Sun and rain has enabled wonderful growth.
The rocket stove has allowed me free tea all day…just a few twigs to boil the water.
The Potager beds are filled with plants and new growth, as the seaweed is watered in by the Atlantic rains.
Last year’s Blackcurrants are being emptied from the freezer to make this year’s wine.
The race is on to use the remaining harvest from last year as the summer promises yet more abundance.
The brilliance of this sunset beckoned me out to capture it in photograph and share it with you!
There is a mist descending on the mountain.
The bats are beginning their night patrol.
The day is almost over.
The sun is setting in the west.
It is 10pm.
Bealtaine Cottage is also on YouTube…with over 100 videos about Permaculture, planting, growing and living.
Thank you for supporting this blog
I am convinced that you have a monopoly on “heaven” in your little corner of the world! So peaceful and beautiful. I live in the city…while the right choice for me right now…I do miss the elements that you enjoy on a daily basis. Thank you for sharing! bj

Hi Collette,
You are clearly living a beautiful life, that many of us yearn for too. How did you get started and break free from the chains of modern living? What helped you to face the fear of taking bold new steps?
It is so hard to pursue a healthy, balanced, sustainable, caring lifestyle and continue to pay the mortgage and raise kids, surrounded by business as usual. I am struggling to see a future where I will have the time and space to sit and enjoy such beauty and breath it in. I love your posts and pictures which give me some hope and comfort.
Thanks
Judy
I was advised by all not to do it, 9 years ago, but I had an epiphany where I realised life on this lovely planet was all too short and mediocrity flourished all around me…that and a bullying employer! I now am financially impoverished but in my life and spirit am a billionaire!
Gorgeous photos. I always appreciate your pictures and your thoughts. thank you.
Thanks Roger…bless you X

anois go bhfuil muid voyaged léir ar an mbealach siar, i luí na gréine agus ina dhiaidh, Tír Na nÓg tar éis bogadh níos faide fós thar an bhfarraige.
Always in search of the Land of Youth…I love it!
Beautiful as always
It was an amazing sunset!
