The big day is here! And, to be honest, we're absolutely shattered now! I think it's fair to say we've given our Beltane celebrations a really good go this year. We weren't quite as full-on as we are for Halloween, but I think this was a good try. Maybe next year we'll go even bigger with it, because I have to admit I love Beltane now (though, obviously, Halloween and Christmas are still the best).
Friends of Crumpsall Park Beltane Litter-Pick
The Friends of Crumpsall Park litter-pick is held on the first Sunday of every month, so it fell today. And, like yesterday's litter-pick, it had a Beltane theme this time. We had another go at making Beltane story sticks while we travelled round the park, though mine turned out a bit more Goth than the one I made yesterday.
Springtime Bath Bomb
A lovely little gift from Rob for a bit of seasonal relaxation!
Beltane Dinner
May Day concluded for us with the (now) traditional Beltane Dinner of sausage casserole, followed by strawberries and cream.
The Wicker Man
And what else could we watch to accompany our Beltane Dinner than The Wicker Man (the 1973 version... obviously!).
Beltane Gifts
We ended the night by sharing our (now) traditional gifts - more whisky (or Calvados this time for Rob) to add to our seasonal tasting sets that we'll enjoy at Christmas.
And so the wheel of the year turns... We'll be celebrating again at Midsummer.
