Happy Lammas to you all. We are sat in the countryside, not 20 feet opposite a lovely large corn field which was harvested last night. The French it seems harvests at night all the time (we might too, it's just I've never seen it done then before) and the smell this morning is beautiful. The sun is shinning and the heat is high already (yeast out bubbling ready for the loaves in a moment).
So we asked if we could have a lttle of the corn, the farmer has left some in what appears to be no-man's land, amazing how far those seed throwers spread, and have started to make some dollies and a John Barleycorn crown for littleun.
All we did was plait 6 together for one side, six for the other and then with some course string tie them to form a round.
After that we weaved the remaining heads into the plaits and very quickly the crown formed. Littleun will wear it later when we have our meditation and give thanks. Later we are heading to a Dolmen, been there before and its lovely and peaceful, tucked away in a corn field we can connect with the earth so easily there.
Hope you all hve fantastic day, wherever you may be. BB

I really love your crown, looks beautiful x
Thankyou, littleun had fun wearing it all day. Was a great Lammas rounded off by a bit of a ride on the horses through the forest.
