I have been meaning to write this post for so long as I wanted to share the amazing 24 hours I had with other fabulous, escaping Mums on this wonderful retreat. Held in Cornwall, we had the run of this wonderful house at Prussia Cove.

Driving down the lane to the house this hedge reminded me of a secret doorway to a hidden place. The sea view makes it all the more perfect too.

Later on we did another excercise which was right up my street. CUTTING AND STICKING!! I love it! Making a collage of pictures you love is brilliant and theraputic too. The idea was to use pictures which jump out at you along the theme of "What nurtures you?".
Now, I feel I should explain mine, especially Will.I.Am. I'll start in the middle:
The eye of the tiger: we all have days where we have to keep going, keep your inner fight and put one foot in front of the other.
Will.I.Am - He is totally... DOPE! Ha! I love the way he describes things. He has a totally different perspective and I love that. He's a little bit "out there" and it's brilliant!
Standing on a horse: Look at things from a different perspective, you may be surprised by what you discover.
Love is all you need: because it is!
A tropical beach: I would love to trip off there anytime
A bed: Sleep is the most underrated, under achieved, priceless commodity we have yet we all try to manage without it. I love sleep and the more cushions and fluffy duvets the better!
Jordans Muesli - I just love it!
Live for Adventure - Take chances, Climb rocks, visit new places. Don't miss a thing
Desk - I would love my own little corner in our house so Im working on it.
Horses - I've always loved horses and am sad I never got to ride mine along the beach or go swimming
Cooking - I want to get a bit more adventurous and try new foods rather than sticking to what I know and love all the time.
Experience the Unexpected - exactly that!
My collage of things that nourish me |
My fav photo, due to the timing not watching her get soaked! |
I took a few other little pics of things that caught my eye while we out walking about. I have missed using my camera. I must make more of an effort to go and unearth it from the piles of yet unpacked boxes upstairs.
