Spring water

Today we collected our spring water.  We are lucky enough to live within walking distance of two springs in Glastonbury.  We have four really big Kleen canteen steel water bottles which we use.  Some people collect their water in Demi johns, but as we walk to the spring we need something which is not so heavy and not likely to break.  

Elmo and our bottles

Love one another

Filling up at the white spring

All filled up and ready to go home.  We fill up half with red spring water which is high in iron and comes from chalice well and half of each bottle is filled with white spring water which is rich in calcium and comes from under the Tor.  We use this as our cold drinking water, it would be lovely to use it for cooking too but we cannot collect enough at the moment.  I think it is really important to thank the water before and as we are collecting and drinking it.  It flows within us and becomes part of us to love and thank it helps bring positive energy into us in a really simple way.  We have steel drinks bottles that we use whenever we go out for the day, so we don't have to buy plastic throw away bottles.
