Pilea…

14th June 2025

Hello my most beautiful and precious starshine {} xxx

How are you my lovely? I really do hope you’re okay and you’ve had a chance to rest over the weekend, and you’ve been getting restful sleep {} xxx

I know you’ll be busy creating lots of delicious magic in your kitchen today, but I hope you’re taking everything at a gentle and relaxed pace. It’s been such a beautiful day with sunshine. I’m keeping everything crossed you were able to enjoy it with a gorgeous walk. I hope so {} xx

I hope this makes you chuckle xx I couldn’t stop laughing. Unconscious bias!

It’s 19:19. I keep forgetting to tell you about the Piliea family. I separated the two babies a month ago, but they needed to be close to their mother for at least three weeks, so that they didn’t experience separation anxiety. Here they are. 

Pilea family all together.

After separating the two baby pileas.

Growing strong and healthy after a month. The eldest on the right, happily went to her new home today, to our very dear friend and neighbour. She was ready to spread her leaves and soar.

Cyclamen has their very first flower, and they wanted to say hello to you xx

Bougainvillea is spreading her blooms as well. She hasn’t had this many orange flowering leaves since she first arrived. She’s very happy.

It was comforting seeing the huge crowds at the anti-racists matches in Belfast, Glasgow, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle and Liverpool yesterday. They do outnumber them don’t they? Staff at Norfolk council are wearing rainbow badges, after Reform took down the LGBTQ+ and Ukraine flags.

It’s 20:27. I wanted to tell you about something else, but my brain and energy have gone. Tomorrow.

I’m going to leave you with Benjamin Clementine’s new song Pizza Mind. I hope you love it as well {} xxx There are moments that remind me of Nick Drake’s River Man. What do you think?

I really hope you don’t finish too late my lovely. Thoroughly enjoy your superb meal, then sit back, relax and enjoy the most beautifully chilled evening for me too {} xx

Sleep well, sleep restfully and peacefully, with sweet dreams for you and for me {} xxx

I’m sending you tons and tons of magical healing love, humongous bear hugs and kisses. Take the greatest and gentlest care of yourself my precious starshine, and rest, rest and rest {} xxxx
