Fforest glow

If you are looking for a really relaxing weekend away, a bit of ‘slow living’ amongst like-minded creative women, look no further.

I first visisted fforest camp with my family in 2016 – we stayed for the week, and have been visiting every year since – and I’ve sneaked off a couple of times a year without the kids to the ‘GLOW’ retreat – search for #fforestglow on instagram, I’m just back from a long weekend in Cardigan, at the latest #fforestglow. The accomodation, food, and company are wonderful.

Ah, look at my happy little face! So proud am I to have made that soap dish for our ‘plastic free bathroom’.

So, as well as painting, sauna-ing, gin-tasting, making pots and wreaths, I made new friends too (tagged) – thank you Sian @coldatnight for pulling us all together at @fforest
{?book now for March 2019?} – and lovely Emily @emily__bd__ for the photos 🙂

Thanks too to the makers and shakers:
♥ I had a gong bath with @thetablehay (don’t ask – but it was amazing!)
♥ Pots with @judithrees4 (sorry @amandabanhamceramics, we still love you too)
♥ I made a natural wreath with @holly_bath and #strudlenoodlesanddumplings with inspiring cook @anjadunk (Ronnie and I are coming to see you in the New Year Anja!)
♥ Had a go at weaving with @nestandburrowuk – woolly magic, pictured below with me, in Mwnt, photo credit Polly at dynamicpictures.co.uk x
♥ Got my painting mojo back with @debbiegeorgeartist (I did!)

And yes, I did literally wore those dungarees all weekend (and um this week too… new favourite thing – and Laurie, the maker @awoodlandgathering, reminded me that today is the last day for you to order to have something made in time for Christmas – she even has a sweet discount code for you ♥ GREENFRIDAY18 ♥ ).
