Summer isn't quite gone, but autumn has arrived - knocking quietly at the door. The Autumn Equinox marks the moment when day and night are almost equal in length, before the balance tips and darkness begins to take up more of the year. It is a time of harvest, gratitude and balance - but also of letting go.

A little later than usual, I’m arriving at Lammas – the first harvest. Traditionally celebrated around the 1st August, Lammas marks the beginning of the grain harvest and the point where summer begins its slow turn towards autumn.

The wheel turns once more and we arrive at Litha – the Summer Solstice. Falling around the 20th or 21st of June in the Northern Hemisphere, Litha marks the longest day and shortest night of the year.

There’s a moment, somewhere between late April and early May when the air changes. Not only how it looks, but how it sounds.
