Butser Iron Age Farm had their regular Beltane celebration. Fisrt time we'd been. Spectacular, they set fire to a 35 foot high wicker man to the accompaniment of wild drumming. Other crafts were on display, I tried spinning some wool, shan't give up the day job just yet. Fire dancers, barbie, music

As the vast crowd was leaving a few of us sat in the darkened round house where a low fire was glowing. Our group of four supped wine and felt very mellow.
