Falling in love

It Is Never Too Late To Fall In Love

I hope that you noticed that there wasn't a post from me last Sunday. That was because I was not at home last Sunday. We had a little 4 day break and we went across to Dorset. I have always loved Dorset, Bournemouth being my favorite place. If I could have a holiday home anywhere in the world, it had to be in Bournemouth. I can't have any holiday home so it is just lucky that Bournemouth is just under 2 hours away. 

This time though we went a bit further and ended up in Lyme Regis. I fell in love immediately. This lovely little town in right on the sea and it was just wonderful seeing the sun rise over the gentle hills of the Dorset coast. Mind you, I think I could even see Bournemouth in the distance. If I ever move again in my life, I want to move to Lyme Regis, even though there are steep hills and the post office in the high street closed down.  One of the  high lights of our trip was Chesil Beach on the way home. I had to see it again, this enormous stone pile being 29 kilometers long, stretching between Abbotsbury and Portland. It is 15 meters high and it was a long climb up the bank and down the other side, but again, the sea is just lovely. I was always fascinated about the orderly lay out of the pebbles on Chesil Beach. The lot at the Abbotsbury end is pea sized and gets bigger toward the Portland end, being the size of big hen eggs, I think. I still cannot believe that it only contains 100 million tons of stones. It was a bit sad that you are not allowed to take any, but I do understand that if you did take stones, eventually this wonder of nature might disappear. And I definitely don't want that to happen. 

This was still not the only thing that made our trip special. On our way to Lyme Regis we made a detour to Studland because we wanted to visit the Agglestone. I've only recently learned about the Agglestone in a webinar and I was intrigued about that 400 ton boulder which lies on a conical hill in the middle of Godlingston Heath overlooking Poole harbour. 

The legend has it that it was thrown by the devil after he got his eyes on Corfe Castle. He was so envious of the fine building that he took the top off one of the needles at the Isle of Wight and threw it in the direction of Corfe Castle intending to destroy it. Well, he was not a good shot because he missed it by more than 5 miles and now the poor boulder lies there, eroding slowly and toppled over once already. Corfe Castle is in ruins today so the devil got his way eventually. 

But the Agglestone Rock is not only a beautiful spot with a beautiful golden Sandstone, it was also made into a Homoeopathic remedy. It is an excellent trauma remedy where indicated, because it helps to accept changes in life after a loss or trauma. This makes it very good for refugees, not only because of the loss but also because it brings back the energy in the patient as well. Please remember that Homoeopathy is a very individual medicine and that the remedy taken has to fit the patient. So no self medicating, please. Come and see me, and we can talk about what you need. Give me a ring on 07813 195468. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
