Once again I’ve found another small business that calls to me, I found her on tiktok and I saw a video of her wax melts and I was instantly sold. https://www.moonlighthomemade.co.uk/

Willow Woods Scoopie Box is Tuberose & Cashmere Woods- Fall into the comforting embrace of this gentle floral fragrance where soft nuances of bergamot and mandarin lead to a romantic white-floral bouquet of creamy tuberose and jasmine with nuances of orange flower and lily. In delicate shapes of woodland leaves and fungi.

Box of Frogs Scoopie Box is Scented with Green Tea & Bergamot – A fresh and vibrant floral green tea accord with notes of soft cool stems, bergamot, sweet rose, lily, dry leaf tea and a base of amber Are you as mad as a box of Frogs? I think I might be, as who can burn these sweet babies. Think I have made them my pets now 🤣🤣🤣🤣 far too adorable to burn, though they smell absolutely gorgeous.

Freebie is Thunderstorm, with wood sage and sea salt on top, and I don’t know how they captured a thunderstorm, but they did!! This fresh marine based scent perfectly captures that aquatic, earthy aroma that comes after a heavy downpour. With hints of citrus, leading to an excellent blend of wood, salt, spiciness and sweetness.

Well this month has sucked for weather, for increasing pain and having my Instagram hacked, goodbye Sirenmoonbee account. If you see it on insta please report and block it.

Usually July I’m on a high, the sun is shining, we go camping a lot, visit the sea a lot, and it’s my birthday. But this year it’s felt completely flat!! Mostly due to weather though. Without decent sunshine you can’t do a summer camp and seaside visits.

Its like October in July, but not in the nice Halloween code orange way 😞

Instagram though I have to admit I feel completely and utterly violated,all my private messages gone, my photos, my documented life, friends I’ve gathered over time. Poof gone in an instant (irony of that) and ZERO help from Meta or Instagram.

But we can’t fix what is now past. We just have to plod onwards and see the beauty in other things, and think as positively as we can. It may not be weather for seaside’s and camping, but perhaps we will do more walks instead, though my increased pain is hindering this sadly.

I’ve been making some earrings and bracelets recently, which is nice to do after thumb surgery. Not easy to do, but it’s coming along, so that’s my silver lining.

To kick start our weekend, as we set off Friday we had a ‘free’ day, or so we thought. Traffic decided on different matters, and boy oh boy the weather, all kyboshed most plans. Didn’t manage to do all we wanted, as time was against us, but we did a first for us, and that’s visit West Kennet Long Barrow.

What is West Kennet I here you ask, well it’s one of the largest, and most accessible Neolithic chambered tombs in Britain. Believed to have been built in around 3650 BC, it was used for a short time as a burial chamber, and nearly 50 people have been buried here before the chambers were blocked. It’s now part of the Avebury World Heritage Site.

West Kennet Long Barrow is in private ownership and in English Heritage guardianship. It is managed by The National Trust on behalf of English Heritage, and the two organisations share the cost of managing and maintaining the property. Probably constructed in the thirty-seventh century BC, during Britain’s Early Neolithic period, today it survives in a partially reconstructed state.

Weather was super unsettled, whipping rain howling winds and we were shattered. So rather than carrying on with a visit around Avebury Stone Circle like we had planned, we decided to find our accommodation and have some food, and get warmed up.
