Rowenluin

Rowenluin from the inspiring land of the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales x Tolkien found inspiration for his Lord of the Rings stories.

We are sisters and a Mum from the Magical Lands of the Llyn Peninsula in the North of Wales, the land of The Mabinogion, Arthur and the stories J.R.R. It is impossible to be a child on the Pen Llyn and not feel the presence of Welsh history and mythology everywhere you go. What a place, we roamed for miles, for hours on end.

Sad to hear of the passing of David Hockney, a true rebel, a great soul & always through his travels in life a true Yorkshire man x
He brought colour into a very grey world 🌈

Thankfully ! Run out of black paint, this is what constant rain & wind does to you, slightly dark 😏
Have dedicated this plaque to the Welsh Gods of wind & rain, in the hope that they may send some sunshine before September !!!

Gwyn ap Nudd: Ruler of Annwn (the Welsh otherworld). In medieval poetry, his followers were occasionally called talaith y gwynt ("the nation of the wind"). He is strongly associated with the seasonal winds and mist, and his name has been poetically translated as the "White son of mist".

Dôn: The Welsh mother goddess of the starry heavens and the sea, Dôn is frequently linked with the element of the air.

Arawn: Another early Lord of Annwn, who was closely associated with the autumn and winter winds. The baying of his pack of phantom hounds in the sky was often equated with seasonal gales and the cries of migrating wild geese.

Repurposing driftwood from Pwllheli beach to hopefully make into a rustic and eye-catching piece of wall art.
When it's sunny I collect said driftwood, when's raining & windy AGAIN !
I stick it together 😊

First Elderflower of the year, always a thrill, it's the smell of my childhood, as you get older you get more grateful for those memories, my Dad's shed full of drying blooms, ready for my Mum to brew into a tea, for me to take for every ailment I may have, truly horrible, even the words, "you'll sit there untill you drink it, my girl" are a treasured memory.
But with a spoon or two of sugar, I'm now able to have elderflower cordial with my Gin 😋 Happy days
Off to sniff my elderflower now, have a good day ###

Little & large
We've had little rain, even today the clouds are blowing over the Pen Llyn !
So the sledge is out again, they all take their turn !
Mr chit chat comes for his soggy mealworms.
Must get something done, bird watching & a cup of coffee bliss 🤗

Here’s something I’ve always loved about Beltane… it’s not just a celebration of fire and fertility it’s one of those rare nights where the veil thins so much, it almost disappears. And when that happens, the fae? Oh… they come close.

Beltane sits right between spring and summer, and in old lore, it’s a liminal space a crossroads in time. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the fae live in the in-between. Twilight, doorways, forest edges, moments just before something changes… that’s their realm. So when Beltane arrives, it’s like the world itself becomes a doorway.

People used to say that on Beltane Eve, if you wandered too far into the woods, especially near hawthorn trees or fairy mounds, you might not come back the same… or at all. Time bends around them. You could dance for what feels like an hour and come back to find days or years have passed. And the dancing… that’s a big one. The fae are known to lure people into their circles with music that feels like it’s calling your soul home.

But here’s the thing they’re not all dark and dangerous. They’re wild. Untamed. They don’t follow human rules of right and wrong. Some are playful, even generous, especially during Beltane. Offerings of milk, honey, bread, or fresh flowers were left at doorways or on altars not as worship, but as respect. A way of saying, I see you. I honor your world. Walk gently around me, and I’ll do the same.

And fire plays into this too. Those Beltane fires weren’t just for celebration they were protection. People would light twin fires and walk between them, or pass their animals through the smoke, believing it would ward off mischief… especially from the fae, who were known to be a little extra bold that night.

There’s also this softer side of it . Beltane as a night of union. Not just human love, but the sacred marriage between worlds. Earth and spirit. Seen and unseen. And the fae are part of that weaving. If you’re open, if you’re quiet, if you’re aware… you might feel them. A shift in the air. A flicker of something just out of sight. That feeling that you’re not alone, but not in a frightening way more like you’ve stepped into something ancient and alive.

So on Beltane, I always say… enjoy the beauty, light the candles, celebrate the warmth returning. But don’t forget something else is celebrating too. And they’ve been doing it a lot longer than we have.

Beautiful evening, sat here on my porch, warm, looking at the moon, charging my stones, otherwise known as washing the dust off ! And drinking my first cup of herbal tea, foraged in the garden, bit of a ritual in my later years.
Have lit my candles, which I have to keep going till after midnight, that's a nuisance 🙄
Once went to a all woman's Beltane festival, turned nasty over who was going to hold a ribbon around the May Pole !!!!!
Merry Beltane everybody ###

Picked up more plastic than I did driftwood this morning !!! Just a short walk, perhaps 50 yds ! What is it with this plastic twine ? Miles of it ! and this just the amount I brought home to do a creation with, more went in the bin.
This should be banned from the fishing industry, know things are tight already, but surely something can be done 😕

Rewilding South Beach, due to these South westerly winds we keep having ! the wild flower seeds seem to be setting & growing along the kerb way.
All natural to the area, bee friendly & most of all pretty. Mostly Mullien, Evening Primrose, poppies & some purple toadflax, love that name.
Looking out for the council kerb cleaner, as a gardener, is similar to the fear of the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang !!!
