The mystery that is the Cornish Fogou. Their purpose unknown but my best guess is for rituals of death and rebirth. #wyrdwednesday Boleigh, Penwith

Fairy knots - Legend has it if you find little knots in the mane it's because the Fae are riding your pony at night, braiding little stirrups into their mane and going on celestial adventures. She did seem a little tired this morning... #folklore #folktales

Making my own skin care from natural, organic, simple ingredients infused with organic home grown and foraged herbs. It's been a game changer for my skin staying away from prescribed petroleum based products and the preservatives in them.

Spriggan - the Cornish piskies malevolent and grotesque cousins who guard the barrows, cairns and stone circles of West Penwith. Known to conjure storms, steal cattle and terrify travellers. Most frighteningly of all steal mortal children and swap them for changelings. #folkyfriday #Cornwall

Bronze age barrow and cist - Penwith, Cornwall. In view of Chun Quoit and Chun Castle. A landscape clearly revered by Neolithic, bronze and iron age peoples. #TombTuesday

Making the most of these sunny days for autumn #foraging. Conkers, rosehips, apples, self-heal, red clover, yarrow and honeysuckle. For syrups, treats, oils, soaps -washing liquid, balms and salves.
