Spring 2017 // Spurred on by X marks the spot

Summer is still toying with us a little here in the UK. A week of flip flops and suncream is followed by gusts and woolly socks. Given that it’s June though, it’s probably safe to hail Spring goodbye and call it Summer. So, a look back on the last season:

Thinking of pulling up a seat, joining the conversation. It's been a while.
It's the first day of October and I'm wrapped up in wool, and chain drinking lemon and ginger tea. So it seemed only appropriate to say my farewell to summer over on the blog. A hark back to 30 degree heat, to a struggling garden, to a hummus-file Jordanian trip... A return to articles on climate grief, on how better kind of disposable coffee cup won't save us. And a film that is achingly sad in its message about transience, about beauty, and how seasons change.

I ... am not ready. Feeling banished from the garden before I realised what was happening. I want to embrace Autumn. But Summer, we never had the chance to say goodbye. 📷 @timothy.kendal - - - - - #seasonspoetry #embracingtheseasons #botanicalpickmeup #mynaturestory #urbanjunglebloggers #awakethelight #gowildlyandslow #untoldvisuals #thisautumnlife #anatural_autumn
"Throughout the last decade I’ve increasingly kept my wardrobe afloat with second-hand wares – jeans from a clothes swap, a top from a charity shop, a friend’s handed-on jumper. And in general, I’ve been able to find what I needed. There have been occasions though, when I’ve picked up something new. A pair of brown brogues, after a nine-month search for second-hand proved unfruitful. A brilliant yellow mac as a birthday gift. There has been a pragmatism in these choices. But I also discovered something unexpected: a joy in wearing something newly, beautifully made." More on the joy of owning and wearing a few, carefully chosen and constructed, well and ethically made, items - including this beautiful yellow skirt from @amberoot_way - over on the blog (link in profile). 📷 @timothy.kendal #gifted #papiermachethoughts #consciouscommunity #consciousconsumption #ethicalfashion #ethicalblogger #ecoblogger #ethicalconsumer #alifeofintention #seekthesimplicity #untoldvisuals #ecofriendlyfashion #ethicallymade #sustainablefashion #fashionrevolution
A stop, a sit, a sofa | a book, a glass, a song list | thoughtful after a few days that twisted unexpectedly | a search and find for resilience | a way to serve and say yes to offers of service | a stop, a thought, a breath. Time to seek, deep. #startwithwhy #theartofslowliving #livethelittlethings #flashesofdelight #makersgonnamake #handsandhustle #nothingisordinary #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #seasonspoetry #littlestoriesofmylife #seekthesimplicity #awakethelight #exploretocreate #untoldvisuals #aslowmoment
We are coastal people at heart. So our move inland was a wrench on our maritime souls. We spent the next eighteen months talking, dreaming and searching for the right vessel to get us out on the river. And we’ve done it. At last. So here they are: my seven steps to getting out on the water. 1. Pine for the water. 2. Look on Freecycle for two kayaks. Fail. Because there’s some great stuff on Freecycle, but no one’s giving away free kayaks (paddles included). Gardening magazines, spare fabric, the occasional chair. Not kayaks. Steps 3-7 over, and what it felt like when we finally were on the water, over on the blog... - - - - - #papiermachethoughts #ethicalblogger #ecoblogger #consciouscommunity #consciousliving #alifeofintention #gowildlyandslow #thewildnesstonic #embracingtheseasons #littlestoriesofmylife #thalassophile #lifeoutside #microadventure
