Do you have a “happy place”?

Posted on

Do you have a "happy place"? . Mine is on the beach, riding the local riding stables pony Casper. . Being at one with a horse by the sea, with whom you have a rapport and a mutual trust is such a special and priviliged time. . It's easy to understand how interacting with a horse or a dog can help those with special needs, autism or mental health. . We all need metime and downtime from the stresses of everyday life and especially an escape from social media, being judged by others and mobile phone addiction. . When everything in life seems currently to be so turbulent, unsettled and uncertain, a short escape from day to day reality is revitalizing and reboots a positive mindset. . . .

Healthy homecooked Sunday brunch

Posted on

Healthy homecooked Sunday brunch. . . Scrambled local farmshop free range eggs, smoked salmon from the village fish shop, smashed avocado with red chillies that were home grown in my garden, peashoots, and artisan seeded sourdough bread from the local baker. . When you're by the seaside it's so much nicer to be able to shop locally for your ingredients, supporting the local community and village shops but also to know that the food you're buying is mostly locally produced and free range or organic.. . Sometimes the food we eat may look and taste delicious but add nothing positive to daily diet or our nutrition. These include simple carbs which are mostly foods that are beige ( ie: bread, biscuits, cakes, pastries, pasta). Processed foods. Hormone-fed meats. Battery-reared chickens and eggs. . . . . . . . .

With love from me to you. Happy Valentines day. . . Even if you don't have a Valentine or someone special in your life you can still have a wonderful day and have gratitude for everything you do have - your health, your family, your friends and all those little things that bring you happiness and joy in your life. . . Don't look at everyone else's Instafeeds wishing you have what they appear to have. You don't know what's really going on in their life. Their feed is not necessarily their reality. . . . . .

The quickest ever warming home-made curry recipe

Posted on

The quickest ever warming home-made curry recipe. . Whilst you're baking a salmon fillet (around 10mins), throw together a mix of frozen vegetables -cauliflower, peas, spinach into a pan and simmer them in a "Seeds of Change" all natural jar of curry sauce. Once the vegetables have cooked to be properly soft then add the cooked fish. . So quick and simple and healthy. . Spicy with a bit of a kick is always good for colds and flu. I added turmeric for extra anti-inflammatory healing properties. . . . . . .
