This weekend I finally made it down to the allotment. oh boy, does it ever look neglected. I need a strong man down there to tame the grass & weeds. :)
On the plus side, I did manage to get a small punnet of raspberries. The largest crop yet.
At our annual allotment meeting with the parish council this week, I have paid up for another year of what my husband calls 'slug farming'. I wish I could argue this one with him, but it is sadly accurate.
Time now to dream great plans, and be prepared for landing a little lower than the moon.
And in other news, I do now have a grownup phone with a camera. I just need to work out how to get photos from there to here!

Business Goddess Course
I want to be a business person. I want to bring my gifts out into the world in a joyous and adundant way to support me & my family. I would like to have an online business too. I am searching and exploring deep stuff at the moment. What do I want to do. How do I want to do it. y'a know that kind of stuff. And how do you download photos from iphoto onto blogger.
Leonie Dawson has set up a business around a seemingly impossible niche, and proved that you can make good money while still keeping your heart open and creating beauty in the world.
On one of her latest videos she revealed that she has only just got herself a dedicated office space. I kinda knew that she went to various places to do her blogging & videos etc, but I hadn't realised that was because she had no space! So she has built a 6 figure online business with the most basic of ingredients, upgrading as her business did.
It shows what is possible and I do find this girl an inspiration. She just gets on with it and doesn't moan about stuff, or make excuses. And she keeps turning up. Consistency seems to be the key that I keep misplacing. It seems to be my life lesson at the moment!
So, if you are looking for a business course, you could do alot worse than to join us on Leonie's Business Goddess Course. She really spills the beans about how she does what she does, in useful techie detail too. Conventional wisdom says 'don't train any potential competitors', but I love the vibe that Leonie and others embody of a deep belief in the beneficence of the universe to support all of us.
You can download the course here, or you can join the Goddess Circle (soooo recommended!) & work through the course with a supportive group of amazing women. You will also get all of the other courses and meditations she offers. I am not exaggerating when I say that the Goddess Circle has changed me for the better.
The next run of the Business course starts October 1st 2012. I will be co-leading it with two awesome goddesses! Join us!
Full Disclosure: I am also an affiliate of the Goddess Circle, as well as a circle guide for her there. So those links are affiliate, where Leonie will give me a wild donkey and a bag of carrots if you join. Maybe.

Do you come here often?
No I clearly don't do I. I think about it often, but don't get to show up.
Does any one else partake of imaginary blogging? I think up interesting posts, deep retrospection, hilarious commentary. But it never quite makes it on line. Sorry about that.
Tomorrow I am waiting in all day, as you do, for a delivery. This delivery is taking me into the 21st Century. Hopefully I am finally joining it. With a touch screen phone. Samsung galaxy ace, with camera. yay!
Who knows, once we get to know each other, I might be able to take pictures and blog 'em straight away. Not just imaginary. Wow. Imagine that! Really getting my thoughts out there.
Here's hoping. x

Educational soul searching & naked teachers
Another link for you to listen to a version of Goyte's 'Somebody I used to know'. I know, I still am a bit obsessed with this. I seem unable to listen to it just once. Always going back to it at least twice.
This is a very funny, intellegent parody, without jibing at the original. And it has a naked teacher. Enjoy!
This is particularly relevant to us at the moment, as we are having a big ole time of looking at the educational options for our kids. Again. This morning we went round a local high school which is a much closer option for our daughter than the one we are allocated. And we loved it. Which is not the path of least resistance & requires some work of applications etc. But worth gaining nearly an extra hour in her day from reduced travel.
This song really reflected for me my current thoughts/angst around how much I have used my education & what is the best type of education for each of my children. Made me laugh at it too!

Last gifts of Summer
As usual for this time of the year, I am lingering fingertip to fingertip to summer. I really try to soak up the last of the warmth, to keep me going through winter.
This week, my children went back to school on different days. Giving me a whole day with just my daughter. A rare and welcomed treat. And treat ourselves we did. An expensive but expansive trip to our local health food & gift store. Then, and I am embarrassed to admit that its our first trip this summer, we made it to the beach at long last.
Oh it was so heavenly. The beach we chose, while a bit further to get to, feels so secluded, even in a built up area. As we had no pushchair, went down the steep steps to access it. The dappled shade of the trees gave way to a glorious wide open vista of sea, and expanse of beach. All to ourselves, with the exception of one couple enjoying the rays. The sea was sparkling and glittering, and you could see the Needles on the Isle of Wight. So delightful. I felt my heart expand and release all the tension I didn't know I was carrying.
Later, when Bini had played in the sea, & I had read to her whilst she was making a sandcastle, we went back to the nearby castle. She wanted to visit it, so in my expansive mood I agreed to fund a visit. As if this day couldn't get any better, we get to the entrance & see that it is free today because some of the castle was closed off for a function! So we got to see an lovely textile & painting exhibition in some of the rooms & try on replica victorian clothes in the great hall. There was very few people there so we wandered around pretending to be mistress of the house & servant. I was the maid if you were wondering!
All in all, it was a gorgeous end of summer holidays day. Even Tintin wasn't too upset to have missed it as he had finally got to go fishing with his uncle on his last day of the holidays (he was been wanting to go for a couple of years). And he caught a fish for his tea.
