About greenmackenzie
Hi, I'm Seonaid, and I share my home on the shores of Loch Ness deep in the Scottish Highlands with my husband, my son and a collection of dogs, hens and a cat. I love art which is here now and gone tomorrow...like food and nature...but also have a passion for vintage and the ancient past! Nature is my favourite muse, with her wild ever shifting seasons.

Follow me along Shadow paths of dreams and thoughts Towards lights white lips. Persephone comes Trailing bluebells in her wake And earth gushes life. All is well within Deep under thick flower filled woods Spring flows eternal.

She passed peacefully Despite soft words of comfort Grief rips us open In memory of a dear friend, Ruth, who was cremated today. She made the world a brighter place, and filled it with laughter, mischief and creative passion. She … Continue reading →
