Whitsun, or White Sunday, the seventh sunday after Easter. Well, it originated as a pagan celebration and then it became a Christian one. We all dressed up in white and went on a donkey walk. Megan, who always likes to drag someone else around with her is very busy at the moment with a football. Nothing else matters.

Candlemas Day, hinting at the hope that spring will succeed winter. Earth candles are lit to offer encouragement and hope. We have dug out a hole for our candle, and the light was on for about two days and two nights, when a storm came and blew out our candles.

St John’s Day, 24th June, is celebrated with the whole community playing outside, a huge bonfire and shared picnic. This is the festival of the summer solstice. A serpent of fire rises above our heads, spitting, spewing flame after flame. Bits of ash are dancing in the wind.
