A busy crossroads!

We've been stewarding the land for all the lives it holds for so long that 42 Acres is species-rich. This return to natural abundance can be felt viscerally almost immediately on arrival. It signals safety to our nervous system, allows cortisol levels to drop, and supports our bodies to shift out of a constant state of alert.

----

We have a new, relaxed nature volunteer group - Wild Guardians. We start with a cuppa around the fire and then take small, hopeful actions together in support of nature.

It's an invitation to learn new skills, connect with like-minded folk, do something meaningful and simply be on this land.

You’re welcome to join in for a wild swim too (or not!). At 1pm we’ll stop and share a simple lunch together, provided by 42 Acres.

Wild Guardians gather on the last Sunday of every month from 10am-2pm. You're very welcome to join us.

Hope to see you on Sun 28 June

“42 Acres is an absolute treasure. The space feels completely unspoilt, and we truly felt like it was just us there. That sense of freedom is rare and so special.

We had the best time exploring, sauna sessions, gathering round the fire circle, playing the logs, and so much more. Wonderful memories made with wonderful people. We'll definitely be back!”

-- Kelly, Self-Catered Stay Guest in The Farmhouse 2026

“Every flower blooms in its own time” This week at 42 Acres: The land feels green and lush after what proved to be days of cool, refreshing rain. Fruits such as ruby red strawberries are beginning to flourish in the Walled Garden and we are patiently awaiting the ripening of peaches, apricots and figs!

We’ve officially started the two week countdown for The Summer Solstice Retreat with We’re going all out to put on an extra special weekend with practices & intentions to guide you through a carefully curated experience that has 3 focal points: inner healing, re-wilding ourselves, and living celebration. We cannot wait, and hope to see you there!

As we close this week, we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who watches and interacts with 42 Seconds. We are on hiatus for a couple of weeks, but will be back soon sharing more of our weekly antics!

Here’s Molly, our wild food lead, sharing knowledge about one of Europe’s most recognisable hedgerow flowers: Elderflower (Sambucus niger).

In ancient mythology, Elder is a highly sacred plant with a spirit known as ‘Elder Mother’ or ‘Hylde Moer’ in Danish, who resides within the tree - and whose permission must be sought before the tree is touched. In order to make use of the flower and fruit of the tree, the correct prayers and offerings would need to be made.

Herbalists have revered Elderflower for its anti-inflammatory and immune boosting properties, due to it being rich in flavonoids and phenolic acid. Elderflower may also act as a diaphoretic, meaning it encourages sweating. This helps lower fevers, clear blocked sinuses, and soothe sore throats.

So, next time you are enjoying a glass of Elderflower cordial, remember that you are sipping on one of nature’s natural remedies with links to the mythical and magical.

It’s so vibrant here right now. Walking the land is a multisensory experience. The air is thick with tufts of floating willow cotton and swirling flights of swallows. The scent of blooming flowers is heady and sweet, and the persistent thrum of millions of insects is punctuated by rich birdsong.

Experiencing these everyday miracles reminds us that as we tend to nature, we are also tending to our own well-being, and to our shared future.

Come to 42 and get a first-hand feel of this. Here’s a list of upcoming retreats, events, and experiences. We hope something calls to you 🌻

“An absolute treat of a retreat. Self-catered accommodation was
high-quality and spacious. Take your walking boots and explore the beautiful surroundings, look for the animals and listen to the birds. Take a boat out on the lake or just swim in it, then do the wood-fired sauna. We self-catered, but you can order locally produced meals delivered to your door.” ”

-- Martin, Self-Catered Stay Guest 2026

Slow down for a moment and picture this: waking up to birdsong outside your window, a picnic breakfast basket of premium provisions delivered to your door, and nothing rushing you except the desire to go explore.

That’s the rhythm of a self-catered stay at 42 Acres, time and space to do things your way, whether that means slow mornings, long walks, wild swims, or wood-fired sauna sessions after a day outside.
