This month we will be looking for White or Silver. White is technically not a colour, white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. White is the lightest colour and is achromatic (having no hue). White is seen to be pure and clean. A wedding dress, the pure snow, a swan’s feather, fluffy clouds, milk and the Milky Way.
Silver is a precious metal, indicating wealth. “Born with a silver spoon in your mouth”. A cool colour. Sparkling silver water. The light of the moon. It represents feminine energy, pure, emotional and sensitive.
“Life is a train of moods
like a string of beads
and as we pass through them
they prove to be many-coloured lenses
which paint the world
their own hue,
and each shows only
what lies in its focus.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Look for the beauty of white or silver around you this month.

Aubergines / Eggplant / Brinjals are not to everyone’s taste, but to a non-meat eater they are often a substitute in many a meal. A ratatouille sauce – red onions, garlic, aubergines, courgettes, peppers and tomatoes, basil and thyme can be served with pasta, rice or just a hunk of crusty bread.
They come in all sorts of colours and shapes too. But despite the name I think this one is definitely purple!
Have You any Edible purples?
This is the last week for purple so get yours in before next Sunday when we move to a different colour.

This month we will be looking for Purple. A secondary colour made from red and blue, though you can find many different shades of purple. Try to stay clear of violet though as that will be making its own appearance. Although found in nature in shades of crocuses, lilacs, and irises look for the bruised colours in a sunrise or sunset, an indigo sea, a full moon in an inky sky. The darkness of a red wine, a rich velvet curtain or a starling’s wing.
And although a little late, I shall dedicate this one to World Bee Day.
There’s a website for World Bee Day that tells you all about the importance of bees and the essential role they play in the production of our food.
