The little village of St Germans, where I used to live, have revived an old and most lovely festival. I'm still trying to find out what it was actually all about, but it was pretty pagan and lots of fun! There was lots of greenery worn by all and music, dancing, and a goddess looking lass riding a beautiful horse!
The procession went through the village from the primary school to the pub via the stunning norman church.

Also, on a most random note (excuse the pun!)...
this is what happens when your 5 year old is very quiet for a good 5minutes...why she felt the need the write her name on all my post it notes and stick them to the window...why..? I do not know, but I did find it quite funny!
and this amazing portrait of the Queen! I thought it was crazy Simpsons hair but it was intended as the crown! The Queen also seems to be sporting a pair of fabulous green running shoes! Well she looks pretty happy and she certainly cheered me up! Loving the massive blue eyes too.
xxx Anyways folks, hope you are all well and happy xxx
Do you have any random interesting festivities in your homelands?? Or do you know anything about the May Tree thing??
Love from the Dotty Bird x
