Midsummer: Day 4


The fourth day of our Midsummer celebrations and... well... it's another day that's mostly just about work. Ah well.

Darkness in the Fields




I managed to catch a couple of the sessions for this year's Darkness in the Fields - Midsummer online folk horror festival after work today. Great talk on creepypasta by Alex Davis, and then a really interesting Q&A with Andrew Michael Hurley.

Midsummer: Day 6


It's Midsummer Eve! Our penultimate day of seasonal celebrations! It was another busy day at work, so only a few little seasonal things today. We'll make up for it tomorrow though, as that's the big day.

New Midsummer Earrings



New earrings today! A pair of ice cream cornets!

Midsummer Tea Break!



Today I was drinking Pink Grapefruit from Bird and Blend Tea (in a brief pause between rain showers).

Darkness in the Fields: Midsummer




Another very enjoyable evening of Darkness in the Fields: Midsummer, with a talk on Thomas Hardy and the Folk Horror Tradition by Robert Edgar and Alan G. Smith, followed by an interview with Francine Toon. Thanks again to Alex Davis for organising and hosting.

Midsummer: Day 5


Another day of celebrating Midsummer for us! Well, sort of, as we were both at work today, so there wasn't a lot of celebrating. I did have a couple of nice seasonal things today though.

Darkness in the Fields: Midsummer




I really enjoyed tonight's Darkness in the Fields: Midsummer folk horror events - fascinating interviews with Kerry Hadley-Pryce and Mark Jenkin. Can't wait to see what tomorrow evening brings! Thanks to Alex Davis, Kelly White and Darrell Buxton for hosting and interviewing.

Midsummer Lemon Cake



Cake seems to be a bit of a theme this Midsummer. But I couldn't resist this lemon cake from the Spar shop today!
