It's the fifth day of our Autumn Equinox festivities, and we had quite a lot planned for today. It's nice to be off work, so we can have a bit of seasonal fun today.
Autumn Equinox Walk in the Park
This morning, I led a seasonal walk for Friends of Crumpsall Park. To be honest, it just descended into a mushroom hunt, but there were some beautiful specimens to be found.
Hannah’s Bookshelf Autumn Equinox Special
Then this afternoon it was my annual Hannah's Bookshelf Autumn Equinox Special on North Manchester FM, where I played seasonal flash fiction from 15 writers, played some seasonal music, and ate some apple pies with the volunteers at the community centre where the radio station is based.
Autumn Equinox Dinner
We had our traditional Autumn Equinox dinner of vegetarian meatloaf and root vegetable & saffron rice tonight.
Autumn Equinox Gifts
And after dinner we exchanged our traditional gifts and cards. These whiskies will go into the tasting set that we'll enjoy in December.
Dark Night of the Scarecrow
We rounded off the evening with the traditional Autumn Equinox film... Dark Night of the Scarecrow.
