January 10th 2015 - straw bear festival
JANUARY 10th 2015 - straw bear festival Whittlesey
As we are going back "home" for the weekend I will do tomorrows post today, and add the photos when we get back. As well as seeing friends and family we decided we would go over to the straw bear festival in Whittlesey.
Every year Whittlesey holds a straw bear festival at the begining of January. It's always very cold but alot of fun. Dancers and dance troops of morris/molly dancers attend from all over the UK and dance in the streets and at pubs. There is a bear made of straw (has a man in it) that also goes dancing round the streets and pubs, and sometimes a bear from Germany. It is a brilliant atmosphere and great for the whole family. On the sunday after more dancing and fun the bear is burnt (without the man inside!)
Many of the dance troops wil get members of teh public involved with the dances and if your really lucky they will cover you in facepaint (that they are already wearing! the red leicester lot are the worst). Also the German straw bear has a habbit of capturing young females and dancing with them, but as it dances it turns round and in doing so is tying you and it together with a rope, they then tend to fall over so that you are laid on top of them!!! This happened to me many years ago, and I was in a florescent yellow/hi-vis jacket as I was with St John Ambulance who provide the first aid cover for it as we were based in whittlesey.
If you ever get the chance to go to the event I would suggest you do, but wrap up warm. This pin is found here. Take a look at the Straw Bear website and read the info and look at the pics.
Here are some of the photos I took, it was a dry and sunny but bitterly cold day. We saw a few of our friends there as well as members of the family, which was great. As it happens it was only me and hubby that went as the kids wanted to stay with their godmother (where we were sleeping).

Spiritual & holistic event
This weekend was the Spirit of Cumbria Holistic fair at the Rheged centre near Penrith, in Cumbria. I would have liked to have gone for the whole weekend as there were some very interesting workshops on both days, but this would have cost in the region of £80 in petrol for hubby to take me there and come home and then come back for me in the afternoon and then home again on both days, and a hotel would have cost me about £40-50 for the night, plus taxis to and from the venue. So I decided that I would only go today (Sunday).
Hubby and the boys did the easter egg hunt, made pixie doors, had faces painted and played in the play area outside leaving me free to wander around the various stalls, try out therapies and attend workshops.
I had a bio-energy healing taster session of 20minutes, my feet felt really heavy and my fingers were tingling afterwards, which is apparently good.
I had an aura photograph taken, and the lady said she hadn't seen anyone with as round chakras as all mine were for quite a while. It has got lots of various colours and halos on it.
I also had a psychic reading done which was very acurate, I had never seen or met the man before. Some of the things he said there is no-way he would have known - like my lounge wallpaper colour, the fact my kettle turns on/off on its own and that my grandad was called Reginald and was in the army! Very impressed with what he said.
I attended the Angel Workshop which was very informative, I just hope I didn't come across as rude as I was typing things the lady said onto my phone (as had pen but no paper in my handbag) but I was sat near the back.
All in all it was a nice event and everyone was so friendly. I would definately go to another event like this.

| the colours are much brighter on the actual picture than the photo of it makes them, the purple on my head is more vivid as well. |
