Christine's Blog!!
I've just started a blog! Everyone else seems to be doing it, so I thought I'd better get on board. PLEASE visit and post your thoughts, comments and ideas and that way I'll maybe learn how to use the damn thing - I'm not getting any younger you know! It's called 'Herbal Reflections'. Suggestions for a snappier title gratefully received (seriously! and if I like what you suggest, I might even send you a pressie). No particular rules other than keep it clean, be nice, and no overt advertising. You should continue to contact me at my email address (see bottom of page) if you have an urgent question as I won't be logging into the blog on a daily basis.
Worried about your pet's health? I receive quite a few emails from people seeking advice on natural remedies for their pets. Whilst I would like to be able to help I must stress that I have no veterinary qualifications whatsoever and am aware that certain food/herbs that are perfectly safe for humans to take may cause an animal harm. Dosage is also difficult to calculate. However, Chris Day, an experienced holistic vet in Oxfordshire, has a very informative website and may well be able to answer your questions - click here. If you have a dog, you might be interested in 'Herbal Medicine for Dogs' by Mary Boughton, available from the Purple Sage shop.

Need to Unwind?
Life seems to get ever more hectic and holidays do too. It's all too easy to spend your time rushing from place to place sightseeing, shopping and eating. The result is that you're glad to get back to work for a rest! Now is the time to try a different approach. This is your opportunity to step off the treadmill for one or perhaps even two weeks and experience a slower more restful pace of life. Spanish Reflections are offering a unique opportunity to recharge your physical and spiritual batteries in the natural beauty of Los Cerezos on the edge of the Sierra de Cazorla National Park in Spain. From mid-May to early June we are running four holistic breaks where you can combine rest and relaxation with a gentle opportunity to learn more about taking care of yourself. 'Los Cerezos' is spectacularly situated just below rugged mountain peaks in the Rio Cerezuelo Valley, nestling high above the pretty and historic town of Cazorla. 'Los Cerezos' consists of three cottages, each decorated in the traditional local rustic style. The rooms are comfortable and each cottage has its own facilities.
The property is set in a large garden, amongst hundreds of fruit and ornamental
trees whose leaves provide vivid splashes of colour, and where the air is filled
with the scent of Rosemary, Thyme and Lavender. Besides its rich vegetation and
magnificent flowers the garden features many secluded corners especially
designed for quiet thought and contemplation, whilst the swimming pool overlooks
the magnificent mountains, offering one of the best views in Cazorla. Our
breaks at Los Cerezos are on a full board basis and the price you pay also
includes interactive workshop sessions and a variety of other optional
activities. Each week there will be a different theme and you are free to book
for as many weeks as you like.
In addition to the workshop sessions there will be plenty of time to relax,
swim, chat to fellow participants, walk in the National Park or visit the
delightful village of Cazorla and the surrounding area.
