Old Festival

Beltane is a festival that marks the return of summer with the lighting of fires; where people could burn their winter bedding and floor coverings, ready to be replaced afresh. Referred to as a Gaelic ceremony, it has been celebrated for thousands of years throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. In fact in Ireland, it supposedly marks the arrival of the Gaels on to Irish shores.

I've whipped the above from another site so thanks to Mysteriousbritain.co.uk

So, here's wishing my wiccan/pagan pals a Happy Beltane. The only thing i've set fire to today are a few jossticks of the frankincense & myrrh and Yland Yland flavours.

I wish i could linger longer but i have connection issues. No, this is not my cry for therapy. This is my cry for a multi-billion pound compnay to pull their finger out and give us rurals a decent frigging service.

Bar stewards! the ot of them.

I don't know whether to rant about AOL or BT the most.

Thank goodness for double-barrell shotguns eh?
