After the response to my posts about nature cure, & the conversation they opened about the myths surrounding it, I wanted to reshare this deeply personal piece.

Midday sun at 60 degrees north 💛 On the darkest day, there is always light to be found. It can feel hard to find, harder to hold onto, but it is there. To keep and cultivate the light, to carry it into the darkness, is sometimes all that we can do #Shetland #WinterSolstice

Today's treasure ❤️
This is a Codd marble.
In 1872 Hiram Codd invented a bottle with a marble to create a seal for soft drinks. These were used until around the 1930's when metal caps replaced them.
They are a rare find and make wonderful seaglass pendents 💛

When I write about about Shetland ponies, I am writing about love. Love for #Shetland, it's windswept hill and wild sea. Love for island memories of independence despite exploitation & love for the ponies who helped folk survive & who still connect people to land & history.
