Let's be friends

This morning, I attended a calligraphy workshop - what a revelation! Concentrating on forming the letters felt absorbing, very similar to the meditative process of stitching. Proof for me that there are many ways to reach that glorious sensation of 'flow'. . . A detail from my favourite room at Hardwick Hall, where all the estate documents were kept. . . #soulful #contemplation #meditation #prayerful #aquietplace #hardwickhall #meditativeprocess #calligraphy #flow #mymindfulyear #mindfulness #findingflow #restful #saturdaymorning #nationaltrust

How's your August? I'm still working on the workshop (keep nagging). Also, because you know the domino effect, I have revamped (hacked about at) the Spellbook and started teaching myself Scrivener (love it!)...and been to Bath, and Derbyshire...so to be truthful, there's not been much progress on the stitching. I'm beginning to feel that old plate-spinning sensation. . . A moment of calm at the top of the field this morning...x . . #fieldscape #liminalspace #liminal #countryside #countrywalks #amomentofcalm #littlestoryofmylife #fieldnotes #field #englishcountryside #summerwalks #edgelands #creativehappylife #amwriting

A fabulous afternoon today, cycling along the Brampton Valley path, with a detour to Brixworth Anglo Saxon church (see stories). Definitely good to get outdoors to lift a flat mood...x . . #countryside #englishcountryside #mymindfulyear #capturing_britain #sundayfun #thewildernesstonic #getoutside #ruralgallery #relaxandenjoy #naturenotes #nature_magic #inspiredbynature #gentle #fieldscape
Ever have days when you just can't seem to make any progress? All your paths feel blocked? That's me today...Oh well, what was it Scarlett said... . . (Rather marvellous gates at Dunrobin Castle in case you're wondering). . . #moodybynature #saturdayafternoon #notgettingmuchdone #blocked #frustrated #freshstart #gateway #gates #ironmongery #visitscotland #dunrobin #scottishgardens #capturing_britain
Sunrise and a cobweb...a really big one, can you see it? I wonder how long it took to spin...x . . Taken yesterday morning. Today we're off on a pilgrimage to Hardwick Hall so I can pay homage to one of my favourite women, Bess of Hardwick...not only a builder of grand houses, but an embroiderer too! . . #woodlandwalk #woodland #cobweb #magicalplace #magicalwoods #morninglight #awakethelight #nature_magic #sunrise #sunlightandshadows #forestlovers #forest_masters #capturequiet #thewildernesstonic #naturetherapy
