Sunday was different - Sunday meant driving to work wearing twisted twiggy horns, with wild green tinged hair and elf ears poking through the tangles. It meant having a green face with sigil-esque marks on my forehead and cheeks.
Sunday was a special festival for adults with learning difficulties and/or autism and we all became magickal folk for the day - there were dryads, butterflies, fairies and wizards..jpg)
And the title ? Epimelides Dryad? - a tree sprite specifically associated with fruiting trees in particular apples, now seeing that Hawthorns are the same family and what I do for a living, it felt right.
I am lucky that where I work - the volunteers and staff are amazing folk and step up to the mark when asked.

PS when I finally returned home ready to wash my hedge-backwards hair and fae-face I found out that Himself has switched the water off while he was tacking the dodgy plumbing in the kitchen .... oh well - might as well be green a little longer....!
So basically you went to work dressed as yourself. 🤣 🥰
ReplyDeleteHope your water problem was fixed quickly, x
Yes! That EXACTLY!
DeleteWater back on, face clean, hair washed, pointy ears and twiggy horns packed away ....... until next time mwhahahaha!
❤️ you make a lovely dryad x
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteLove the dress, colour just right. Lucky find. Not sure about the green hair and skin. Imagine if you had been stopped for speeding on the way to work!! xx
ReplyDelete❤️
DeleteIs this not the new look then? x
ReplyDeleteWell.... not so much new as visible!🤣
DeleteHow perspicacious of both you and Bag End Gardener - and what a heartwarming post. Long may the dryad endure!
ReplyDeleteThe new epoch of the dryad - begins right here right now😊
DeleteI saw the picture of the 'green dryad' on a recent FB post of where you work and thought she looked familiar! Now I know I was correct. You certainly give your work 110%.
