Off to Dorset for a week this saturday - ready for a break, even if it is raining!

Can't sleep - eldest daughter out clubbing in Nottingham - guess I have to get used to it as she is going to Uni there in a few weeks time - but, she's still my baby!!!!!!!!!!!

Blackberry vinegar soaked and ready to boil - flu beware! Crumble was popular.......

Had neices staying for a week - busy, busy! Today we have been blackberry picking and made blackberry and apple crumble. I have a bowl soaking in cider vinegar ready for making blackberry vinegar - better than tamiflu any day!

Pavitra Holistic Therapies

Hi,

Totally new to this - having been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of blogs (much to my teenage daughter's disgust as I should live in a cupboard and only emerge when she needs feeding -or money of course!)

In short, I am a Nurse turned Complementary Therapist, living and working in the village of Overseal near Swadlincote in South Derbyshire - in the Heart of the National Forest. I have worked in the village surgery for the past 17 years, and been very aware of the impact that stress has on our mental and physical health - and the unique role that complementary therapies have in stress management. I am passionate about the clinical, therapeutic use of essential oils and the "healing arts" in general. http://www.pavitraholistics.com

I am also an Baby Massage and Baby Yoga Instructor - http://cuddlesnchuckles.com

I am married with two children, a Jack russell, a hamster, two goldfish, a friendly pheasant and a garden full of bird feeders and hedgehog boxes (and weeds)!
