New Growth

I thought I’d share another gallery of the flowers blooming around the garden and village with you today. The daffodils, tulips and fruit tree blossom of previous weeks are now all gone and we move on to lots of purple and pink flowers. We have alliums, aqualegia, clematis, irises and – newly opened over the last few days – the first of the roses. Our garden is full of rose bushes so there are likely to be many more galleries of them over the coming months! I also spotted the first poppies when I was out walking so I took a couple of snaps of them too. There are pictures of several other flowers as well, though I don’t know the names of all of them.

Most of the pictures were taken on my phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S4) as I’m currently having trouble with the sensors on my proper camera. I really need to send it off for repairs. (If anyone knows of a reliable company in the UK for this, please let me know!)

I hope you like them.

Is this the perfect way to spend an afternoon? Sitting in the sun, a book on my kindle, a mug of tea close to hand, and a cat on my knee. You can't tell from the picture, but my feet are bare and planted in the grass: I am earthed. . . . . . #earthing #grounding #gardenwitch #cat #fluffycat #mrgeoffreycat #catlovers #catsofinstagram #witchescat #familiar #kindlereader #earthwitch #pagan #paganism #pagansofinstagram #animism #naturelover #nature #outdoorpeople #readoutside

I finally cut back the self-seeded Common Mallow plant in my little garden. I wasn't about to let it go to waste, though. It's now hung up to dry. . . . . . #mallow #mallowflower #flowers #flowerharvest #herbalism #plantsthatheal #healingnature #hedgewitch #greenwitch #earthwitch #plantspirit #natureconnection #natureismytherapy #natureforsoul #getoutside #earthmagick #plantmagick #pagan #paganism #pagansofinstagram #animism #naturelover #nature
The stream flows under the road and off towards North Scarle. This is the same little stream that I like to sit beside further back along its course. It's nice to encounter it at a different stage of its existence. . . . . . #stream #streamside #countryside #lincolnshire #earthmagick #earthwitch #greenwitch #hedgewitch #pagan #paganism #pagansofinstagram #animism #animist #druid #druidry #backlanes
Crystals! . . I haven't really done much with these in recent years, they've mostly just sat in the dish looking pretty. A few of them were used instead of plain stones in an insect bath last year, but other than that, and the occasional cleansing, they've barely even been looked at. That is, until I decided to gift a few to a friend. Over the past week I've reacquainted myself with each of them. A lump of hematite has even made it's way into my Crone bag after I found myself still holding it an hour after the rest were back in the bowl. I hadn't even realised it was in my hand. I'm obviously in need of its grounding ability at the moment! Looking ahead, I'm determined not to neglect my crystals and to instead embrace the positive effects they can have on my life. . . . . . #crystals #crystalmagick #crystalwitch #crystallover #ilovecrystals #witch #witchythings #pagan #paganism #pagansofinstagram #hippylife #folkmagick #crystalhealing #healyourself

The rockery bowls were in need of a little tlc. They'd been placed in a corner and then rarely given any attention at all - and it was starting to show. Grass was sprouting and lots of straggly roots were hanging over the edges of the bowls. Well, they're now looking much less neglected and have pride of place on the garden table. . . . . . #succulents #succulentsofinstagram #succulentlover #rockeryplants #rockery #garden #gardening #gardenplants #girlgardener #earthwitch #greenwitch #greenfingers #gardenwitch #getoutside #naturelover #nature
