Sunshine in Avalon.............

Dit is een blik vanaf de Tor. Wij reisden met 15 mensen naar Glastonbury waar voor een keer de zon scheen. Deze keer geen mist in Avalon........
This is what you see when you're up at the Tor, a beautiful view. We travelled to Glastonbury, 15 of us and there was no mist in Avalon but sunshine.........

De Tor............ik ben naar boven geklommen maar moet toegeven dat het me moeite gekost heeft. Gelukkig is alle pijn vergeten als je eenmaal boven bent op die prachtige plek met dat geweldige uitzicht. Climbing  up to the Tor was not easy for me (to be honest) but pain is forgotten once you're  up there.

                             
 Stonehenge............een magische plek. Rondlopend door deze oeroude stenen voelde ik de eeuwen, anders kan ik het niet uitdrukken. I had this dream about walking trough Stonehenge and now i did. I felt the ages..........

Woodhenge

Avebury..............hier werd ik helemaal betoverd door deze twee prachtige, oude bomen. The most wonderful two very old trees.........

en onderweg bezochten we nog White Horse waar kortgeleden een nieuwe cropcirkel ontstaan is.
Je zou bijna zeggen dat die week hiermee wel vol zat maar nee. Heel veel tijd hebben we besteed aan ceremonies, meditaties, gesprekken en.................heel veel lekker eten...... Some time ago there came a new cropcirkel near the White Horse.......amazing....... And if you think it was all culture, lots of it but also ceremonies, meditations and delicious food.....

My tiny garden...................

Because i love my tiny garden so much...............

those old white walls............

the roses

and Venus.....always there with me, since 8 years now.

Sunshine and stitching................

The coat and the cat.............

A few minutes ago i finished the stitching on this coat. It has taken all my time for the last few weeks. I cannot show a better picture because this is very secret, my beautiful friend who lives in London will weare it at her initiation as Priestess of Avalon this summer. So i can only show it afterwards.....August......
Now after finishing the stitching i'm gonna use (with a pincet) a lot of time pulling out a mass of Venusses white hairs. She loves textile as much as i do, especially felted wool, and i could'nt keep her from helping me.............................
But before i go, let me tell you about all the beauties that made me happy those last weeks:

First: this wonderful silkyarn Glennis send me. She must have heard my scream of joy all the way over the ocean.

Second: the illustrated guide of flora in the Netherlands, first printed 1899. A book i have been searching for years, found for 10,-- at a flea market for kings day.........It was his birthday and i got the presents. May he live long..................

Last: the bee Marion gave me because she knows how i love bees and what they mean to me.
This was like christmas in May..............so wonderful!
