Made some spinach soup with all them greens. ๐Ÿฅฌ Made some spinach soup with all them greens. ๐Ÿฅฌ It probably doesnโ€™t look very appetising, but it is surprisingly homey and tasty. Caramelised onions, spinach and other greens (varieties of lettuce in this case). Then spices (salt, pinch of sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika) blended with choice of milk and some stock. Topped with choice of plain chunky cottage cheese. With less milk/stock it could be an amazing dip as well. Two ingredient (ignoring liquids and spices) recipe. I love those. #girldinner #spinachsoup #twoingredient #greenfood #recipeshare #souprecipe
Incy wincy spiderโ€ฆ climbed up the water spout. ๐Ÿ˜Š Living closer with nature means lots of natury things. And over time even the scary things, you realise, are just so misunderstood and beautiful. And learning to respect and be vigilant allows all your senses to be heightened. And somehow that need to be safe and on the lookout allows you to be more present. It is also wonderful to know, you are never alone. Visitors of all kinds visit daily. The most interesting birds, monkeys, baboons, fireflies, moths, butterflies and other bugs. Connectedness is beautiful. Rewilding 101. ๐ŸŒผ #rewilding #offgrid #offgridliving #spider #meadowsinthemountains

Like this oneโ€ฆ it is in the shape of a heart and her wings are see-through. A little forest fairy in her light green mantle of sorts. Is it a lacewing? Does anybody know? Not sure the photo does it justice though. #lacewing #forest #bugs #forestbug

I have moved into a small off-grid cabin about a m I have moved into a small off-grid cabin about a month ago. It wasnโ€™t something i was consciously looking for at the time. But I guess unconsciously this was exactly what I was looking for. ๐Ÿ˜Š The dream is to find a property to own one day and build that dream house. But for now, I am so happy to be in a place that is nurturing, calm and peaceful. And there is so much to learn here. I hope to share some of the challenges and victories on here. Things like where I get water from. How I cook and the bathroom situation. I donโ€™t pay for water or electricity. I live alone with my two dog companions. There are other (bigger) cottages on the farm as well. So, it is not completely isolated. I probably talk to more people here than when I lived in Cape Town. Happy Sunday to all. ๐Ÿ˜˜
October things. A month of living off-grid. My d October things. A month of living off-grid. My dogs. Fields. My fav tree. Bokke winning! Journalling. Peace. Braais. ๐Ÿค™๐ŸŒบ Playing around with more reels. Having fun with the music and adding little snippets of my life. Somehow with music it seems great! ๐Ÿ˜‚ However, the pure blissful moments you canโ€™t record. Whether it is an ant carrying a crumbโ€ฆ watching a snake skilfully move away. Moths. Fireflies. Stars. I read this in my Mary Oliver poems book this morning. โค๏ธ โ€˜I have decided to find myself a home in the mountains, somewhere high up where one learns to live peacefully in the cold and the silence.
