NATURAL ELIXER

GARLIC, GINGER, LEMON AND HONEY

I swear by this natural elixir when you have a cold, sore throat, the flu or upset tummy.

In a cup of boiling water add a clove of garlic cut into small pieces, a large slice ginger cut in small pieces, the juice of a lemon and a teaspoon of honey.

Infuse in the water and either strain it or better still leave it unstrained and eat the garlic and ginger.

This will strengthen the immune system to fight off the bugs.

If you have Thieves Essential Oil which is one of Young Living's best, then for a SUPER NATURAL ELIXER add two drops to this infusion.

Good health!

MT MARTHA BEACH

Remember that song Echo Beach?  Well Mt Martha Beach is my Echo Beach...far away in time.  It is a beautiful beach on the Mornington Peninsula that has a feel of a different era to it-a slower, gentler time perhaps.

I've been going there for 12 years and it is always clean and the waters a clear blue.  Around 1 hour from Melbourne the beach views of the Peninsula are truly spectacular and it makes for an easy drive. Take the scenic route via Nepean Hwy or the quicker Mooroduc Hwy to get to the heart of Mt Martha. 

Once there get yourself a stilton blue cheese and cauliflower tart from Mt Martha Fine Foods and invest the extra $2.00 for some relish to go with it.  Sit on this tranquil beach and enjoy this lovely experience.

BIRDSLAND RESERVE

Birdsland Reserve has one of my favourite reserves.  An easy 45 minute walk around bushland and two lakes makes this walk a pleasant experience for walkers and their dogs alike. 

The natural bird habitat is the reason why dogs are not allowed off lead however there is an area that people let their dogs run free behind the actual track.  Cyclists also utilise this track and you will occasionally see a horse or two being ridden along with kangaroos if you go at the right time and know where to spot them.  They usually come out in the evening.

Enjoy the lovely sunsets over the lakes. The Reserve closes around 8.30pm in Summer.  A great place for BBQ's and family time.

LA BAGUETTE CAFE

La Baguette Café
Adams Lane, Berwick

One of Berwick's hidden gem cafes is La Baguette, a gorgeous French inspired café with all the trimmings. Elegant ambience and very friendly staff. 

This particular morning I tried a breakfast consisting of croissants topped with creamy scrambled eggs with a side serve of field mushrooms. Very satisfying. 

Fortunately I left room for of the most delectable of desserts with a cup of Paris blend tea served in divine little cups.  This place takes casual café dining to a whole new level.

I'll be going back to sample the baguettes soon enough.  This place is a rare treat!

DIVINE EVOLUTION

A CD By Andrea Fisher

 

Divine Evolution is a meditative journey into timeless, ethereal places that invites inner peace along as a guide.

Take time to really listen to words of truth and feel the emotion that supports them. Cleansing, hypnotic music soothes every cell in your body whilst reabsorbing you into the collective cellular memory of all that is sacred. 

Each track blends seamlessly into the next lulling you in a nurturing cocoon of light that suspends you in stillness, floating peacefully in universal bliss.

Divine Evolution is an intimate account of a woman’s exploration of her soul and what she encounters along the way.  It tells of present time, and past reflections, surrender and reconnection, acceptance, understanding and awakening along with imprints of ancient civilisations, inner galaxies and higher realms found well beyond the fringes of imagination.

Andrea has been where she writes about and shares her experiences of what she has seen and felt with an honesty that is pure and refreshing.

Don’t just listen to it once. Put it on repeat and allow the gentleness and sincerity to wash over you again and again in a beautiful, cathartic experience that is Divine Evolution.
