Forest life


 A quiet and lovely day.  Halloween last night .  I was driving driving driving in Wales where the night was black and mysterious.. A visit took me near the very beautiful Elan Valley and the forests ,rivers, mosses and lichens, filled my heart with untold excitement. One tree literally  dripped with Oakmoss an example of beautiful epiphyte..  Exploring all these plants in my head and readings.  Pondering on my project and before I start anything I feel, think  and absorb .  It was amazing to read that at one time the rainforests covered a fifth of  Britain's land mass. We are so lucky with our moist climate in places like Wales, the secret rainforests  and the cooler climates to enjoy epiphytes the density of mosses and lichens and diversity of this.  Im longing now to sit and compose some ideas yet not quite there yet ... soon. Anticipation is all.

 Oh my goodness how the years have past since I last posted! Moved to Oxfordshire and then returned here to be near family.I wish to simplify my life mainly  .  Moved from the mountains and have experienced many adventures . Now back and to Hay on Wye near the river  on the beautiful borders of Wales and England. I'm looking at my  perfumery from a different perspective.  Involved myself for quite a few weeks to placing plant oils etc into new  families .  What blew me away is how many have developed and aged so beautifully . I have lost very little.  They've  been stored very well and it's certainly paid off. 

So my plans?  Most in thought waves at present and progressing well.  I will update my logo and I am having some help to do that.  Colours and sizing to be confirmed ... I have ideas to action. Name will be changed slightly to incorporate my mood  I like the vibe  of what I have settled on.  New ideas to reach you , again in early stages and kept close to my heart at present probably for the  best .  Re-connecting..
