imbolc

being a pagan festival to mark the 1st signs of spring...

and although people generally place it on the 1st or 2nd, i have seen the odd thing putting on the 4th...

yesterday, being the day she was born, was a lovely spring day, unlike the day before or indeed the day after, a rare glimpse of spring...

the festival is a fire festival, out with the old and in with the new, and what is newer than a baby's birth..?

the name is as yet undecided and i'm going to try and find a fire related name for her imbolc nature...

grace says she should be called violet or indigo, (although she also says that if she's called violtet she might turn into a blueberry)...

barbara or bridget maybe...?
