Celebrating summer
Yesterday I was out exploring in East Kilbride. Down by the Rotten Calder, everything was green, the trees were in the height of their summer colour, ferns as bright as you'll see them, raspberries nearly ripe. Out in the Glen Esk pocket park, it's already beginning to feel like harvest time. The long grass turning straw-like with the heat, the flowers not as colourful as they were a couple of weeks ago. This is Lammas or Lughnasadh (pronounced Loonasa)- or even Loaf-Mas
