Slow Days in a Shepherd's Hut - Foraging, Painting & Slow Living

#slowliving #foraging #countrylife There are some places that slow you down the moment you arrive. This was one of them 🌿 I spent a few slow, quiet days in a shepherd's hut nestled in the South Downs, just outside the beautiful town of Petworth in West Sussex. Mornings began gently, painting in the soft light, writing poetry and reflections, losing myself in a book while the birds filled the silence around me. In between I wove my very own foraging basket out of willow at a spring festival at Petworth National Trust, then as golden hour crept in, I took it out into the countryside to forage wild garlic to add to my dinner. There's something quietly magical about making something from scratch and then using it.
