walks and rest alongside a conscious effort to nourish my body with simple cleansing foods.  For just a week dairy, grains, meat and fish are out and tonnes of veg and some fruits are in.  It will be a mental challenge getting organised but I'm sure I will feel better for it and enjoy journeying through the week with others under Amanda's gentle guidance. 
.
Here are some of the cleansing methods we'll be using alongside the alkalising diet:
.
💚 Starting the day with birch juice.  Birch has been used for centuries for  purification and is renowned for its powerful cleansing properties. Packed with flavanoids which encourage the body to flush out toxins, birch leaf extract helps to restore skin radiance from both inside and out.  Weleda have been making birch juice since 1924 to help support the body's natural healing process.
.
💚 Body brushing to help stimulate the lymphatic system.  Just a few minutes daily before your shower enlivens the skin, boosts the immune system and helps the body to clear toxins
.
💚 Showering with birxh scrub and massaging with birch cellulite oil.  For all the reasons birch juice is effective internally we apply birch oil externally.  Cellulite develops naturally – but that doesn’t mean you have to keep it! Extracts from organically grown young birch leaves, rosemary and butcher’s broom stimulate the skin’s metabolism. They’re blended with active carrier oils, including vitamin rich wheatgerm and moisturising jojoba.  Invigorating grapefruit and cypress oils for fragrance – everything in this oil is here for a purpose. And it works.
.
If you'd like to spring cleanse the natural way Weleda are offering their annual birch bundle to help you.  Save £13 on the total cost of the products (swipe right to see what you get for £49).

Have you tried the new Skin Food body lotion yet? Have you tried the new Skin Food body lotion yet?  This is what the Editor of JUNO magazine, Saffia Farr, had to say about it: 
.
"This is a fantastic body lotion. It's based on the classic Weleda Skin Food but is much thinner, so it applies easily across the skin and absorbs well. It's made with sweet orange and lavender and has the warm and vanillic notes of benzoin resin' so it still has the wonderful, unique citrus scent of Skin Food, which I really like. Even though it's thinner, it is still an intensive moisturiser and it has helped my skin through the winter."

I'm full of cautionary tales at the moment! After I'm full of cautionary tales at the moment!  After last week's food poisoning story, my example this week of putting knowledge into practice is with burns.  I'm sharing this not so much to sing the praises of the products I use but in the hope that you may never need to use them by not getting burned in the first place! 
.
I was having a lovely bath last night with candles lit in glass jars while reading my book.  After about an hour I was just thinking about getting out when I heard a pop and crack and a scorching hot piece of glass landed on me.  I shot up and it fell into the water and I realised one of the candle glasses was broken.  I hadn't noticed that the wax inside was pooling on one side so the heat from it was in direct contact with the glass.  It obviously got too hot for the glass to handle. 
.
I leapt into action to first cool the skin but it's not so easy to run your torso under a tap for 10 minutes like you would a hand!  So I got dressed and used a wrapped ice pack.  I applied lavender essential oil to the burn and took the homeopathic remedy Cantharis.  I went to bed with my ice pack and applied the lavender oil a couple more times in the night when I woke.  In the morning I applied combudoron ointment which is a blend of arnica and nettles to help with the sting and heat.  Today I've hardly noticed it - it's only sore if I touch it so I'm not!  I don't think it's going to blister and I'm happy the skin beneath is intact.  I'm supremely grateful it's a burn I'm dealing with and not a cut from flying glass. 
.
Have you heard of using lavender essential oil to treat burns?  It's one of only two essential oils you can apply to the skin neat (the other is tea tree) and it's where the art of aromatherapy is said to begin.  In 1910 a French chemist called Gattefosse was badly burned on his hands when a glass flask he was using exploded.  He saw miraculous healing of his burns, with no subsequent scarring, when he applied lavender oil.  He became even more resolved to continue his experiments extracting essential oils.  Thank goodness he did so that we have amazing knowledge of how plant oils can heal.

We've been married for 23 years and have never rea We've been married for 23 years and have never really gone in for celebrating Valentines Day.  We've always chosen time together over gifts. As we get older and couple time is more rare I completely love the unconditional love of small gestures.  Like running the bath for me and knowing what I like added to it.  Making me a cup of tea.  Getting me ice packs to relieve a migraine.  All love tokens that cost nothing but mean so much
. 
I know some people put a lot of care into coming up with new gift ideas each year which is beautiful.  For others buying something they know their partner already loves is the ultimate "I love you and I know you love this so I don't want you to run out". 
.
If I can help with any gift ideas do let me know.  I have beautiful Weleda oils and lotions in stock from our signature ranges of wild rose, pomegranate, seabuckthorn and citrus.  I have wellbeing vouchers for Aromatherapy treatments and can put together gift sets according to your budget with a mix of Weleda products and Tisserand or Amphora Aromatics aromatherapy gifts. 
.
ps. I know Valentines Day can be hard for people without someone to share it with, if that's what they'd like.  I'm sending you love and have samples I'm happy to gift you if you'd like to give yourself some love this week x

I'm planning dates for wellness circles in March a I'm planning dates for wellness circles in March and what better time than in National Feet Week. Would you like to join me?  If you've been before you're always welcome again - bring a friend this time 💚
.
I'd you've not been before, what can you expect? 
.
💚 a relaxing foot bath using Weleda's arnica muscle soak or soothing epsom salts
.
💚 a guided meditation while soaking feet
.
💚 TLC for feet using birch scrub and organic body washes followed by reflexology massage using organic body oils
.
💚 Soothing hard working dry areas on feet with cooling foot balm
.
Fancy it?  Gift yourself an hour (+30 mins to chat over a cuppa) and let me know which day you are free.  Sessions have worked best in the past straight from school run 9.30-11am so you still have the rest of the day.  An afternoon pre school run option is also available from 1.30-3pm if there is demand for it.  If enough people are interested I am willing to chill with you for the whole of National Feet Week (Mon 7th - Sat 12th March)!

I'm beginning to feel a bit more human after poiso I'm beginning to feel a bit more human after poisoning myself with way-past-it mushrooms yesterday!  I'm so grateful for my  natural remedies in times of need.  And especially thankful for this simple homeopathy guide when my head is too fuzzy from sickness to think straight! 
.
I was so sick yesterday and while nausea can make you really sensitive to smells, particularly food ones, I always find comfort in the fragrances I know and love.  So as I turned in for bed I still massaged a little wild rose oil into my neck and shoulders. My peppermint oil supported me through the drilling headache. And this morning's bath was accompanied by my Reiki incense.  Aromas are so evocative and soothing in times of need! 
.
What helps you when you're sick?
