Calling spirits, The Fall, and the Fancy dress party.

I'm with the C, and we are preparing to call the spirits,

 O has asked L to call in, and has given a song, because L doesn't feel confident, but L gets one word wrong, and this little difference makes all the difference. it now comes across as all very religious. O now comes across as this christian religious leader, which makes us all feel a little uncomfortable. Its the guru worship syndrome. --------

 I meet Ma by a holly tree which she has really connected with. Its amazing how she is relating to it. -----

 Now I'm with Rhi, we are climbing up a big tower, with a huge stair well in between. The stairs are spiraling up the outside of the tower. At the top, there are these buttresses that stick out above the stairwell, tempting one to climb on them, but it would be ridiculous to actually do so, as the drop down the middle is hundreds of meters below. Rhi decides to climb out on them, why is she tempting fate I wonder? I am surprised at her boldness and confidence to do this, like the man on the wire. But she doesn't have the experience to do this, surely?. Her parents see her, and tell her to get down, but she ignors there warnings and concerns. I tell her to do what her parents say, as I can see she is not wearing the proper shoes for such acrobatics, or has the balancing skills.

 She slips.

 She falls.

 At an angle, she doesn't fall straight down the middle, but to the side, and only falls about 3 floors worth of steps. It is still a very bad fall, but thankfully she has not killed herself. Our hearts are beating intensely, and we rush down the stairs to help her.

 I'm at coed, and I am chatting with rich. We have been showing a group of people round the forest garden, and we are now in the top corner of the garden, where there is loads of horsetail. I dig some up, and it has a huge tuber on it, just like a jerusalem artichoke, so I ask Rich if you can eat it. He tells me its a different horse tail from our usual english one, this is japanese horsetail, and its a worse weed than the normal one. Still, I want to try it out. It seems like it might just be edible, and if so, then there's loads of it to be eaten!

 I have brought a sample of leaves, a bit growing near spring wellow. To compare it with. It looks like coltsfoot or jerusalem artichoke leaves now. I show to rich.

 Rich now shows me all the mushrooms me has found. Lots of beautiful shapes and colours they are, found all around the fields. There are lots more coming up. Some of them are magical psychedelic ones. Now Coed has a party going on. Rawley has turned the old school into the most amazing party venue you could imagine, and there are hundreds of people walking around in fancy dress. Maria is showing off two of her Alice in wonderland costumes, one like Rabbit, and the other like the Cheshire cat.

 Kate is wearing a massive wig, like a giant afro. It looks great.

The music is fantastic, very electronic and trippy. James, marie, noah and nel are all there too, it must be a crazy new experience for noah an nel. There is a powerful spirit of love moving through the place, in the people and in the music. I am almost crying I am so moved by it all. Noah nearly gets lost int the crowds of people, but I signal him like a dog, which shows him where to go and where to follow.

 Simon n jude are working in cafe, cooking. Mum is enjoying dancing to the music. I have not seen dad yet, but I know he is here somewhere.
