It's the big day! The culmination of our week of Spring Equinox celebrations (and the equinox itself, of course)! And I had lots of things planned for today.
Bailey’s Wood Walk and Talk
First up, I led a Spring Equinox Walk and Talk session for Friends of Bailey's Wood, spotting all the signs that spring has sprung in the woods (with cake and Vimto afterwards).
Castlerea Poetry in the Park
After the woods, I took the housemates from Castlerea Care Home to Crumpsall Park for a Spring Equinox Poetry in the Park session. We had a lovely time, with seasonal poetry and snacks, and a wander round the park looking for daffodils, blossom and buds.
Gingerbread Popcorn
A little late afternoon seasonal snack (it's got a rabbit on the packet so I'm counting it)... Gingerbread Popcorn from Joe and Seph's!
Spring Equinox Dinner
This evening, Rob cooked us the traditional Spring Equinox dinner of Vegetable Paella.
Spring Equinox Gifts
And we exchanged our traditional Spring Equinox gifts and cards. These whiskies will go into our tasting sets to be enjoyed in December.
Night of the Lepus
We watched our (now) traditional Ostara film tonight... Night of the Lepus!
And so the wheel of the year turns. We'll be celebrating again at Beltane.
