Morning CJ, orcs. Grey, wet. Lovely weekend of contrasts: hilarity & fun at ceilidh, sombre wreath-laying. Catch up calls with good friend & younger daughter, cleaned 6 prs of boots. Can’t get over the irony of BBC resignations circs, & Trump crowing. Busy day ahead at home. Enjoy Monday all 😙

Is that an eightsome reel?
I love Scottish country dancing at a ceilidh. Best when only two people in your set know what they are doing and direct everyone where to go. It’s the epitome of community. And so much fun. What a great way to make international friends across cultures.

"Across the U.K., young people are finding joy in the revival of traditional cultural practices like ceilidh, Morris and barn dancing, and taking an increasing interest in Pagan customs—from celebrating the solstice to wassailing."

Meet the Kids Bringing Back Pagan Britain
From Morris dancers in Day-Glo to TikTok troubadours and stone-circle pilgrimages, a new generation is rediscovering Britain’s folk traditions—but how are they resisting the trap of nationalism?

"This record follows the embrace of winter time; the closing in of darkness, the cold, the pull to turn inward. But also, the customs of the season, and gathering for the ceilidh: songs and stories told round the fire; where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur."
Getting the tea on now to the accompaniment of Brìghde Chaimbeul's Sunwise.

New painting.
‘A Waverley Ceilidh’, Edinburgh.
The architecture, lines, colour, laid bare in my mixed media, it needed extra. After visiting the city a few wks ago, I picked up mags/leaflets & used some to collage into my artwork. Happy.

Someone's never been to a Scottish wedding with a good Ceilidh band.
Major tip at Ceilidhs - Alway go to the bar when they announce that the next dance is the Orcadian Strip the Willow. Its far too complex for people that are well pished.
