Bluster

A very windy day here today. I woke up early with period pain so was up about 5.30 - only to promptly fall asleep on the sofa again until nearly 8.00! Yesterday was a bit of a write off but I have been feeling better as the day goes on and a walk around the local lake finally brought me back to (or out of) myself.

Tonight I will be out dancing for the first time in over a month. We are going to wassail the apple trees at a nearby farm. I love old traditions like that - things that people in our little corners of the world have been doing for centuries have a kind of power. They make one feel connected to the land, and to all the generations that have gone before.
