Novel ideas,cider tea and traditional cooking
Mulling over 'mulled pomegranate cider' tea doesn't it sound wonderful you can get it here.Have some chores today but still plenty of time to read my books and maybe work on my historical novel 'Daughter of Ivor' - that's the novel idea I'm most enjoying at the moment.
Unlike the other two books I was working on 'Bridewood asylum' and 'The legends of wistow hall' which are set in the Victorian and Edwardian era,'Daughter of Ivor' is set in modern times in the Hebrides with lots of cottage cosiness, but with plenty of historical legends and notes so the best of both worlds.Probably going to put an old woman in it too who has the An da shealladh or "the two sights," meaning "the sight of the seer" or "second sight" - prophecy,clairvoyance.
The Hebrides in ancient roman accounts and the sacred isles generally are described as "full of awesome gloom" and the Hebrides definately still has that low haunted feeling to me.
Truly if I can complete all three books and put them on Amazon,through amazons self publishing I would be so proud of myself even if they sold only one copy. I could then say I published some books.
But really I just write them because I want somewhere else to inhabit, I'm passionate about history and legend,and because I'm a romantic daydreaming soul, I never really think about them being read.It is very far reaching indeed to imagine three finished books.But really when I imagine my best life It involves some sort of housewifery and writing historical fiction.
Thought about how much I'd like to be eating organic everyday,I am a very healthy eater(nothing unnatural) but I don't get to eat organic much anymore.Id love a wholefoods here and to be making my own Buddha bowls every few days with beans,Avocado,vegetables etc.
Though I like to eat traditional foods moreso,like Croatian pinca (Easter bread) with tea.I like to stick to my own ancestral traditions as much as possible generally.
Still sick and not really sure what to do about it,I just get on with it most of the time.Its been almost two months of it.I certainly envy people who are well and can only hope it eventually passes.
Mulled cider.
