@nufrankz @carloshr nada mejor que la satisfacción de terminar el aseo y el lavado temprano, y disfrutar ese café con un 'me lo merezco' #oldways

Are there any hybrid crystal shops and coffee shops? Cuz that needs to be a thing. #oldways #newways

I'd love to see a more #sustainable version of local forestry, especially with the winds that hammer my village.

Imbolc. St Brigid's Day. 1st of February.

Imbolc is recorded in early medieval Irish sources and was also historically celebrated in Scotland and the Isle of Man. It's generally believed that the origin is older, pre-Christian, and the date is important to many modern pagans as the start of spring. It's also the feast day of St Brigid, mother saint of Ireland, and traditions included the weaving of Brigid's Crosses from rushes. Many believe that Brigid is a Christianised version of a pre-Christian goddess, although she is also recorded as a real historic figure who founded the Abbey of Kildare. It may be that two figures have been conflated.

Imbolc is not recorded as ever being celebrated here in Northumberland, but the reasons for celebrating it as an agricultural festival would have been just as important here. The season for sowing, the start of the lambing, the return of the light, and the promise of warmer, less lean days to come.

What’s your favourite ancient monument?
Here’s my local stone circle at Stanton Drew (in Somerset).
There are 3 circles + other features that combine to make it the 3rd largest complex of standing stones in England.
In the garden of the village pub - the Druid’s Arms - is a collapsed burial chamber that predates the stone circles.
Worth stopping for a pint 🍻

Has everyone got a favourite tree? Here’s mine.
It’s an oak known locally as the Elephant Tree (see second photo) and it lives in a beautiful little remnant of the ancient Windsor Forest.
I’d love to hear about / see anybody else’s favourite tree! 🌳
