A day for me! Foraging courses.

It’s mother’s day and in the past my husbands normally had to work this day.

The past 23 years he’s worked weekends.

Now this year we are all home together.

As fate would have, I saw advertised a day of learning. At a local self-sufficient Eco farm entitled foraging for Wild foods.

Normally I wouldn’t bother to try to go to something like this as there wouldn’t be anyone to look after my son.

But today there is hubby’s home, its mother’s day and for the first time on this special day. I am able to do something beneficial for me.

Saying that it’s will be a good skill to past on to my hubby and son aswell.

I’ve always been interested in the human body and medical things.

I’ve looked into aromatherapy to a degree and know the basics.

Not a fab subject but when my vercouis viens were bad and giving me some pain.

I looked up alterative medicines.

Witch hazels and some drops of cypress oil applied on the area were talked about.

I gave it ago for a few weeks.

The result was fab, yes I’ve still unsightly viens but that me! More pleasing is the fact that they have stopped swelling and aching.

I couldn’t believe that 2 different oils witch Hazel and cypress oil both from trees had helped me so much.

I started trusting more and more in natural medicine and foods.

Hence why I wanted to do this fabulous day of foraging to look deeper into wild foods and also medical qualities of plants.

It was a great day.
