The Solstice



Well, was it today or yesterday ...........damn these leap years?!!!!


Either way, it's here. A time for a moment of the longest day and the shortest night. The sun is at its highest and the Oak is supreme for one last time before the Holly reigns again. All is joy and bliss ...... or is it?


For me it is a time of deep thought as the wheel of the year turns slowly round and we begin to look inwardly toward the darker half.


At the allotment, and also emotionally and spiritually, we are reaping what we have sowed. We look at what we have planted and created and see what has been a success and what has failed. We now have the chance to start to plan for the future ..... but on a lighter note, to celebrate success - vegetable and otherwise!!!


So while all is lush and green around us and inspiration comes easily, the Awen flows through us while all life is bounteous......plan, plan, plan and stuff your face with courgettes !!!!


Blessed be at Alban Hefin xxxxxx
