Summer Solstice at Avebury

Our summer Solstice celebration was really lovely. Avebury was as stunning as ever and the weather of heavy cloud with spitty rain was really dramatic and atmospheric. Best of all, it was a warm summers evening.

There was an organised group who lit a circle of torches and held the circle of spirit whilst drumming some excellent rythms - very impressive. It focused everyone and united us all. We had a good dance in high energy. Local teenagers where there and where blown away by the celebrations.

When at the van in the car park, which was completely full, we were blessed with musical neighbours who played the flute, the penny whistle, guitar and violin. Lovely twinkly music to dance some more to. What a great way to build up to the Summer Solstice.

It was cloudy all night up to the point of day break when the clouds broke enough to see the Sun rising on the horizon and the clouds went pink.

Thanks to Annie for the photo.

!FANTASTIC!

Met friends and made new ones - all in all a lovely way to begin our journey.

There were so many stresses getting away that now there is a sense of relief. Its really nice to be here.

HAPPY SOLSTICE!
