Stocking Up and Pruning Hair

Cooking and magick in our house involve a lot of spices.  We love our food flavoured to the max with all the wonderful, healing herbs and spices given by Mother Earth.  My cupboard was beginning to get a little bare and after complaining to myself about the lack of components I finally went to the spice shop this week.

Where we live there are no ethnic food shops so we have to drive into either Southampton or Portsmouth to get our spices.  Supermarkets just charge a fortune for a lot less and the variety is limited.  So we took the kids to my favourite ethnic store (the range is huge plus they sell homemade samosas and bhajis which are to die for!!).

This is what we came back with:

And here’s a happy cupboard :-)

My sons went to the barbers on Friday.  My elder loves his hair being ‘just so’ but the younger one (left) just wanted it ‘messy’.  I’d had enough of messy so here are the before and after shots:

Much better, don’t you think?

And I’m a little concerned Daniel (right) is turning into Jedward from the X-Factor.  Spooky!

Valentine, Voodoo and Charms

2010 February 16

Since the beginning of the (calendar) year, things have been really hectic around here.  I’ve been very busy with work but also there seems to have been one sickness after another in the house.  First it was bad colds then I had a sore throat which was so painful I couldn’t eat (yes, it was that serious lol) and then there was the stomach sickness bug which, I’m happy to say, seems to have finally been banished.

So this weekend has been like a little slice of heaven.   The boys were off with their Dad for a long weekend so Paul and I (plus Tabitha) went away to Glastonbury to celebrate both our 6th wedding anniversay and Valentine’s day.

We booked a hotel for the night and had dinner in the restaurant.  The food was fantastic – the Italian hotel owner doubled as the chef!

Then it was off to Glastonbury.  I just love the shops there!

We came home with books (as usual) and Paul picked up a Tarot deck.  While we were there I picked out what I wanted for Valentine’s.  So Paul got me a Goddess scarf:

A Little Witch Voodoo doll (really, what else could a girl want for Valentine’s day??)

And a silver charm bracelet.  You can’t really see it too well because I was having trouble taking the photo of my wrist.  It never occured to me to take it off.  You can just make out a pentagram and a blurry Pan with his dangley bits exposed!

We finished off our weekend by eating far too many chocolates and homemade chocolate brownie :-)
