Wish you were here. I miss the sending and receiving of postcards. Of course I know email is faster and texting is instant, but there is something to be said about sending a postcard to a friend or loved one. It suggests a bit of vintage charm and old school thoughtfulness that are often forgotten, and definitely muted by the high-tech messaging of today.

Only great stays available here! Book now to stat in our luxury Yurt, sleeps 2-6 guests. Fire pit. Log burning stove. Pet friendly. South Downs National Park. Our guests say;

‘We had an absolutely magical stay in the Yurt. It was such a beautiful location, and so lovely to sit outside at night with the fire pit, listening to the sounds of nature and spotting the odd bat. There was a lovely big area for our boys to run around and plenty of options for outside dining. We absolutely loved the outside kitchen and lounge area - really nicely done. We all said we’d like to return’.

‘The Yurt was amazing, the pictures don’t do it justice, the location and scenery are phenomenal and the Yurt itself has so many thoughtful touches. I would definitely stay again’.

We look forward to hosting you at The Yurt at Garden House Sussex.

A great way to enjoy all the benefits of fresh air and natural sunlight, outdoors in this weather, is to harness the heat of an outdoor fire. Sitting around a crackling fire, being warmed and feeling cosy is a perfect solution.

As a species we love fire. You could say it’s in our DNA. This love affair with fire is understandable; it has been instrumental in our evolution. According to Dr Christopher Lynn, a medical and psychological anthropologist, for our prehistoric ancestors, fire would have provided “light to extend the day and illuminate otherwise uninhabitable dark places; heat for cooking previously inedible food, warming bodies at night, and enabling migration into colder climates; a weapon to facilitate mass hunting and stave off predators; and, according to several scholars, social nexus.”

It’s also believed that social skills, cooperation and language evolved around the campfire due to the necessity of maintaining those fires.

What about the benefits of sitting around a fire today? It’s widely accepted that it is relaxing and calming and obviously it allows us to stay outside in otherwise inhospitable conditions. But are there any other health benefits? Research carried out by Dr Lynn, a professor at the University of Alabama, showed that people who were subjected to both the sight and sounds of a hearth fire or campfire experienced a significant drop in blood pressure, which was greater the longer they were exposed to it. He also suggested that “such fireside relaxation may be enhanced in social settings".

So what are you waiting for? NOW is the perfect time to reap the benefits of fresh air, sunlight and a roaring fire. Go outside, take your family with you, light up your fire pit, take a deep breath and let yourself be captivated by the flames.

There’s something to be said for the power that flowers possess. For something so seemingly inanimate, flowers have an immense ability to stir our soul. Flowers never speak a word, never give an embrace, and never interact with us, and yet despite not ever trying to actually affect us, they deeply affect us on such an emotional level.

Garden House Sussex, formerly ‘Gardeners Cottage’ was home to the head gardener to Coates Castle which is why we have a plentiful supply of glorious flowers throughout the year.

These crackers were hand picked & arranged by me this morning for our guests in The Bothy, formerly the ‘Old Potting Shed!’

My Happy Place

I want to run away from it all
to escape the rat race's incessant call
to be left to be myself
alone but happy on the shelf
I want to run away from it all

I want to start again somewhere new
Doing only all the things I want to do
No more obligated chores
Washing windows, scrubbing floors
I want to start again somewhere new

I want to buy some land and build a yurt
Live off grid so Mother Earth I don't hurt
Water heated by the sun
Organic gardening for fun
I want to buy some land and build a yurt

I want to sit a write by candlelight
Not a CF bulb or fluorescent tube in sight
No noise or light pollution
would be my perfect solution
I want to sit and write by candle light

I want to be awoken by the sun
not just on special days but every one
readjust my body clock
to natures silent tick and tock
I want to be awoken by the sun

I want to run away, you wanna come?
One is great but really two is twice the fun.
Loving life the way it's meant
Two poets in a tent
I want to run away you wanna come?

The Shepherd's Hut

It appeared gradually, as we crept along.
A glint of burnished copper, caught by the sun.
The darkest red of a dahlia, dappled with green,
canopied by forest, beside a stream.

There was a little deck, set with two chairs.
The kind of place to sit and stare.
To the left was forest, lush and deep.
And all around nibbled lambs and sheep.

Sunk into the garden was a round fire pit.
And a circle of tree stumps on which to sit
whilst toasting marshmallows and sharing tales.
Until the talking is done and the heavens regale.

Inside is all bed, as soft as a cloud.
We only awake when the bleating gets loud.
The sheep are complaining and covered with snow,
a glance through the window - Oh! what a show.

Lynskie. All poetry

It's thought the 'glove' part of the name is simply due to the flowers looking like glove fingers. Less certain is the connection to foxes. One theory is that people believed foxes wore the flowers on their paws to silence their movements when hunting.

A weekend break to the countryside can be a powerful antidote in an uncertain world. #visitsussex #mind Spending time in nature has been found to help with mental health problems including anxiety and depression. For example, research into ecotherapy (a type of formal treatment which involves doing activities outside in nature) has shown it can help with mild to moderate depression. This might be due to combining regular physical activity and social contact with being outside in nature. Being outside in natural light can also be helpful if you experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that affects people during particular seasons or times of year. And people tell us that getting into nature has helped them with many other types of mental health problems. www.mind.org.uk #powerofnature #naturebreaks #coatescommon #lordspiece #burtonmill #petworthdeerpark #hesworthcommon #fittleworthcommon #walkinginnature #walkinginthewoods #forestbathingretreat #forestbathing #naturetherapy #mindfulness #mindfulnessinnature #mothernaturesbeauty #birdsong #peace #lovesussex #sussexlife #takeabreak @gardenhousesussex
