Celebrating the light dragonflies damsel flies and water lilies -watching films curated by the stone club @thestoneclub courtesy of the watershed Bristol so … creating memories of the light fantastic we experience at this point of the year as you so beautifully curated for us … with outstanding performance by citrus fruit 👏
Really loved this Lia and it has reminded me of how important it is to acknowledge the wonder of the seasons and mother nature as well as the astrological side! Thank you :-)
Don’t be lonely; we all love what you do for us and appreciate it greatly. I’d love to join your midsummer feast, but we are in the States. Celebrating with you in spirit: I’ll be teaching a workshop on Saturday called Book Arts 101: Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts at Florida Atlantic University Libraries, then heading home for a Midsommar feast—a special carried-out affair from our local Swedish restaurant.
If any of your readers would care to join me on St. John’s Eve (I’d invite you, Lia, but I think you’ll be at your midsummer celebration), I’ll be hosting a midsummer version of a weekly online letter writing social from 2 to 5 PM Eastern Daylight Time (I’m pretty sure that’s 20:00 to 23:00 in the UK) called Real Mail Fridays: Midsummer Social on Friday. It’s on Zoom. There’s a link to be found at jaffecollection.org .
Happy Midsummer to you and all your readers. The Almanac is one of my favorite things!
I think Orpine is Hylotelephium telephium (what we used to call Sedum telephium). Not sure how good it would be as a decoration, though, since it's a fleshy succulent!
I agree. I always love the idea of mid summer but it can be quite exhausting. There is a definite feeling of relief that we are over the hump back on the descent to cosier seasons. Ps this video is a perfect example of a quiet moment. Thank you :)
I loved this, thank you! There’s something about midsummer’s day that makes me feel a little sad, that the days will start shortening again. But much to savour and enjoy in this moment too.
Really interesting, thank you! I agree about sometimes finding this time of year a bit full on, and needing to find a quiet corner. x
Yes that’s very much me…

What wonderful plans. Your ‘book of days’ looks fascinating. Will be diving in!
Oh, thank you. I'd be honored if you did!
Thank you x

Thanks Lia, I really enjoyed hearing this, and being reminded of just how special this luminous moment in the year is!
Thank you!
