"Would I could go back to a time when simple rustic folk danced the sun up on May morning, brought in greenery and yule logs at Christmas, sang the harvest home... but I can't. That is a romantic dream and we are divorced from the old folk ways. Fake replication without meaning is all that remains."

In Chiswick or Chepstow, maybe, yet...

Kopivosian Tadau Ka’amatan!

Homowo!

Alkhalalalaj!

And no matter how cynical and ultra-westernised I might be, just the simple action of serendipity in finding a few handfuls of cornstalks laid carefully in the (now defunct?) Chapel of Brigit at Glastonbury, moved me to big gay tears.

The joy of harvest only recedes under a tide of gluttony. Gluttony never lasts ;-)
