Happy Beltane! πŸŒΏπŸ’βœ¨

I also attended a rural school in the 80 and remember dancing around a purpose built May pole that came out every year. I loved the different patterns that the various dances made ❀️ lovely read, thank you ❀️

It was the best wasn’t it! I hope schools still do this… my local one doesn’t do it anymore but I like to hope it’s still carrying on somewhere! ✨

Lovely read. I’ve already been out washing my face in the dew - it’s worth a try! Rolling naked a step too far for me and it certainly wouldn’t have been a Beltane blessing for my neighbours! Off to visit the bluebell woods and perhaps fashion myself a wild May crown now you’ve appointed me May Queen! Happy Beltane

This really made me laugh. I also spared the neighbours this morning and just washed my face in dew. But am hoping someone out there is brave enough to go for the full naked roll! Happy May Day!
