I am so called to picking some nettles and yet I have a real block around trust in myself to actually do it ‘right’!!! Would Iove to make tea with it and dry it though. Love these round ups they are so beautiful, thank you xx

That is so valid. On my foraging journey I have had to overcome the fear of being seen and judged, the fear of getting it wrong and making myself ill, loads of things! Holding you in this feeling and backing your intention to connect with Nettle. 🙏🌿 Let it come as slowly as it needs to, Nettle will be there when you are ready love xx

Yes I think the biggest one for me is getting ill and getting it wrong. But as you say I can take it slowly. xxx

This was so beautiful and so informative Jo, thank you. I love that you are reclaiming snacks by adorning them with flowers, a brilliant idea for a gorgeous glimmer amongst the many demands! xx

What a beautiful post, I do enjoyed reading it. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who does the annual search for the difference between swallows and swifts 😂

I love the idea of 'icing trees' - whitebeams are so beautiful. And thankyou for the bonus nettle cake the other day, a feast for the eyes and stomach!
