Happy 3rd birthday to this little chap ... he is very much loved, a scruffy bundle born into my hands behind this chair.

Newest make, offset Carnelian pinkie ring. It really brightens my day.

2026 has started with a good mix of Doula work and memorials. It would be lovely to get my teeth into a few weddings to ring the changes.

I look forward to meeting you and hearing your love stories.

This year has been busy. I have worked, played, cooked, eaten and walked. My family continue to be my reason for being. My friends buoy me up. My work gives me focus and immense joy.

I wish you all a very happy and full 2026. I hope that our paths will cross and that we share a laugh and a moment together.

is good

I derive great satisfaction from creating funerals that honour a life well lived and a return to nature. If I can help you in this regard, please let me know.

Autumnal board made with the children at the after school club. Variety is the spice of life.

I promised to tell you a little more about the last ceremony that I conducted in September this year.

It was part one of a celebration for a Celebrant friend and her husband. When we met to discuss the event, they had already made a few plans. They had booked a sweep to attend and bring them luck. What a lovely chap, full of charm and wit and with his cat, Snowflake perched on his shoulder; that suggested fire. They had a two friends to speak - one on the subject of committment and love and that spoke to us of words and the air - the other a mason gave us a reflection on the working tools of an apprenticed mason - rooted in the earth and finally they had bought a Sussex Pig - an ancient vessel that was used to toast a bride and groom in the 1800's - we used this to represent water although I know that they toasted each other with cider!

This was the last wedding of the season for me, and what a belter!

Here is the central space, created as a hoop from hazel wands studded with flowers.

The bride and groom were the only people allowed to step into this area - I will share more in due course.

It is great to receive messages from happy customers and to be told that you were an important part of their very special event.

I am looking forward to working with a variety of couples in 2026. Please drop me a note if you are looking for a Celebrant to help you.
