It's the first day of our Midsummer celebrations! After a muted Spring Equinox and a Beltane curtailed by illness, we're really looking forward to at least some festivities this season. Fingers crossed we're not completely cursed! Today was all about our now traditional Midsummer picnic at a stone circle, though we stayed a little closer to home than last year.
Cheetham Close Stone Circle
This afternoon, we went hunting for a (sort of) stone circle in (almost) Greater Manchester. Cheetham Close is a megalithic site on the moors above Egerton in Bolton. It's the site of an early Bronze Age stone circle that was destroyed by a farmer with a sledgehammer in the 1870s. There are still remains that can be spotted, if you know where to look.
Midsummer Tea
We took a moment to take in the atmosphere of the season and the setting at Cheetham Close. There's only one tea that's perfect for drinking in the remains of a stone circle above Lancashire... Fairies Chapel from The Tea Crew!
