Ashmore Filly Loo!

The Filly Loo at Ashmore, Dorset is an ancient and magical celebration held around the Summer Solstice every year. There are many stalls including food and drink but most people bring a picnic. It's great fun and ends with the haunting Horn Dance, which is wonderfully weird, in the dark and silent night! There are 2 PiPs with one showing the two duck families on the pond.

Thank you for your kind comment Joe. My daughter's birthday is always around this time (22nd) so a great excuse to invite friends and family. Cheers, Rosa.
