    Witches were hung - it was heretics that were burned, for their own good, of course.

    My morris side would usually go out and dance on Mayday, as there would usually be events and happenings now it is a bank holiday weekend, but that has not happened for a while now - though individuals and households did go out and some recorded their solo commemorations to put on You Tube.

    Maybe next year - though I ought to start practicing for it soon, otherwise my joints will have lost all flexibility.

    Lilias Addie was buried in the deep part of a tidal flat near Fife under a big slab of rock lest she tries to get up and celebrate Beltane.

    No word as to whether she could sew or not.
    Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.
