Beltane Celebrations

Well my lovely chums Summer must be upon us, as I have waxed my legs (with bargain wax strips from Poundland, 99% natural ingredients and cost of £1.12 to do both legs). I have also given myself a pedicure and tinted my eyebrows and eyelashes. Actually the Mr very kindly does my eyelashes for me, he's super nice like that. If I had visited a salon for these treatments I'm guessing I would have paid around £100. So I'm feeling very pleased with myself. Who said smug?

The reason for all of this body maintenance is of course the change in weather in Blighty but also because tomorrow I'm away to Italy for a very exciting event.

It has been organised by a wonderful woman I met last year at a retreat. Each day has planned events, workshops and all sorts of exciting activities. I'm hoping meeting all these very special folk will be spiritually transformative, there is always room for personal growth, no? There is a Floral Beltane ceremony on Saturday and I'm feeling very honoured to be selected as the second flower girl in the procession. We will be making floral headdresses on the day before. I'm hoping I might be able to dry my headdress and bring it home as a keepsake. I'll do my best to capture some images for a blog post when I return. In other news I have managed to get my head around the vintage Fair Isle pattern and I'm enjoying the process. I'm toying with the idea of knitting the back in plain navy, which would then mean I could make another one to gift or sell.
