Midsummer Watch Parade
The monk, Lucian, told of a Chester procession of clerics in the year 1195 and the annals mention a parade in 1397/8 but it was not until the mayorality of Richard Goodman who served from November 1498 until November 1499 (most modern writings place he Midsummer Watch in the year 1498 which is unproved) that the Wach on Midsummer Eve was first sett out and begonne. At every summer solstice, Cestrians would march through the streets carrying torches and wearing costumes during years when the famous Chester Mystery Plays were not performed.
(A similar practise was performed every midwinter - the Christmas Eve Watch was a candlelit procession which would go from the mayor's house to the Common Hall where the keys to the city gates would be given to the mayor who, in turn, entrusted them to the watchmen who would keep the city safe over the festive season.)
In 1564 the midsummer watch parade included: 4 gyants, 1 unikorne, 1 dromodarye, 1 luce, 1 camell, 1 dragon, 6 hobbyhorses and 16 naked boys.

Bonfire night! Erhm, the bonfire kind of cought fire, and then exploded a little :) Black smoke all over the island! Or at least our little beach...
This is the path coming in to the garden at Midsummer, halfway between the summer solstice and the fall equinox, also known as one ot the cross-quarters of the year. This year, 2009, saw a full sturgeon moon almost exactly on Midsummer's day.
Midsummer is an important holiday in the Nordic countries, the shortest and most luminous night of the year.
