Imbolc to Alban Eiler 2011: What we sowed/planted
This kind of information is available in lots of different places (here and here for example) so really, this is more for me as an aide memoire. But in case it’s useful, here it is. I’ve done it in the … Continue reading

Long time no blog. Too much time doing, not enough time writing.
