I like change and I don’t like pointless nostalgia. It feels like the present and the past refusing to co-exist in my conscious mind. Probably due the huge scale of the bridge coming up against those strong memories of going over to Scalpay before the bridge existed. Some things do throw my sense of place off balance though. I recall who had chickens on the steep hill behind the main street in Tarbert, who I played with on what beaches, what it felt like to bush walk through the rhododendrons in the castle grounds, balancing on the sewage pipe to get across the river at Bayhead and on and on. Every road and corner, the town, the castle grounds, the beaches are all still connected to those strong childhood memories. I still have a better mental map of Lewis and Harris than the area where I now live.
As I get older, I worry that someday I will get off the ferry and feel like a tourist in an unfamiliar place. The intensity of childhood experience and the memories we form in those early years are especially strong. The bond we form to the place into which we were born is enduring. Capture time in the waves and a little bit of time to myself.Įvery time I go back to Lewis I am simultaneously happy and worried. A few minutes of total focus and creativity. Consider where’s the best view point to bring all the elements together, what height the tripod should be, what attitude to set the camera at, get the filter holder onto the lens, work out the strength and type of filter you need, place it correctly, work out the exposure, wait for the perfect moment, release the shutter. That may seem a bit more trouble than it’s worth to some! I find it a very relaxing and enjoyable process. To capture this type of image you need a tripod and neutral density filters and a remote shutter release. It’s how we actually experience the landscape rather than the frozen image of a short exposure time. Not everyone is a fan of these long exposures but, for me, it tells a more accurate story of the landscape. This one-second exposure captured the flow of water away from the camera back out into the sea.

They don’t know who I am, I’m not a shill in disguise, but I do have an affiliate code thing just from being in their customer program so I mean yeah, I’m going to share it, cuz it’s $10 off for both parties. They have several other flavors and I’m already eyeing the Samhain (Pumpkin Spice), Circe (lemon and lavender), and Hecate (chocolate) flavors. Wytchwood does have plain maple syrup flavor and I’m sure you’d be able to taste the maple there, I just personally don’t get it in these ones. These don’t seem to taste like maple at all, which is honestly perfect for me. It’s ok but it’s not a favorite flavor to me. (I plan to try it out in lemonade soon)įull disclosure: I’m not like the biggest fan of maple. With Blodeuwedd I haven’t tried it on anything I just want to drink it. So far I’ve tried the Baba Yaga in some ginger tea (amazing) and on an apple/yogurt/granola bowl. swoon it’s this delicious liquid candied Violet flavor that I’m just licking off my fingers. The gingerbread is such real Ginger and the Marshmallow just rounds it out and both are equally present. I got Baba Yaga which is Gingerbread and Marshmallow flavored, and I got Blodeuwedd which is Violet flavored.
This is my first time buying from them, and I’m trying not to guzzle these syrups due to the cost- I don’t want to have to buy them often. They are pricey but something about the witchy aesthetic and the reviews just sucked me in.
I recently bought these flavored maple syrups from Wytchwood.
