Here’s my ‘woman cave’. It’s no mud hut, but because our house is over a hundred years old, it does have nice old bricks at least, as well as some Virginia creeper growing up the front and a wobbly roof. I collect the rainwater in whisky barrels. We used to have a lovely blue pine in the middle of the garden, but sadly it got blown down this winter during high winds, and took out our small hedge and some of the roofline with it! I think subconsciously, I’m still recreating Bag End all these years later, albeit a very high tech version, but I’d love a low-tech version—just wood and sticks and mud and glass. I have a grounding pillow, but I agree, there is nothing equivalent to actually sleeping truly grounded in a mud building.
