Sunshine!

I hope everyone is having a pleasant bank holiday weekend so far!

Adam and I have been out in the sunshine on a nice walk into town along the river, it takes about 25 minutes from our door to the bridge at the edge of the city centre, which is not bad at all. It seemed like every rowing team in Oxford was out on the river plus a load of people in

thing like having a nice walk is there! we did that yesterday too :)

I need to grow some lemon grass, it works wonderfully with sage in a smudging stick :)

I have some sage growing too so i will have to give it a go if this lemon grass comes good! Do you have any recipies for smudging sticks that i can steal? ♥

[littlepinkfaery]

no recipees as such, when it is grown cut off a good handful.

I use the twigs as well as the leaves. I am not an expert but this is all what my friend told me :)

Don't let the leaves dry out as they will be too brittle to bind, tie them together when they are still soft and floppy (about 2 days after cutting).

gather them loosly together and rought bind with cotton top middle and bottom.

Wind cotton up and down the length, tucking the leaves in. It is important to have three central binds built up too ( top, middle, bottom) so as it burns it continues to be held together.

Lavendar, rosemary and lemon grass work well alongside the sage :)

I have some pineapple sage growing, I can't wait till I can try that!
