WHISPERINGS OF AUTUMN

I had always had this special feeling for Autumn, something about the smell in the air and the colour changing in mountains and forest. ... 

But it is since I have been living in the UK that this feeling has changed and become a real passion for Autumn its colours and everything related to it.
One of my favourite things to do is to go for walks in nature and take lots of photos while I keep taking deep breaths in my intention to savour that deep smell. I could really say that if I close my eyes and let my imagination to run wild and free, this autumnal fragrance could take me to worlds full of magic and fairies, pixies. ...
I love the colour of the light in this season and I always take lots of photos trying to capture it.

Autumn comes whispering with dancing branches and old songs, reminding us that nothing stays forever and that no matter where you are in your life, things will always change.
So as the trees allow the winds with no resistance to shake their branches making all the leaves to fall, we have to be willing to let go of the old knowing, as the trees know with no doubt, that new beginnings will arise in the horizon. No matter how good we think a situation can be, if is no longer meant to be in our life we have to let it go, trusting that as the trees will have new green leaves next Spring, we will have new opportunities to live.



But for us this Autumn wasn't all about letting go. ..
The last October the 20th we welcomed new life into this world in the form of six healthy puppies that our dog Iona brought to life.

This was the first puppy to arrive, a healthy female 💗

It is really amazing and emotional being in the presence of the birth of new life, no matter if human or other species. .. being in that very first moment of a life entering this reality it is for me, the most spiritual experience ☆





We ended up with three beautiful females - which curiously are the three black ones -
and three beautiful boys.



Six beautiful and healthy puppies.

So three weeks have already gone since they were born and although I know we cannot keep them all. .. I know I am gonna struggle a lot when the day for them to go arrives 😢
We will make sure that they go with people that loves and look after them as good as we do but still ..... I love them all as they are all different and nice in their own way. .. ( sigh )

They are so adorable. .. 😍


Do you have any pet?

Hope that Autumn is treating you well and you are enjoying the coziness of this season.

See you all very soon!

AUTUMN EQUINOX/MABON. ..

What means Autumn for you and which is the impact of it in your life?
For me Autumn or Mabon time it is a blessing, is the chance to slow down and take a deep breath.
Do a balance of the past few months, evaluate a bit how did I plant my seeds in Spring and how the harvest of Summer went. ..

It makes me realise how lucky I am because I have a path to walk, people to walk it with. .. all the love I have in my life. ... the good health and the choices I can always make to improve it when isn't that good. ..
family with everything that that entails. .. even the not so good moments. ..
This time of year always brings quite of a melancholy but the kind that makes you feel good.

But besides all the inner work and awareness of everything in my life and the symbolism of Autumn in my journey. ... Autumn is a lot more than that. ..

Autumn is. ..
Mid morning or afternoon walks in the woods or forest enjoying the colour palette that this season brings.
The cooler breeze on your face. .. I just really love it 😊

We love getting out in nature as much as we can always, even when is really cold.
As  homeschool parents, nature with the different seasons brings a lot of stuff for our girl to learn and she (at the moment) loves being out and ask lots of questions to daddy- who loves to patiently answer all of them- .
And she loves to learn things about the trees, animals. .. and how everything works.
Nature is the perfect environment for me and my little tribe, there is not a better
place for us to be 💚

If one word would have to define Autumn, in my personal opinion that would be cozyness.
Days getting shorter, air getting crispier, hot cups of coffee/tea with good company, Sunday afternoon old movies or a good book with a very good story. ..
I do like cozy stuff, and old movies, books. .. good stories. .. and very good company. .. late night conversations. ..

Yes, I open my arms, my heart and my soul to this season and I tune in with everything about it 🍁💓

Happy Autumn/Mabon to everyone

FIRST SIGNS OF AUTUMN

Evening walks 

Old buildings full of history, beauty and life.

I love heather 💗

Nothing like the moors to give you a wider perspective
of everything.

Have you noticed that Autumn is just around the corner?

Although I love all the seasons and what they bring into my days, my moods, my feelings, my meditations. ... but there is something about Autumn that makes me feel very good.

It's a mix of a nostalgic feelings on one side with a cozy and homey touch very nourishing and comfortable.

I love to observe Nature and its rhythms and I always try to apply them into my life.
Autumn brings you the opportunity of letting things go, as the trees let their leaves go in a smooth and calm flow, the more introspective mood that this season brings with the cooler and shorter days can help you to be more ready for practicing some meditation to see and feel what your soul has got to show you.

How do you feel with this new season that's about to start?
Are you ready for it or you are still reluctant to let Summer days go?

Let me know if you feel like it please, it's always a pleasure seeing you around this little place of mine 😊

Blessings to you all ☆
Love&Light ૐ

Back in England

Hi to everyone there!! Hope you all are doing well.
I am back in England and although I know I still need to do a post about Ireland, I still need to sort some photos out. So, I am gonna dedicate this post to our return to England and our enjoyable walks with Andy, Ilianna and Iona our lovely dog.

What happened with Ireland? Well despite that I did love it, I couldn't connect totally with the place as to me see myself living there, so at the minute we are back in England, where the Autumn is still quite alive, so today morning we did enjoy of a bit of a walk  and even though, the weather wasn't totally bright it was lovely enough. And I did put my little camera in my pocket as I knew I could take some nice photos today.

And the walk begins...

The yellows..

and behind the yellow, some blue...

Now with mama..

and some deep greens..

some reds from the berries.. 

love these yellow leaves..

can you see the canal?

I just find this photo so lovely

and time to go back.

It has certainly been a nice walk, not hard just easy walking for Ilianna's little legs.

Are you enjoying outdoor walks??

Oh and yesterday I bought the last issue of Simply Crochet, lovely and very Christmassy.

Although I am not working at any Christmas crochet project, it has make me think about do something, so...we'll see...

Hope you all are enjoying the weekend, whatever you are doing and wherever you are.
