There would be dancing around a may pole and people would secretly leave flowers on others doorstep. Lovely customs, so sad that they die out.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512195350501287945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-24301122683001764342012-04-14T15:26:01.699-06:002012-04-14T15:26:01.699-06:00Hey Tina,
How wonderful and some of the traditions...Hey Tina,<br />How wonderful and some of the traditions you note are rather similar to what they get up to in lil' ol' England. They have the Maypole dancers during what is called "Well Dressing". <br />Summer solstice is a big deal in the town I live. Leek is famous for its "double sunset" on the summer solstice and strange folks with long hair and weird beads, dance the night away in this town. Of course I'm involved :)<br />Oh, by the way, I did my "M" posting on the challenge I'm not involved in, on Friday the 13th :)<br />Have fun, enjoy the alphabet challenge. Kind wishes and seven flowers under your pillow, Gary....klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-11144897079757765222012-04-14T14:57:36.440-06:002012-04-14T14:57:36.440-06:00Midsommar - it can't be more "svenskt&quo...Midsommar - it can't be more "svenskt" than this - you have given a beautiful picture. <br />Was playing with the thought myself to use Midsommar, but I will save it until June. <br /><br />This year will I put 7 guys under my pillow instead and try to dream about flowers. <br /><br />Half way now .. well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-41908681619876577082012-04-14T13:50:11.701-06:002012-04-14T13:50:11.701-06:00Lovely post!
