Happy Walpurgis!

Big bonfire night tonight around here!

Most cities/communities arrange bonfires for all and there will be choir
singing and sometimes other entertainment.
it's "party time " for teenagers/student, especially in university cities
Uppsala and Lund they party all day with lots of happenings, parades and
partying and partying all day.
Lots of companies close halfday or at least a few hours early today.

And even if it's celebrating spring I remember many chilly Walpurgis nights,
even with snow falling ... well it is Sweden ... Today it's warm and sunny
though.

If someone is interested in how we do "Valborg" in Sweden here's a couple of
links:
way Walpurgis Night sounds more impressive don't you think?

"Beltane" here in Edinburgh. We have our own fire festival
going on tonight on the hilltop of Calton Hill. Dancers
and "fireworks" as well as the bonfire. It used to go on till
dawn and had many shamanic drummers, as well as a
great friendly "party" atmosphere, but recently residents
in the very expensive houses a short distance below
the site have complained, and as a result this year it will
be a "ticket only " event, and must finish at midnight - no
drums allowed. Even the police admit that there was
never any trouble with the Beltane crowd.

However in late breaking news, apparently alcohol will
NOT be banned tonight, as some folks wanted. (we always
shared a bottle around the fire, but I NEVER saw any real
drunken problems in all the years I went)

Here's a link the the Beltane Fire Society's page.
