Wise words

I collect wise words and write them in sketch books. Sometime they help make sense of the world. Have a fantastic weekend : )

Harvest Festival

At primary school we always had a harvest festival assembly in September. The centre piece was a spectacular sculptural work of art made out of bread. I remember being intrigued by it's intricacy and it's massive size. We were encouraged to collect leaves, conkers and berries to add to what I now realise was a display of gratitude (I went to a very religious school). We also had to donate tins and jars of preserved food that we took to local old folk (the old lady I met had no teeth and frightened me to death). It was quite an event and helping with the display was defo my favourite part of the Autumn term.
