The eve of a new decade

well, at least it is for one Lunicorn, and it's the one with four in it - yikes!!! The other Lunicorn is en route to the one with five in it (was that a slap I felt on the back of my head?)
It's been a busy week, mainly in and around Glasgow in a variety of call centres and hospitals with the Lunicorn wares. But tomorrow is most definitely a day off! Then it's up and at 'em again when we are hosting our stall at Tir-Na-Nog's crystal fair in Drymen. For those of you who know it, then you are already aware of Tir-Na-Nog's beauty, but for those who don't and live nearby, and want to do something magical this weekend, then you could do no better then visit Tir-Na-Nog. There's always freshly cooked bread and soup warming in De Danaan's Den straight from the stove of Big Rock Candy Mountain. And to pay for your cuisine, simply pop some cash in the honesty box on exit. Then take a trot across the courtyard to their wonderful shop in which you can find Lunicorn's presence along with a myriad of other mystical products. Tir-Na-Nog is like stepping into Brigadoon, except it's there to stay. So that's where we'll be on Saturday and Sunday along with our good friend and all round crystal guru Kendal with his wares. Then kicking into April with gigs on Monday, Tuesday before heading to Inverness for the Medusa Spring Fayre....where another crystal charmer Liam is hosting an event at the Royal Highland Hotel. We could write a book on Travelodges.....but now we have our 3 in 1 breakfast maker, it'll be like being a gypsy without the caravan and the horses. Anyway, if we decided to go down that route, we'd have to have unicorns leading our caravanette and folks might find that a strange site on the M90.
Ah, the time approaches to be pampered and milk the birthday thing for as long as one Lunicorn can.
For the last fifteen minutes of being thirty nine, I bid you goodnight from the Lunicorns.

Approaching the spring equinox...

So it's almost that time. The time for real new year resolutions, the time when they might actually happen....if you do nothing else on Mch 21st - sit down, light a candle, maybe burn some incense, be conscious of your breathing, and affirm. This is the best time to write down what you'd like to achieve this year. We as the Lunicorns do it with our 'believe' box, when we seal our ambitions for the year ahead. So make a note in your diary....
So, what's been happening? Well, we've been travelling about plenty. It's true, the snow did come to Aberdeen whilst we were there. On the journey up at the ungodly hour of five in the morning, we did kinda wonder what the fuss was all about, then 40 miles from Aberdeen, complete whiteout. Being a bit of a woos when it comes to driving, I realised the only way was forward, as we couldn't even see the road edge. If anything, the weather bonded all us stallholders at the Body & Soul fair even more. After the fair, we clambered over fields of snow like weans and threw snowballs and built snowmen. Aberdeen is a fabulous city and we love it! And Travelodges are pretty cool too, particularly as we have now employed our very own toaster on the premises for hot buttered breakfasts in the morning. And wait for it, soon to arrive, is our very own three in one breakfast maker, so not only can we make toast, but we can fry an egg too. As one Lunicorn approaches her 40th year on this planet, she realises how very sad she has become. Anyhoo, as if snow up north wasn't enough, we had blooming 12 inches in Glasgow this weekend too! What's happening, is this not supposed to be Spring? The time to start the gardening? Still never cast a cloot till May is oot, as my mother always says. That said, one Lunicornette had a coffee with her friend Suzanne in the midst of the Glasgow snowfall. As she sat there with bedraggled hair, trackie bottoms tucked into walking boots, hat, gloves, scarf etc., in wafted Suzanne with a glamorous black coat and foxy black boots. In an instant, the coat was off, a hair not out of place, and revealed a summer floaty top. How does she do it?
In addition to our usual Mind, Body & Spirit type fayres, we've been setting out the Lunicorn stall at a variety of call centres and hospitals in Scotland and so far the response has been good. The dates aren't on our website, as more often than not, they're not a public event, only open to staff. However, that's not to say you can't enjoy the Lunicorn experience yourself - you know the website!

On the road again

Well here we are in March - where have the last two months gone? It's been fairly frenetic here at the Lunicorn camp. Now lunicorning full-time, we've been getting out and about big time. Realised that there are spiritual people everywhere, not just the mind, body & spirit type shows, so we've been taking the Lunicorn roadshow to companies far and wide. From multinationals in Aberdeen to contact centres in Airdrie, Lunicorn is being well received. Still, with news of snow up North, the Lunicorns may have to read the car manual to find out how the 4 x 4 thingy works on slushy roads.
What are we enjoying most this year? People. People with really good energies and no agendas. Collaborations are appearing as if by magic with people we are very proud to be associated with. It feels like now we've made the full-time commitment to Lunicorn, doors are opening and a warm welcome awaits us. We've changed OUR thinking and the universe is responding bigtime. So thank you universe!And on that note, we're off to re-stock before our next big adventure.
Love & light
The Lunicorns
