How did you spend the summer solstice?
 

And so were you born a "pagan" "druid" or "witch" or did you jump on the bandwagon like 99% of them in high school when you thought it was cool...



Nothing personal, just wondering...

actually, I get your point and the real answer is that my parents are over from the states this week. It just so happened that our 'show them around England' thing worked out that we would be in the area so why not go? The whole atmosphere was wonderful and we weren't one of the idiots dancing on the stones so what harm is there in it? The druids I talked to - after all it is all about education for me - didn't appear to mind that people were there as long as they showed respect. 30,000 people and 6 arrests..not bad.

6 arrests???


Peaceful druids gathering on a day of love, and 6 arrests.


Let me guess, it was the "wannabe" druid kids?

yeah, I am guessing so but to be honest I didn't see any of the arrests happening. Weed was everywhere and they weren't doing anyone for it. I am guessing it was idiots that got too drunk prior to being allowed into the stones and picked a fight with the police.

Just like you can be assured the idiots climbing the stones weren't druids either. To the credit of the crowd, they shouted the climbers down.

:thumbsup

I always wanted to go to Stonehenge. Never had time while I was over there. 2 years ago I spent the solstice at an abandoned mental hospital in Massachusetts. w00t.
