September 2019

September proved to be warmer and sunnier than August giving us beautiful perfumes and colours and plenty of opportunity to be outside and in the water.

Little chick is growing up well and learning to take it easy,

learning the art of cleaning her feathers

and generally getting out and about more 
with her two mums

What to do on Earth Strike Day on 20th September ?

light a fire and cook lunch outside, no fossil fuels in sight

The Aultbea Men's Shed
 which only started up in December last year has won the runner up prize in the 
Men's Shed Association Award for 2019 !

Well done lads !!

Meet Finlay, at 15 weeks old he is the youngest member to join in the fun with us Ewe Wild Swimmers,
a super little chap already having weekly swimming lessons with his mum

September has been a wonderful month of celebrations, 


💗 swimming with friends to celebrate Jenny's birthday
 in Gairloch

💜 skinny dipping at sunrise

 to celebrate the autumn equinox on 23rd September

at Loch Maree

(the sun wasn't up yet to capture the moment and maybe that's just as well  !)

thank you Dorje for suggesting this idea, it was beautiful !



💚 the wedding of our young friend Joe 
to his lovely lady Lesley.

A memorable day and 
it was so good to see that our friends refuse to grow up !

and prefer to act their shoe size !

even when they're wearing their best outfits.

Thank you Joe and Lesley for inviting us to share in your magical moments.
💛💚💛💚💛💚💛




On our tour of Suffolk we found 💜Tina 
still wow-ing the folks of Southwold

💛Andries learning new skills on his visit from Belgium

💚remembering happy days with Mary and Gus

💜and our lovely Aubrey, 
still working on the farm 6 days a week, still combining 
at the young age of 85 !

and I met up with my loverly big bruvver !

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

💚and family💛

thank you all for a fabulous day !

and Wilma enjoyed it too.

Poem of the month




We Are One


We are where we are, here and now.
No "one" is to blame.
As one we have moved together
not looking to the future.
Too consumed by our desires,
too blinkered to see what we are leaving behind.

But now, we know !
Now we can see and hear and taste and feel
our Mother's pain.
No more excuses please !!

It's up to us, the you, the me,
to move as one again in harmony
To care for our Mother Earth.
There is no other place to go.

Be still, let go of wanting, wanting, wanting.
We have enough and more to share.
Our Mother made it so.

We are one.
We are one love.
We are one heart beating together.
