Harvest Supper

Here are some decorations we have been making for our harvest supper tomorrow evening. Without wanting to sound ‘worthy’ I love Harvest Festival for its ability to incorporate celebration and prudence. It marks the turning of the seasons while asking us to count our blessings. It’s so easy to take for granted the presence of all those basics like clean water, a roof over our heads, and food to eat. It was also one of my favourite festivals to celebrate as child. Although I do have a vague memory of dressing up as a jammy dodger for one harvest assembly at school…I wonder what that was all about?! We are going to have roast duck with all the trimmings. Little Owl is busy colouring and glittering the decorations while I stitch name tags on her clothes as it’s back to school for us both next week.
