Samhain Weekend

A photo diary of an amazing couple of days.......

in Dove Valley Centre's depths

in this beautifully restored eco barn



(A bit dark but you get the idea)
The (fabulous, diverse and comprehensive) creative writing workshop lead by

Elizabeth Wilson of Infinity Development

this is what I wrote....

Dove Valley Peace

Old wood creaks pen scratch laptop tap coffee smell senses feed

Soft Samhain sun falls in waves entices calls

Sound spirals thoughts curl words shape

Then to paper fall drip ooze or leak.

Barn sits square in stone oak lime and time

Soft greens thread the stony holy peaks

Long ploughmarks write the land with ancient song

Stone walls old castle earthworks cattle sheep farms

Life remains

Dove Valley

Cradles

Inspires

Sows seeds and peace

Spiral treasures from Rwanda

Apple Pickle

The best use for a cauldron, or was that the Bombay Potatoes?

and that night, in the stillness and calm

I honoured those who passed before,

placed this beautiful mica clad, ages old, air bubble

here, on my shrine, on top of the loo.

 I like to keep a sense of perspective!

Happy New Celtic Year

Love and Light
