Today is Midsummer, the longest day of the year, known and celebrated for generations as Summer Solstice.

This is the peak of the Solar year and the Sun is at the height of its life-giving power. The Earth is awash with fertility and fulfillment and this is a time of joy and celebration, of expansiveness and the celebration of achievements.

So, of course we had a fire festival in our wild forest skills area.

We cooked a vegan feast!

Sarah played her accordion and we sang along!

And Nigel performed some folk dancing for us!

We chatted, laughed and sunbathed around the fire.

We all had a fantastic day in the sun celebrating midsummer. Now back to the hard work! :-)
