Imbolc is Stenny's Wedding anniversary!!

2 Feb 2016

After all these years
Still joined, these two hearts
Spend our days all together
Never sleeping apart

The sound our life makes
Is the musick you hear
Together we're strong
With nothing to fear

We are Stenny
Still as ugly as the first day we met!

Greenz and true love!

The HURDY GURDY is BACK!!!

The original OMNIA hurdy gurdy (Jenny's one and only "Boarii")

Winterfood for thought...

28 Jan 2016

As winter switches off and on like a faulty street light ... making the outside temperatures jump up and down by 20 degrees on an almost daily basis...
The dutch fields seem to be turning into very flat shallow swamp lands holding more water than grass And the birds and the flowers act like spring is in full sway...

But life is still beautifull!
Stenny is trying to revive some of "that wintery feeling" by preparing some traditional dutch winterfood's like thick pea-soup "erwtensoep" and carrot/onion mash
"Hutspot"...

PhiloSofia

20 Jan 2016

Sofia has filled us with many many sights and emotions...
Now as the temperature plummets we prepare to leave to go back to our forest home and think about all we have encountered all the great experiences our friends from Irfan have given us...

Pagan Rituals in the snow!

17 Jan 2016

Yesterday were the traditional "kukeri" rituals in Bulgaria... (We were lucky enough to be able to witness this!) A really amazing pagan ritual which pre-dates even the greek and roman culture... Where local men dress up like fantastic horned beast men and dance with gigantic brass bells , beating drums and dancing to bless the village and drive out evil...

"Sic transit gloria mundi"

16 Jan 2016

All kings will be forgotten
All Gods shall come to fall
All things human break and crumble
Only Nature rules us all...

Living history

11 Jan 2016

Sofia is a metaphore..a living poem of spiritual times past... Slowly being engulfed by a relentless uncaring future.

Beautifull and melancholy
