I am delighted to have been featured on the BBC twice in December, talking about Mister Mishkins’ Apothecary.

Mister Mishkins does love the sun - but Friday and Mister Mishkins does love the sun - but Friday and Saturday were far too hot for him! He was very out of sorts, and I did wonder whether a trip to the v - e - t may be needed. Thankfully, today he is back to his normal loving, happy self. He has spent the morning in the office keeping an eye on everything, and has now gone in to watch Wimbledon and await a catnip mouse delivery. All in all, not a bad Monday for my gorgeous ginger cat.

The summer solstice is upon us. Time is stretched The summer solstice is upon us. Time is stretched to its thinnest point before the elastic tightens once more in our annual circle around the sun. Later today, I shall walk barefoot on the grass, reflecting upon the last six months and looking towards the next. Setting my intentions. Reclaiming myself, my dreams, my goals. I shall offer a libation of sparkling wine to the goddesses, asking for their guidance as I step into the next chapter of my life. This time, I will listen to them. This time, I will be brave and daring. I shall reach for the wildest of my dreams, and hold them close until they are breathed into life. A day of contemplation, redefining boundaries and goals, and of fresh determination settling into my soul along with the setting sun. Samantha xx 📷 by me @omelarab - one of the most soulful places in the world.
Wishing my wonderful dad a Happy Father's Day. The Wishing my wonderful dad a Happy Father's Day. The person who always pushes me to try that little bit harder, be it an opening line to a book, menus I plan to cook, or just living in the moment. This photograph seems like a lifetime ago. It was taken in February 2019 in New Zealand on my favourite beach in the world. We were there for Arabian horses, and stayed to visit my dear friends at Gerzanne Stud. Life is all about making memories, and this one will always be special. Thank you, dad, for all that you do. And sending love to my friends who are missing their own dad's today. Much love.
