Today we celebrated Martinmas down here in the Southern Hemisphere. My children just love the festivals and so look forward to them! We sang songs today, listened to the story of St Martin and prepared our lanterns from glass jars with tissue paper stuck inside. When the candle is lit it looks so beautiful. We have just returned inside after our lantern walk. The grass was full of dew, the night was lit by the waxing moon , we walked and sang through our herb garden, it was lovely……

A beautiful description, I can almost smell the moonlit herbs as you wander through. Happy Martinmas.
