Each year the seasonal festivals mark the passing of the school year. We all have favourites, but there’s something about the intensity of the midsummer festival, St John’s, that is very special. This year was no exception. Jumping the fire to drums beating, bright, flame coloured clothing, dancing, singing, flute playing……all combine to mirror the experience we have of nature at this time of year, where life is intensively lived in the long summer days.
