Nice to see you and Svet again. Hugs to...Hi Kyle <br /><br />Nice to see you and Svet again. Hugs to you both. I didn't realise you had the Maypole tradition over there. You learn something new everyday. I know May Day is quite a big holiday where you live in Russia.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Linda. Hope you enjoyed your visit here. Thanks for the nice comments about the blog. The popularity of Maypole dancing seems to have spread to your country too.<br /><br />Happy Mayday Marion! Hope you had a good one. It's a shame how these popular traditions have started to die out. Glad I brought back some happy memories for you<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the post Brit in Tennessee. Sometimes it's nice to take a trip back down Memory Lane. I'll come over and visit you soon.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524989873664135095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-43178384858596374822009-05-10T03:14:00.000+01:002009-05-10T03:14:00.000+01:00This brings back so many lovely memories of dancin...This brings back so many lovely memories of dancing around the Maypole, it was such a huge part of growing up "English".....<br />I was a Morris dancer, a Scottish dancer, and ran the pony rides at garden fetes, each Spring/Summer.<br />Lovely post, and thanks for bringing back happy times !A Brit in Tennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080644141670903160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-44045093463813381202009-05-09T15:20:00.000+01:002009-05-09T15:20:00.000+01:00You've brought back some lovely memories, Naomi. ...You've brought back some lovely memories, Naomi. I remember practising around the Maypole as a youngster...it is too bad it is rarely done anymore. It was so much fun. Every school had their own Maypole and we danced in front of the whole town...it was great.<br /><br />Happy Mayday!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-28171524451178171112009-05-08T02:54:00.000+01:002009-05-08T02:54:00.000+01:00We celebrated May Day here in Virginia when I was ...We celebrated May Day here in Virginia when I was a girl with a festival including a Maypole dance.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763547174099448920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-49281124025344712572009-05-07T20:23:00.000+01:002009-05-07T20:23:00.000+01:00When I was little this holiday was huge in America...When I was little this holiday was huge in America. In fact one of my memories at about three and four years old is of the May Pole.
