summer solstice

[witchnettle]

would like to say happy solstice to you all x
mid-day is the time to stop and raise your face to the bright sunshine, this is the sun at its highest point for the whole year.
may i share with you a little moment of peace .........

Just relax and let the sun warm your face and feel the heat fill your body.
Take a deep breath and think "breathing in i calm my body, breathing out i smile"
and then smile .......

and thank whichever God you worship for the greatness that is the great wheel of nature and life.

and here endeth your pagan homework for today, you are now free to go and have lots of fun......

This Saturday morning I am up, dressed, have checked my calving cows and am all set to embark on a walk around the cliff bottom and water's edge path to Kildaloig where I stashed my bike last night then to cycle home the main road.

Will be great to see the sun coming up away up above Arran on pretty near the longest day!

Round these cliffs will be quite a place to be at this very atmospheric time...always like to be there at sunset on the winter solstice too....droll, I know

Hippy Dippy ...Love and peace man and Kool in the Kaftan and all that!

I'm away now.....gonna be a bit spooky round there!

hope you have a happy day gen x
we went over to ballochroy last night to watch the sunset behind the Paps of Jura and it was spectacular, very special.
it was quiter than usual and we put that down to the fact it was on the 20th this year, probably threw a lot of folk.
There were a few locals there, myself and my lot from carradale and a group of four from town, one of whom said she will post some photos on the forum so looking forward to seeing them x

I'm back.....jeeezo, that is no easy walk! well, North of St Kieran's cave back to Kildalog there is a path.....but before that is hard hard going....enjoyable though. Took me 2h 45m to the Second Waters another 45 mins (stopped at St K's cave for a while) from there to my bike and 19 mins from there into the radio station where I changed out of walking gear into running stuff....about 50 mins on the bike back here...

I saw the sun coming up over Arran but it was not nearly as far North as I imagined or thought I remembered....only about half way up.

Need to try Ballochroy next year Witchnettle...or maybe on the shortest day.
