It's the big day! The finale of our first ever Autumnal Equinox celebrations. I think we've done the season proud again, and we're ready to prepare for the big ones that are coming! Here's how we celebrated to today though...
Autumn Equinox Earrings
My final pair of Autumn Equinox earrings... a harvest bonanza!
Poetry in the Park
This afternoon, I took some of the residents of Castlerea Care Home to Crumpsall Park to do our weekly poetry session outside for a change. We enjoyed the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness with poetry, a walk, creating Autumn Equinox story stick and some apple pies.
Mabon Dinner
We finished our week of celebrating the start of autumn with the (now)traditional Autumn Equinox dinner of (not)meatloaf and root vegetable rice, followed by spiced ginger sponge pudding.
Timorous Beastie Whisky
A little seasonal tipple this evening... Timorous Beastie whisky from Douglas Laing & Co. (I know the poem is set in November, but it feels close enough.)
Mabon Gifts
We ended the evening by exchanging seasonal gifts and cards. These whiskies will go with the others we've given each other during the year, then we'll have them at Christmas.
And so the wheel of the year turns... We'll be celebrating again at Halloween. And as we're doing 31 Days of Halloween again (starting on 1st October)... the wheel is turning pretty quickly this time.
