Glastonbury Tor is steeped in history, lore and atmosphere. It feels like you are in another world, even now with so many tourists it maintains it's magic. There are so many wonderful things to visit when you go. From the Chalice Well to the Abbey's herb garden. It all adds to the layers of meaning and magic. I've added a Hawthorn to reference the Glastonbury thorn and also represent my love of foraging for these berries in winter. When there is little else to find this fruit makes pleasing fruit leathers, ketchups and cordials. 

Blackbirds are members of the thrush family and the males especially are beautiful and striking. It is said to be extremely lucky if you see two male blackbirds together and they are also said to indicate a change in the weather. There is something about their nocturnal birdsong which is reassuring whilst also unsettling and haunting at the same time, which I love.
