Above I share my garden and our allotment plot. We may not all have a garden in which to plant and sew seeds into the earth. But our thoughts and deeds are sowing the seeds for humanities growth into the future seasons from which we all will reap from.. So as we sit in our gardens or parks, may we each spread out that love as we allow our dreams to unfold into the kind of world we wish our future world to become.. So plant your seeds of intentions into the world, so our hearts unite in peace and in love. 💖
Plant you Dreams .. With LOVE…
Imagine a world of tomorrows with abundance of Peace Look beyond where all Fear will cease Think with your hearts and let’s dare to Dream And collect the ingredients, Can you picture the scene? ~~~ Let’s be optimistic, inspiring with flare Imagine Harmonious, Compassionate Care As together we Join let Love be your Theme And envisage a tomorrow where All dare to Dream ~~~ Lets Dream of Unity, a world free of war A place where no one suffers anymore Imagine the ingredients if we had to bake What sort of a world would you wish to make ~~~ Have you got the ingredients as love you spread out? Did you let go of prejudice and stop all your shout Did you let go of Anger and Bitterness bite Are you speaking your truth and sharing your Light? ~~~ What sort of Future do you wish to live? Are you willing to share are your willing to give? If we don’t dare Dream, then what will we then reap? We create our tomorrows Let Love Be Our Speak
Last week was a most memorable week, with flowers arriving and family gatherings, outings and meals out, along with many beautiful cards. I am so very lucky to have such a beautiful loving family and friends.. Thank you also each of you here on WP, for those special wishes last week..
The weather has turned milder here in England and the Sun has been shining over this May Bank Holiday weekend. Just perfect weather to get out in the garden.. And so I thought I would share my Garden Blog post of what is now growing on the allotments, and where I have been walking in amongst the Bluebells.. I wrote this particular poem below in 1994.. I hope you are all enjoying seeing the blooms, as the Blossoms are in full bloom right now.
MY GARDEN
I look around my garden What wonders do I see. Neat flowers in the borders All visited by the Bee.
The shrubs all gently swaying In the afternoon hot breeze. The birds sing out their warning As my cat stalks beneath the trees.
I’m so lucky to have a garden In which I find much peace. To sit and ponder life’s problems And wish all wars would cease.
We all think that we’re hard done to. Never satisfied with our lot. But I’m so thankful for my garden Lord, help me settle for what I’ve got.
Once upon a time there lived a little Caterpillar who lived among the cabbages and weeds. All day long he’d munch and chew, munch and chew, as bigger and bigger he grew.
Munching on the nasturtiums
And each day as he watches the birds high in the sky, he thinks how wonderful it would be to have Wings and fly, and live high up with the tree instead of munching low to the ground, beneath the Cabbages making no sound.
Then one day he had a fright, as birds did swoop and peck with beak, his cabbage leaf to shake his feet.
His friend was munching by his side when all of a sudden in big surprise, the one with Wings did grab him tight, and off she flew with him out of sight.
Caterpillars in abundance means butterflies for next year.
Oh how he wished he had wings!
He munched his way among the leaves getting wet and cold with breeze, until one day he’d ate his Fill, and thought to himself he’d catch a chill.
He saw the birds all flying south and wished once more with yawning mouth that he too had wings.
And so when days did grow too cold, he spun a blanket around him to hold him suspended from wind and hail, He chose a spot in a sheltered Vale, and as he snuggles down to sleep he dreamt of birds with wings so sleek
At last from slumber he awoke. as Sun rays did shine with heat to stroke, his back as he did stretch his legs and he pushed his way out of his Bed.
He’s hung suspended upon his thread, and waited until the sun shone on his head.
Butterfly in oils by Sue Dreamwalker
He stretched himself in all directions, and jumped with joy at his inspections, for no longer was he green and fat. but he’d grown Wings now Fancy that..
He flew with Joy and lots of pride no longer now did he have to hide. He flapped his wings and fluttered High with wings did swoop and dive.
No longer was his world so dim, for he was free to fly on whim.
He settled high on blossoms branch, oh how he loved his wings and danced.
Sadly I am seeing less and less caterpillars and BEEs this year… so less and less butterflies and less pollination. Remember if you are using pesticides, they do not just affect the pests.. They affect the Bee’s and the Butterflies… And YOU!.. The poem I wrote way back when, and the images are from my WP archive… The only pests we have on our allotment at the moment is blackfly on our runner beans and on my camomile plants.. I use a home made spray for these.. Here are 8 homemade recipes for Natural Homemade Sprays…
The photos below are photos taken in previous years.. So please remember too the Bees…. and all things small… So Save the BEEs and Butterflies and think before you Spray. Enjoy the Butterflies and Bees Below…

Hello again to those of you who bare with me through these times of shifts and changes. So much is happening within our world, both within a consciousness level, and within our own personal lives. In which so many lives have been tipped upside down within this Upside Down World.
We each have had to learn to navigate through these changes and shifting energies as best we can. And while the outer world is plunged within the fear, I have for the most part been able to ground myself within the growing season of planting and tending our large allotment plot. As well as connecting back within, to the things my heart is guiding me to, such as my painting and crafts.

Like any one who starts out creating a garden, you have to put in the hard heavy ground work… We have to dig and overturn the Earth. The soil needs to be fed nutrients. And we need to plan our crop rotation. So as not to take too much out of the soil, and learn what crops give back the nutrients into the earth.. We learn what crops grow in harmony together, and what plants to mingle within them, to offset damage due to aphids etc. And we mustn’t be afraid of getting our hands dirty, learning what to keep and what to discard, or that we get aches and pains within our bodies through all the efforts we put in. Gardening teaches us many things, and while we have many successes, we also can expect some disappointments. Not all gardening is a bed of roses. Such is Life
Navigating Life means we also have tend our inner garden, in preparing our Inner world. As we reconnect with our Hearts. As we strengthen our connections with those around us, as we use our discernment, our compassion and our awareness. Along with our love and our common-sense of reasoning via our internal compass using our in-built gifts of Intuition! We learn to separate from our Heads of our indoctrinated teachings, back into our Hearts, which connects us back to Source. This is always difficult because of our ingrained thought patterns, we have to be prepared to view life from alternative perspectives. As we learn to let go of our Ego minds to be right.
The world is going through some of its own heavy turmoil right now, as we Unearth the Truth of our Reality. People are digging and weeding out their own information, and having to learn to navigate and separate the disinformation from the truth….. The Wheat from the Chaff When you plant your seeds, be it of what ever variety, you have to be patient… You plant them in the dark, cover them with Earth, and you wait… If you neglect the seeds, and don’t water them, then they perish , if you over water them, that too can cause them to rot.. So learning Discernment is vital, for what we focus upon is what we create.
We need to tend to our thoughts right now, and weed out that which we do not wish to create, and only cultivate the thoughts we wish to manifest within our New Earth
Spring Onions, weeded through
Lettuce Kept under cover in the cold frame
Tomatoes and Cucumbers in the Allotment Green House
The world reflects back to us all the time what we are manifesting. And if our roots are not strong or we neglect to nurture ourselves, we become overwhelmed by the weeds within society which for the most part, not all, for some weeds are useful. But many can choke out and overtake that which is wholesome and good.
A good gardener knows patience. My fruit trees have taken several years to bare fruit. And this year I thought with all the blossom we would have a good crop of apples. But they are covered in leaf mildew, such has been the weather. You have to take the good with the bad. We grow organic, so we don’t use any chemicals. I mixed up a spray from natural ingredients. We wait and see if this has helped. Patience is at the core of any gardener. This year here in the UK we certainly have been pushed way beyond our Patience Barriers and people have had to adapt. And Humanity is going to have to adapt within these coming changes and shifts. For many as yet do not foresee the challenges yet to come. So we have to hold steady in the belief of our future New Earth and what we wish that to look like..
So we need to harness those visions of how we can change ourselves and the world for the better, not focusing on what is always wrong with it.. But pulling upon our strengths not our weaknesses, looking for new ways in which we can unify and heal, and work in cooperation with each other instead of competition. Just like when you plan your garden, you hold a vision of what the end process will look like… You see your crops delivering a good harvest.. You see your flowers and shrubs in full bloom, as you plan how your garden will look once it is mature.
The Busy Bee…Working to give us beauty and food, Without this little Bee, we would starve..
In the language of flowers, Iris flower also symbolizes passion, determination, and relentless hope to fight adversities.
Meditate with foxglove when you need a reminder of how glorious you are. Stand tall. Be proud. You are amazing!
Small steps along the road to calm.
The pond May look tangled and overgrown, But beneath is clear water which sustains its life.
Iris is a strong symbol of happiness, love, kindness, and respect too.
Welsh Poppy is for those who have lost their fire and inspiration and have become day-dreamers.. That’s ME!
A purple iris often signifies wisdom and compliment,
A quiet corner in full bloom.

And although your garden will hold many different varieties, of flowers, each plant is unique. Just as we are. You will learn what plants thrive in shade or direct sunlight. They care not what labels WE give them. All, if nurtured correctly should thrive, given their roots are firm in a well tended environment and they have enough light, water and nutrients, specific to their needs.. We have much to learn from our Gardens, and while many plants have many fancy Latin names, they all belong to the Mother Earth. As we Humans do, We All have our needs..
It matters not what labels we give ourselves or others.. We are ONE family, The Human Race. We need to understand the importance once again of being Grounded within Mother Earth instead of giving each other labels and pointing out our differences. For this is how we are kept separated. We have to find our commonalities. Rediscovering our communities, and our inner wisdom. When you look at nature, each and everything is unique. We now have a unique opportunity in which we all can grow through these bitter sweet times. As we grow from the Inside Out!
Within our world there is always going to be the Bitter and the Sweet!
Bitter to Sweet!
And when the world finally wakes, there are going to many bitter pills to swallow. In that we trusted those whom we thought had our best interests at heart. When the seeds so many tried to sow, to show the world the truth of their understanding, which was censored and thrown out, like weeds on the rubbish heap. So many are going to need our help.
We who hold within our being, the conscious Light of Knowing. For it is then the Lightworkers will be needed to heal, to bridge the wounds, as we connect with each other around the globe to unify in our common purpose of why we incarnated at this time in our Earth’s Evolution. We then will need to rely upon each other more than ever and learn new skills, not only in new ways of living in harmony within a community, as we adapt to the changes to come. But as we rediscover just who we are and our inner abilities which stand us apart as Human Beings. As we rediscover our connections back within Mother Nature.
The Seeds of Knowledge come to us in many ways, just like our jigsaw pieces making little sense on their own.. But when we plant nurture and tend them they grow and flourish.
We are all seeds….. Each of us upon our own journey each of us appearing as separate, and yet we are all of us linked together.
It is now time to gather together and spread out our own seeds of love compassion and understanding, and sow them and nurture them. For our Earth and our Brothers and Sisters around this Earth need to feel that love.. We really do now need to start and visualise and live from our hearts as to what type of world we want to live… It is as simple as learning to live from your Heart.
We are Many, Each a separate head, but each connected to the same Heart and Root. Which is LOVE.
The above poem was written in 2011, I thought it apt to include again here. Clouds over the last few days have let loose the rain, here in the UK, and we have had over two months worth of rain in a couple of days here in the UK, causing flooded roads and boggy fields. Many places around our globe are experiencing floods right now..
But the Universe thought to shine upon our pre-planned visit to one of the Royal Horticulture Societies Flower Show held at Chatsworth Housein Derbyshire. And the Sun shone for us.
I have been busy with some projects I have wanted to complete, Some are nearing the end, while others were stopped due to the weather. What ever you do in life, do so with an open heart and no expectations. Trust that is all is as it should be, and even when our climate seems as confused as we are, we need to trust in our hearts, as we send LOVE out into the world which is beginning to weep its own tears of conflict and confusion.
Know that LOVE far out-ways Fear.
So keep Loving thoughts at the forefront of your minds as we witness yet more chaotic times.
When our hearts open, it opens a portal, to the frequency of Mother Earth herself, have you ever wondered why Heart and eartH contain the same letters with the Letter H moved to the front? Think about that for a moment.. And ask yourself why it is we always feel better and brighter when we go out and connect back with nature, to walk in forests, or by water, be it oceans, lakes or streams. Is it because we are truly connected as one to Gaia, we who hold all the minerals and stardust within our make up, and we who are mainly made up of water, such as this Blue Planet of ours.
Our ancestors knew how to treat our Earth Mother, they gave thanks and rituals for her bounties and they saw each thing held its own spirit/energy and would ask permission before the hunt and give thanks and a blessing after offering in return a gift back to nature..
We just take nature for granted, taking and hardly every consider the consequences of our actions as we destroy forests pollute rivers and oceans, but this world is a Matrix of duality, it also follows natural Universal Laws, which means that every Action has an equal and opposite reaction. And the world right now is reaping some of what has been sown in the past.
I made my first ever video this week, its far from perfect, but I put together a string of photo’s I took on the day of my visit to the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show.
For those who are not aware of what we were up to in our own Allotment Plot before the rain set in can be found here on my Garden Blog
Arriving back from my vacation can often feel like a shock to the system, as we adjust back into the realm of being busy, as our days of relaxation are soon over.
Having had time away in beautiful Scotland, when I arrived home, the weather in England had been exceptionally warm, and therefore everything in the garden had bloomed, including the weeds. So, among our first tasks was to set too and water and weed and sow seeds that still needed to be sown and plant out things which had been in the cold-frame which were ready for the allotment.
This was what it was like when we left this piece at the end of April before my holiday.
Sometimes things have to take a backseat and it happened to be my blogs this time that were pending. So, apologies for those of you who still await my replies to your generous comments on my last post. I am hoping to get around to responding shortly to all, and have made a start.
This is how the weeds had grown in a couple of weeks, and the rest of the allotments were the same.
But sometimes we just have to follow the flow, and for the moment, I need to pour my attention into planting and sowing for the moment.
The older we get the more effort it takes and sometimes I am just too tired to do anything else other than stare into space and enjoy the solitude and quiet space as I empty my head which we all of us need after spending time hoeing and weeding between beetroot and parsnips seedling. So in the afternoons I have been meditating and sleeping, rejuvenating and going within the flow of Now.
This view looks down to the sheds and there is more of the plot behind the sheds, which gives you the scale of our plot.
Please know that I will get around to your comments and eventually your blogs, but for now I need to honour my body as I find all I want to do is sleep. So, I am Just going with the flow as I get caught up with what needs doing in our home and our allotments.
Fruit bushes now weeded between since this photo.
Have a beautiful weekend and remember. ENJOY THE NOW OF YOUR MOMENTS, for we take so very much our Now Moments for granted.
Love and Blessings and hope to be back to normal blogging very soon.
I know, some of you I am sure are wondering where I am as I have not dropped into many of my usual favourite places to leave a comment in recent weeks.. For this I apologise.
Priorities have been to concentrate on our Allotment Plot. And you can see what I have been up to and why I have been to tired often to blog. Instead I have put my feet up watching some excellent Tennis Matches on TV at Wimbledon this week as I am a huge Tennis fan..
I started my Gardening Blog as I post lots of photo’s and this blog is quickly filling its space and when I reblog then the pictures come here too.
So I hope you do not mind doing One More CLICK.. and if you are interested, seeing what I have been up to all week.
Know that you are all so very special and I thank you for the patience as I will get back into the Blogging Mood very soon.
“What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes, or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness! “
Helen Keller
Remember last Autumn when the old compost heap on the allotment looked like this?
Then Hubby got to work and started to dig. First digging the rectangle bed out which I was going to set flowers in and my apple trees in.
He then dug out the compost heap and levelled it using the old stone boarders from our front garden.
If I had wanted these nasturtiums to grow through the top of this broken old fire onion chimney they most likely wouldn’t have.. But just look at the transformation of the old compost heap.. You now see the new overflowing compost heap contained behind the abundant Squashes and Courgettes.
Well now it looks like this.
Some times you just have to let Nature do her Thing.
This is the flower bed to the left which you saw in the strip of earth in the top photo
