Goodnight from Tony Smollet, slipping Mother Kemp’s malakins into the timber while volunteering to help build the St. John’s Eve bonefire. Goodnight from the Merry Maidens parade band, enjoying one last practice before summoning the Bone Horse tomorrow. Goodnight from Hookland.

Goodnight all ⭐️ 🎨Jo Grundy

I lay flat on the rooftop that warm evening, staring up at the #cosmos awed by the view. As far as I could see, were galaxies, too many to imagine filled with stars we'd never ever reach. Out there perhaps was another me staring at another cosmos, wondering what was out there. #blueskyrelay

Waves that whisper, storms that roar. A twilight sea on a shadowed shore. Winds carve secrets in the sand. As night unfolds its velvet hand. Dogs and dreams trace steps that fade. Wild hearts walk where oceans strayed.
