We made these sweet little baskets to celebrate May day and delivered them to our unsuspecting friends and family down the road. A few tea bags, some organic dark chocolate, and a potted flower to mark the mid-way point between the equinox and the solstice and to celebrate this season of fertility and growth.
I was doing a little reading about Beltane traditions and specifically how the Scandinavian folk mark the day. A may pole is a long standing tradition, and I dug up some pics of Ole raising a maypole at a Scandinavian Heritage Society function a couple years ago(would you believe Ole even danced around the maypole - I certainly wouldn't if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!).

You know I'd completely forgotten that it was maypole time again... It's not something which we see that often here in the UK much now. It's a lovely tradition though
