A poetic altar in a Beech tree cathedral…the beautiful creation of the gorgeous folks who came to my walking workshop at Allen Valleys Folk Festival today💚🍂💫🌳

The most interesting conversations occurred, truly lovely folk came along, the festival was an absolute joy, I loved every moment📚🌳exploring to route from Birch to Beech, paper to book trees…held by a basketwork of roots and mycelium.

Huge thanks to the festival for inviting me and to everyone who came.

As promised if you wanted copies of The Time Traveller’s herbal David and Charles or Collected Curiosities Verbena Books in the Hexham Allendale area this week then please do order through my Botanica Fabula website https://www.botanicafabula.co.uk/shop-botanica-fabula/p/time-travellers-herbal-and-collected-curiosities-book-bundle and add code LDNE46 at checkout.

Really looking forward to sharing a herbal storytelling workshop at Allen Valleys Folk Festival this weekend🍂

We’ll be making our way through Deneholm woods to this incredible clearing amongst ancient Beech trees, said to have inspired W.H. Auden and to have been a place where John Wesley shared his thoughts and beliefs with the local mining community.

We will then be returning to the community centre for herbal tea😊
A few lovely folk have been asking if I will be selling copies of my latest book Collected Curiosities Verbena Books and the answer is yes, I will have some with me so do just mention if you would like one!

I’m also offering free delivery to Allendale, Hexham and Corbridge folk who want to order the book or The Time Traveller’s herbal between now and the 2nd of October, https://www.botanicafabula.co.uk/shop-botanica-fabula/p/time-travellers-herbal-and-collected-curiosities-book-bundle , just add code LDNE46 at checkout 😊🍂📚💫
