Although it's not quite the end of our Imbolc week, it was the big night for us. Rob was on shift on Thursday, so Wednesday was the night of our Imbolc dinner and festive film. There were a couple of other things today as well...
‘Candlemas’
The next chapter in my seasonal reading (The Stations of the Sun by Ronald Hutton) was 'Candlemas'.
The Nesting
A bit of wintery tram reading today... The Nesting by C.J. Cooke.
Ronald Hutton Lecture
Not strictly seasonal, but I really enjoyed another wonderful public lecture by Ronald Hutton for Gresham College tonight, on Anglo-Saxon Pagan Gods this time. So interesting and informative (and, as always, entertaining).
Imbolc Dinner
Rob did us proud tonight with our traditional Imbolc Dinner of colcannon, followed by pear crumble.
Imbolc Gifts
We swapped our traditional Imbolc cards and gifts tonight. It's the start of another set of seasonal whiskies that we'll save to enjoy in December.
Groundhog Day
And, of course, we watched the festive film of the season tonight.
