Many in Northern Europe will know the tradition of Walpurgis night, the night before 1 May when the witches come out to party the night away. These days, the party goes on but is not quite as witch-y as it used to be.
* Apologies to those that waited in vain last evening for this post to go up. It got carried away by the witches in draft-mode hill to dance the night away and only made it up in the morning
