On With The Show



While all our guests entertained themselves and each other back at Glenloth, I was busy up at Mayday Hills with our first performance of Wind in the Willows.

It wasn't a bad day up there in the gardens, but as we started, it grew colder and colder. I'm not sure about the cast, but we musicians were popsicles. My flute was like a frozen rod of ice. At the very end of the show, I even lost the low notes because the lower end of the flute froze. Now that's cold!

But, as they say, the show must go on, and on it did go to a wonderful audience who loved every minute of it.

For our second performance at Mayday Hills, we set up inside. It was even colder that day so we were all grateful for the warmth of the great indoors.





Our performances went really well and both audiences loved the show. Our next performance of Wind in the Willows is going to be at the Albury Botanical Gardens at the end of this week.

I'm looking forward to it. The weather is supposed to be warmer too, so let us all keep our fingers crossed for that!

Casting the Stones

Long before the Tarot became synonymous with fortune telling, Gypsies used the natural world around them to help them see into the troubled hearts of those who came seeking knowledge and guidance.
River stones, gems, crystals, sticks, needles and bones were often used by the dunkerer [dukkerer] or palm reader.
I love using my own set of river stones that I personally hand picked and charged with healing energy.
When I read, I'm not so much telling a fortune, as looking into the heart of the energy surrounding the person I'm reading for. I believe this gives a more accurate insight into what is at the heart of a problem or situation and can provide real, down to earth ways of helping people deal with what life sometimes throws at them.
Casting the stones is something I love and I hope to continue with my readings for as long as life will allow.
