I just wanted to share a photo of my little christmas tree.
The spinning wheel that I have mentioned previously is behind it.

Tiny christmas tree

Seasons greetings to you all!

I never did mention the seagull incident to the landlord, and as for the bird itself, waste not want not:

Seagull Feather fan!

I think that the seagull might have liked it’s alternative future, being detested less than when it was alive. His first outing was in a Samhain group ritual and for the rest of the time the fan has been sitting next to the fireplace at home.

The fan is made from the longest wing and tail feathers, soaked overnight in a strong Virkon solution [Virkon kills bacteria for foot & mouth, e-coli etc.]. The filaments don’t bind together as well as they used to but at least the feathers are now safe. The handle is made from an old wooden spoon, some leftover linen and linen thread, a leftover leather scrap and a larger rectangle of chamois leather.

I have just moved my blog over to WordPress. I think this place has better facilities.

Blogs are funny things. You get one and think about rattling away about just about anything, then you sit back and censor yourself until you have nothing to write.

You don’t want to get too personal.
You don’t want to badmouth people and hurt their feelings.
You don’t want to say anything you could be pulled back up for later.
The things you want to get off your chest become unmentionable and sound stupid anyway.

I’ll just begin by saying “Hi!”

I have decided that I will be using this blog for occasional chatter, talk about my pet chinchillas, exploring experiences and thoughts on druidry, etc.
