(An email from first time visitors and engagers with Permaculture at Bealtaine Cottage yesterday)

Hi Colette,

Wow!!! We had the most amazing time yesterday, thank you so much, we were all a bit overwhelmed with everything, I guess that's the reaction you get a lot of the time, at least on a first visit. My mind has been positively fizzing since, not with plans, though there is that, but with everything we saw.

I had read the book chapters and looked at some of your posts and hundreds of your photos but I was totally blown away by the reality of your achievement. My sister had looked a some of your stuff, and my husband hadn't seen any of it, but he's had me blathering on about you and Bealtaine Cottage for months.

I absolutely loved ALL of it, the amazing growth of trees, bushes and the sheer exuberance of nature running riot on a Ballyfermoyle hillside, and you right there setting it all in motion and continuing to make magic. Oh Colette, the sights and sounds and the feel of the place, the lushness is wonderful. I was afraid the day would be a bit of a washout as we drove through torrential rain on our way to you, but all that moisture was part of the feel of the place and tied in perfectly with setting the water free. Standing in your fairy circle looking across at the mountain as the sky cleared a bit and the clouds lifted up off the

mountain, what a way to spend some wonderful hours. The best use of a mortgage in the recent history of womankind.

Do you realise that you gave us the gift of over 4 hours of you time, thank you so much. Tea, lemon cake, thank you to your daughter for the cake, and not forgetting Jack, and you, the only word is MAGIC.

Thank you for a most memorable day, Blessings

Sally

The earth has a magnetic field and birds can sense it! Birds must be able to find their way even on cloudy dark nights when there are no stars to guide them.

Animals too can detect the geomagnetic field and use the information contained within it for orientation and perhaps also navigation. We humans perhaps once had this skill, but have long since lost and forgotten it.... I believe that the more contact we have with Mother Earth, the more we will reclaim our deep connections and intuitions.
