Beacon Hill
Today we woke up and headed off to Leicestershire for a druidic solstice celebration. Shaz had been a little disappointed not to find anything going on around here for the solstice (although it turns out there might have been, just not very well advertised) and so I did some 'net searching and found a group not too far away (about an hour and a half drive) who were doing a public ceremony on Beacon Hill near Loughborough. The weather was dreadful on the drive down there, and I expected a pretty water logged celebration. However the people were exceptionally friendly and open, and the ritual itself (which even I as an observer found to be moving and powerful) took place under warm sunshine (which started as soon as the spirit of the hill was invoked and finished just as quickly when the circle was broken). Read into that whatever you will.
Right now however, we're both extremely tired; it's been a very long and trying weekend, and I for one am not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow. In fact I'm struggling to keep my eyes open as I type, I feel like there is some external force pushing my eye-lids closed (which was less than ideal on the drive back!). So we're gonna curl up in bed, watch some Buffy and Supernatural, and then fall gently asleep and dream wonderful dreams...
