Thank you! That muse seems to be strong at the moment, I think I have another Emyn Arnen story cooking.
I thought of making this a May Day story, but then I discovered that Mothers' Night was an Old English name for the longest night, so went back to there. I suppose on reflection I could have done something drawing on the Queen of the May processions of my Catholic childhood, but I'm a sucker for Yule stories. It's Mothers' Day in the US at the weekend, so it sort of celebrates that too.
