Away for a spell on a magical mini break in the countryside of Guildford. We wanted a cabin in the woods vibes, a secret getaway and chose to have limited phone use and time away from social media.
The first day was sunny but later we were blessed with a thunderstorm! Breathing in the air as the thunder rolled in whilst the birds chirped and then cosyed up in the cabin with a book and a cuppa tea to watch the lightning and rain was heaven to me.

This place was serendipitous. It was here or a modern pod thing. We chose here because it felt closer to nature plus the owner had dogs!
Upon arrival we learned that the location sits on leylines and straddles a marsh and is surrounded by willow trees. We've befriended Julia whose cottage is close by and we spent hours chatting with her and fussing over her dogs. She felt kindred, we talked about dreams, the spirit world, life adventures and everything in-between. Just incredible nourishing conversations.
Straddling a liminal space + a wise woman in a cottage + dogs + thunderstorm gave real Hecate vibes! As I am a devotee to her, this felt just right, like she knew I needed to be there. We plan to go back.

I always find threshold places to rejuvenate me, often I seek them out, this time we just kinda stumbled on it and it was deeply healing.
Thank you to Hecate for showing the way ๐๏ธ๐ฏ๏ธ
