It's the penultimate day of us celebrating the beginning of autumn, and oh boy! we've got a lot going on today.
Crumpsall Park Autumn Equinox Walk
This morning, I led a gentle, social walk for Friends of Crumpsall Park to enjoy the changing seasons in the park (especially the trees!).
Hannah’s Bookshelf Autumn Equinox Special
This afternoon was my Hannah's Bookshelf Autumn Equinox Special on North Manchester FM, where I shared some folklore of the season, but also played a selection of original, seasonal flash fiction from some fantastic writers who contibuted to the show. Also... I brought in apple pies for the volunteers at the community centre where the radio station is based.
Cherry Pie
I've had a LOT of apple pie so far this autumn, so I thought I'd mix it up and have cherry.
Bailey’s Wood Autumn Equinox Walk
After the radio show, I led a seasonal walk for Friends of Bailey's Wood, sharing folklore and stories of the season and enjoying the woods getting its autumn clothes on.
Autumn Equinox Dinner
Tonight was our Autumn Equinox Dinner, and Rob made us the traditional meal of meatloaf and root vegetable rice, followed by blackberry crumble (made with blackberries I picked when I went mad for brambling at the end of the summer).
Autumn Equinox Gifts
After dinner, we shared our traditional Autumn Equinox cards and gifts. Two more whiskies to add to the tasting set we'll be enjoying in December.
Dark Night of the Scarecrow
For the past couple of years, we've struggled to find a film that could be our regular seasonal film (we've got one for all the other seasons). But... the quest is over! Our (newly) traditional Autumn Equinox film is Dark Night of the Scarecrow!
