When I realized that the ancient spice road was really about medicine and not just spices for cuisine, it was such a revelation. Herbs were our fist medicines.

Good to know that not only do spices enhance the foods, but have health benefits too .Thanks to the daring of those early travellers along the Spice road and to you for reminding us 💚💚 xx

I love to use mixed spice, together with extra cloves, ginger and fennel, in my chai. I make it on top of my wood burner and it fills the house with a wonderful smell. It's my go-to when I'm not feeling 100%.

I grow my own fennel, had the same plant for the last three years and it produces the biggest seeds I have ever seen. I didn't collect them this year, I'm hoping it will self-seed all over the place as I love the look of it, so tall and feathery. Plus the insect love the flowers so I want to give them more food.

Lovely ! I agree entirely about the use of spices.
I use Myrrh and Frankincense daily. I know now why they were taken as gifts to the Holy Child.
Cinnamon, ginger, cloves etc. all magic.
And a bit of star anise in a stew lifts it to another level.
Love your intro music. It soothes and settles.
Keep warm and safe.

This is a wonderful video for all of us, thank you so much for sharing it. I make the traditional orange stuck with cloves and use all those spices most of the year in Moroccan and Indian cooking. Oh life is so full of such beauty and marvelous gifts from Mother Nature, they feed the soul and body. Merry Everything to Everyone!!

❤Thank you for this video! I’m blending winter herbal tea for gifts with fresh baked scones for my friends at work. Today I handed out 12 bags and some people were raving about the tea blend I made them last winter. I don’t need a gift in return from coworkers, just the happiness in their face is priceless for me. 😊

I love your holly bushes! I think, of all shrubs/trees, holly is my absolute favourite! Your garden still looks so lovely! In case you don't post again before the holidays, I wish you & yours a happy & healthy Yule!

[kerryl]

Those fern spores were pretty! Looked like yellow icing! The holly berries on our bush have almost been eaten by the birds - very few left! But the leaves are lush and shiny, so a little trimming will be done soon. Love natural decorations. Super little tree was just waiting for you. I can imagine the lovely aroma.

[ShenanK]

How nice that the universe gave you a tree! I agree, no need to kill a tree just for the holidays xo

Hello Terrie. I wanted to tell you how much benefit your videos can bring. Last Friday evening, I was rushed from my GPs surgery to hospital. I was in A and E, in a private room for 8 hours. My wife and my brother in law sat by me all that time, as I had a range of tests. I don''t remember anything, not even arriving at the hospital. A senior registrar diagnosed pneumonia and said that my body was shutting down very quickly. The first thing I was aware of, was Saturday morning, hooked up to a collection of equipment, I was on oxygen for 4 days, and given all sorts of treatments and injections..

On Wednesday, the patients were told to go home, if possible. There was an outbreak of MRSA. Having developed CAP after I've just suffered 16 weeks of Covid has left me incredibly weak and at risk at risk. I was out of the ward like a flash. I was sitting here at home, watching your video just now, when it dawned on me that I was smiling and relaxed. Thank you Terrie, you will never know how much you helped me. I was at a low ebb until I watched you.. Christmas is looking better all the time. I hope you all have a wonderful time.

Hello Terri,
I make a simmer pot regularly with intentions and it makes the house smell amazing!
Good Yule to you all 😊

[jenniferbriski]

Cinnamon, nutmeg and clove also tastes great sprinkled on coffee grounds before making drip coffee - no need for Starbucks! Now I'm hungry - but before I go and make something to eat you have a wonderful week as well and enjoy the incredible smell the tree must be bringing into the house. 🥧☕🎄

[MariaNielson-qpsj]

You are so genuine and beautiful 🤗 Cant wait to see your Christmas tree decorations next film! 🎄
