May I recommend Inulin as seen in the BBC Sleep project featuring Michael Mosley. Golden Greens Inulin powder is advertised as being very good for the gut, but what MM found when he tried it was that it enabled him to sleep - he too was an insomniac. I can attest that it does help and so does OH

A very peaceful scene of a perfectly still body of water at dawn. The scene is a study of pale salmon-pink and grey and the misty sun is reflected in the grey water

Today is Candlemas- which must be the best name in the calendar.
Candlemas - a celebration of the return of light

Butter by Azako Yuzuki. The more I progress through the book the more it grips me

Too wild today to work outside so I've been sorting out seeds - such a delightful job. Most are for us, to grow plants for the nursery. The surplus will go on ...drumroll...our new online shop which should be live on 1st Feb :-)

Happy Imbolc! This old Celtic festival marks the start of spring, the beginning of the lambing season, and may have been dedicated to a goddess called Brigit, later St Brigid - the first female saint in Irish literature.

I am so so sorry. I canโ€™t imagine how you feel. I have no words of comfort but send great and deep sympathy for your loss. ๐ŸŒป

Oh no I didnโ€™t hear that she had gone. Iโ€™ve missed that. Poor Gary. What Heather went through was terrible - she was so brave. Sending deepest sympathy to Gary. I bought this picture - the wren was my Mumโ€™s favourite - havenโ€™t framed it yet so itโ€™s still in its cellophane cover.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. Itโ€™s not intellectually superior. Itโ€™s the virus theyโ€™re trying to infect us with. NO

Watching the delightful Mary Berry programme but I canโ€™t detect what oil she keeps using. It sounds like samphire but nothing comes up on Google. Anyone know please?

I keep combing my lists on the other place trying to find whoโ€™s over here so I can follow them. Itโ€™s a long job - maybe thereโ€™s a quicker way but I donโ€™t know it. Need a cuppa! โ˜•๏ธ

Good morning - very snowy here in Cheshire, think itโ€™s turning to rain. Awful for. Trying to get anywhere. I agree on hibernation
