I am happy to see my Lavender planter perking up again after blooming in June and then getting frazzled by the intense sun we experienced.  Lavender is actually part of the mint family and her healing properties stretch from an anti-inflammatory, and relaxation aid to a soothing balm for minor burns (when correctly distilled and without solvents)

The pollinators love her. ‘The Bumbles’ especially. She loves sun and is native to the Mediterranean regions, but is much loved everywhere for her colour, healing properties, and that very distinct scent and lure for her pollinators. Our own Queen Victoria actually insisted on lavender-based polish.  She also drank her tea infused with lavender, believing it aided her digestion.

If you are in this neck of the woods, The Lavender Fields in Alton are in full swing, where you can enjoy the beautiful fields and buy just about anything lavender.

Her spiritual symbolism is serenity, calmness, and purity.  

Well, I don’t know how calm we were last night in Chawton.  There is always a lot of laughter, especially with Steve.  Steve Lidgett Williams stood in last night as Pink Sarah was unwell.  Steve shared a very thoughtful address and then went on to bring our lovely messages.  Well done and thank you, Steve!!  We had a lovely evening, chaired by our gal Sarah Dorgan with readings and prayers from the family to lift the vibration with healing to follow, as always.

Carole turned out another cake that looked divine, and Sue had hospitality covered. Thank you, Julie, for our music, and all those who set up and break down each week.  

Prayer of the week

PLEASE PRAY FOR GAZA!!  Channels for aid are being opened.  They are desperate.  Please pray for supplies to get through and true Peace to come!!.

Savour the moment.  It’s just an experience.
