Wow.
This is amazing!!! I’ve read about Up Helly Aa but didn’t understand the ceremony. Couldn’t imagine it properly. Thank you so much for sharing. Wishing you good health, happiness and longer days!
Good night Hookland.

The ancient Druids called the autumn equinox Alban Elfed, the light of water. For them, it was a time of gratitude, reflection, and letting go. In Greek mythology, Persephone's descent into the underworld now begins, and with her, we too turn inward, entering the darker, dreamy half of the year.
I mean, look at it 😍

Thank you! Such a nice guy
Beautiful, healthy chili seedlings.

Anytime. I’m more of a lurker on here. Your posts about Rollie and relationships with the cats make me smile.
It’s messy but there are barely any surfaces. After the trash is out it’s a couple hours work of mopping and wiping down walls and shelves for a good deep clean. Your payment offer was fair. They were mean jerks to you. I’m sorry.
