in Tawakalnistan and the surrounding regios of the United Kingdoms, Harvest festivals are currently being celebrated. I find them a rather charming reminder of a simpler time when people were closer to the means of food production, although mostly they tend to nowadays consist of children bringing the odd spare can of processed peas or Green Giant sweetcorn. Occasionally however you'll find someone's made the effort to make a decent corn-dolly and put on a decent spread, the proceeds usually going to charity. there's something rather haram about corn-dollies in my opinion but it's the thought that counts I suppose!

Are harvest festivals still celebrated in your neck of the woods? Does anyone still make the effort?

Incidentally, there was a proper harvest-moon shining tonight, which was pleasant to see, and if you were lucky, a partial lunar eclipse too. I didn't see it, too early and too low, obscured by the houses and trees sadly. I never see any of this stuff, it's either in the wrong position, or the wrong time of day, or it's overcast and raining.
