Midsummers Night Dream...

Wishing you all the magic of the summer solstice...
Believe in the magic 
*********
It is good for the soul.
It is there in your very own back garden to see.

( thank you kindly Google for the magical picture)
Eat fairy cakes and drink Elderberry champagne, today!
And dance around your beautiful gardens!
hehe, only jesting! ( Willie)
For this is the longest day of the year...
~And may the potent Midsummer spell never be broken for you.
~ Take time to dream...

    By night we will sit under the stars and watch the fairies dance with the beautiful Luna moths.

  3. ..and you too maria x ...it is always special for me because i re-met an old boyfriend 16 years ago on this very day....he got stuck in a traffic jam at stonehenge and nearly didn't make our date......but suddenly the cars started moving just as he was about to turn around and give up......thank goodness the midsummer magic was working because he is now my lovely husband!x

  4. I was so relieved to find out that today is not the 'middle' of the summer weather as it takes the first half to warm up so the best is yet to come, yay! EE xx

  6. I'll eat fairy cakes...and drink elderberry
    champagne...And, dance round my beautiful
    garden...HeHe! (If the money's right). :).
    And keep my cloths on......!!!

    Did you see the thousands of people at Stonehenge.
    Goodness! I've seen it just once, driving past it.
    Was'nt very impressed....You'd think they'd put a
    roof on it...! :>).

    Seriously though...Love the picture of the pink fairies
    up there....Seen a few of those in my time...! :=).
    Loads of them at the bottom of my garden, all around the
    pond...Playing leap-frog....With the frogs....! And, listening
    to Hip-Hop music...

    Happy Solstice to one and all....Have a lovely loooooong day!
    Now...
    What's the difference between a northern fairy tale, and southern
    fairy tale.....?
    Northern fairy tale..Starts...Once upon a time....
    Southern fairy tale..Starts...Y'all gonna believe this rubbish....
    HeHe! (Edited by me to clean it up a bit).

  7. Lovely pic...it reminds me of a print from the book Water Babies by Charles Kingsley. I don't know what edition I read as a child but I remember the prints made me believe in fairies and water babies of course. They were so magical!
    Special special day as the local festival begins here today very much a welcome to the summer festival. You can practically feel the simmering excitement in the air and there will be plenty of dancing...and merriment and yes...alllllll night long :-)

    Happy solstice Maria xx

    Looking out of the window today, it's hard to believe that we were sitting on deckchairs drinking pink lemonade in the sunshine, only the other day!

    Love Claire xx
