Before The Year Is Gone
Around New Year and before Lent, the Kukeri walk and dance through villages to scare away evil spirits with their elaborate costumes and the sound of multiple large bells attached to their belts. They are also believed to provide a good harvest, health, and happiness to the village during the year. The Kukeri tradition has been practiced since Thracian times, predominantly in Bulgaria but also in other Balkan countries.

I used to treasure the words of my dear old Nan from Sunderland but I could never agree with her 'Cast ne'er a clout 'til May is out' proverb.
My determination to wear shorts and sandals from April to October means that sometimes a...

I enjoyed this Jenny. I always enjoy the way you relive your memories through poetry.
This one could be retitled Five Meet the Beach Boys, by Enid Blyton.

Pick of the Dream Pops
Posted on Thu, 08 May 2025
It must be very difficult for any musical performers from Mullingar to succeed, living as they do in the shadow of the immortal Joe Dolan. So fair play to the Gone Forevers. I'm glad their lyrics are in Swedish. I wish Abba could have done the...

Ah now, I'm delighted by this news. I've been confined to the house most of the day by a huge thunderstorm so this has fair cheered me up.
