shewhomust | Almost midsummer

Almost time to go to Lindisfarne and celebrate midsummer.

helenraven arrives tomorrow (must make spare bed; must clear path through displaced computer equipment to bed) and we drive up to the island on Saturday, arriving before the causeway is closed by the rising tide at three o'clock. D. and

valydiarosada will join us there, if not before the causeway closes then after it reopens.

And for the week that follows we will do the traditional mixture of getting up to watch the sunrise, going for walks, sitting indoors watching the rain fall... There may or may not be internet, depending on how hard we feel like looking for it.

What stands out for me about last year is not the solstice sunrise itself, but walking out alone in the evenings after dinner and enjoying the dusk and the sunset (around ten o'clock). I still haven't finished sorting the pictures I took in that week, but I doubt that I'll find one I like better than this.
