I've always been fascinted by toilet signs.

(Yeah I know)

So I was really pleased to find this one at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in Oxford when I went networking last week. Well done!

If you've not checked your melons for a while, go and give them a quick squeeze.

Yesterday I was like a pig in &£^%.

I got to visit the Oxford University herberia..I saw this book which was made in the 1600s by the person who create the botanic garden in Oxford. And samples created by Charles Darwin and Linnaeus (the person who invented the "modern" binomial system of naming plants). They also had the only samples of two extinct plants.

They have a "field guide" of medicinal plants from Italy in thr 1500s but unfortunately I didn't get to see that.

Definitely a fun way to spend an afternoon!

Watch out 2027

Abundance.

It's the season of the harvest. Traditionally a time where we gather the riches nature has to offer us.

And we can share those riches because abundance has no bounds.

Last night I read from my Almanac at a wonderful evening of the spoken word, in a yurt.

It was particularly special because it was around the equinox and everyone had brought poems and book readings that connected with nature and the season. It was almost as if we'd colluded.

It's easy to get swept up in the chaos of the world around us at the moment, that we forget our connection with others and our own abundance. We have everything we need and we can give generously.

Generosity and giving can actually improve our health. It makes us happier and relaxes our bodies.

Health isn't just what we eat, it's how we live our lives. Let's live generously.

What a fun day out!

I'm having a great day out at the British Herbal Medicine Association's stakeholder day.

We're having amazing discussions about herbal medicine quality and safety (I reckon using a synchrotron for base data could really up the game), including the restricted herbs that only us herbalists can use.

The MHRA talked to us about how they're looking at medicinal mushrooms and we also have Kew Gardens talking to use about their new Plants for Health.

And of course I get to chat to some amazing herbalists and herbal suppliers.

We're finally redefining women's heart attacks!

So who watched all three then?

Last night we had not one, but two astronomical delights!! The solar eclipse and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.

And in between I tried out the new version of my free workshop Hormones - what they should have taught you at school.

And if you missed them fear not!

The next solar eclipse in the UK is in 2090, the Perseids continue for the next 10 days and, perhaps more importantly, my workshop is back next month!
