Preparing to leave...

I cannot stay on social media. (refer to my last post for more info as to what has happened).

It is a world that is becoming more and more invasive as the months pass, filled with more and more AI c**p and I simply cannot be part of the machine that is training up bots to do what ever it is they want to to.

The thing is, by staying on here and clicking 'accept' towards Meta AI, I am casting a vote towards a world of AI and technology that I disagree with so deeply. It is less about the potential of seeing my face as an AI bot or my words used in ways not from me but more about the fact that I do not agree with the current technological 'advancement' so I cannot be part training up AI bots that I do not wish to exist in the first place.

It is sad. To have to clear my profiles, built over 7+ years, in just over a weeks time just so that these pesky little bots don't get in and aboot all my stuff and things. But I feel like it has to be done to save myself from going fully against what I believe in.

As a result, I will be moving into a newsletter format. I have a newsletter which I use very infrequently at the moment and I will post the link often over this next week so that you have a chance to sign up to it. It will just be musings, fermentation nuggets, new product announcements etc etc. I will also be spending some time updating my website and may even try to get into making some blogs from time to time.

A place that is safe to share some thoughts, which sadly Meta based platforms simply are not.

Ah what a lovely arrival back from holiday.

To find out that as of October 30th, all of my data is up for grabs by use of AI in whatever shape or form they wish with absolutely no repercussions if they use it in a false or misleading manner. On top of that; no opts outs, no options what so ever to allow it to be possible to keep using any Meta based platform (any social media) without all of my business and who I am being for AI to utilise.

I have spent the last 7 years of my business using social media as a way for people to get to know me personally as Gut Feelings is an expression of my heart, passions, morals and drive. This means my platform is scattered with my face, my opinions, my routines etc etc. Had I known that one day AI would get to have its way about me, I would have moved differently. But had I done so, I would not have formed the relationships that I have via social media.

It makes me sick. I am SO DEEPLY AGAINST AI. I accept it is here - because I have to - and am learning to bite my tongue a bit around the subject, but this is taking it a step too far.

I need to sit with what on earth I am going to do with this as it feels like a very big decision to step fully away from social media but sadly I feel backed into a corner. I think it may finally be time for me to move fully into the newsletter format.

I will keep you posted.

Back to quiet time...

I am stepping back into online quiet time - hiding behind my SCOBYs? Still working away with all things Kombucha brewery and veg fermenting this week, just silently in regards to the online world.

My personal life has been a whole bundle of a lot in this last week and I have nothing to give marketing or thought wise online so I shall be a bit hush again for the next wee while.

Plus I am away on hoooliidaaaaaay a week tomorrow for a one week exhale. First proper break of the year and holy moly do I need it.

So yes apologise for my silence on here but all is working fine behind the scenes. Hope you are all enjoying the arrival of Autumn!

Brand new flavour!

Heading out this week and will be around for a couple of months. Turns out the combo of bramble + elderflower + fermentation leads to a very deep copper colour, super unexpected!

A delightful wee treat to celebrate our bramble season.

BRAND NEW KOMBUCHA FLAVOUR!

Coming out to local stockists as of next week and it will be around with us for the next month or so. As mentioned before, our Blueberry & Chamomile is having a shorter run this year as I have developed a new and deeeliissshhh flavour that I want to allow plenty of time this year.

Bramble and .... ??

NEW PRODUCT!
(very limited edition)

For those of you wondering about my little accidental fermentation the other week...this is the result. I had hoped (and still hope) to make a nice chunky fermented salsa but I went absolutely NUTS on my chilli addition so it was too ridiculously spicy to be served up as a salsa - aye, chilli seeds an'a.

So through a process of straining, blitzing, mixing...I came to a final product which I have called 'Salsa Sauce' which is part of a new 'fiery fermented' range that is in development at the moment.

This is not a blow yer heed off kind of spice. It is still tasty and I would say medium spice. It is fermented and VERY alive, so don't go playing about with keeping it out the fridge too long unless you want your walls to enjoy it too...

Huge thanks to Brage and his team at for the beautiful tomatoes and to for supplying me with the chillis.

Heading out from this Thursday and only while stocks last! I am making a total of 2 batches of this, just in line with the tomato season, so get it while it's oot and aboot.

This week , and will be getting some and next week heading to too.

A very special batch!!

If you buy a jar of Dill Kraut with the best before date: 26.02.27, then you have found the golden ticket... no, not really. BUT you have landed yourself a jar of extra special Gut Feelings Dill Kraut.

The vast majority of the cabbage within this batch of kraut has come from Roseisle Market Garden, just up the road from Gut Feelings HQ. It is a total delight for me as Katie an I have been in conversations about this collaboration since last year and we were not sure if it would come to fruition this year or not.

But alas, it did! And jeezooo is it delicious. The cabbages were an absolute delight to work with and have a stronger green tint than the others that I have been fermenting, which has lasted to this point too.

Thank you so much Katie. You should be immensely proud of what you and your team have achieved this year at Roseisle Gardens. I am sooo chuffed to get to benefit from the hard work and love you have poured into that land. X

A little Autumnal breather.

Oocha this Summer has been a lot! This is not a complaint as it has been a very successful wee time in many ways. But it has certainly been hitting me in these last couple of weeks so I have decided to take a couple of little pauses with the Fermented Food Hub over this next month or so.

After this evening, the next dinner will be on the 1st October and then another break until the 22nd October. I have lots coming up in my personal life in these next weeks plus me and my partner are going on holiday for a very very much needed breather. Phew!

It has been so important to me to ensure the Food Hub doesn't become a stressful endeavour as I do feel like the energy with which the food is made translates in the final product. I was definitely achieving this goal until a couple of weeks ago as I was juggling usual Gut Feelings routine, Food Hub meal creations, prepping for retreat work plus the garden on the plot of land I manage is popping off.

All good things, but a little too much in one go and I hit a bump of stress that I have not experienced in my body in a long time. Very unpleasant to feel and most certainly a sign to listen to.

So instead of powering through with the busyness that I can see in the calendar ahead, I have decided to be kind to my nervous system and remove a couple of things from the expectation list.

Thanks for your patience. Hopefully you can understand that it's better to serve you no food at all than food filled with my stress!

Want to hear what the microbes make me sing about...?
..joking. I don't write music from the perspective of the gut microbiome nor do I sing in the language of the microbes, although that would be something!

In a non Gut Feelings related segment of my life, myself and two of my very good pals, Gulli and Lianne, have a wee band called Hulliannah. We perform as a duo or a trio and next month myself and Gulli are the opening act of a night of music with .

Our music is soft with a focus on delicate harmonies that hopefully send tingles through your body the same way they do for us as we sing. It is an absolute pleasure to sing with one another and what a wee treat to get to do it on stage.
