Very much looking forward to our Lammas Community gathering tomorrow. Have a wonderful month everyone x

Hello, August, shining bright,
A month of warmth and golden light.
Fields in bloom, skies so blue,
A time for dreams and skies anew.

The days grow long, the nights are sweet,
Summer’s heartbeat
A gentle whisper, nature’s song,
August, here, where all belongs.

May warmth and joy fill every day,
As summer gently fades away.
Hello, August, in your glow,
A time of love, joy and flow.
