Saddleworth Rushcart

[watervole]

 Because it's my day for talking about folk traditions...

Here - with comments on each photo to explain what is happening - is Saddleworth Rushcart procession.

This is a modern rushcart - and the event is totally unadvertised and totally amazing.

 I took the photos last year.  I'd have gone again this year, but I'd already booked for Discworld and it clashes.

I took four short video clips - they're called Saddleworth Rushcart 1,2,3,4 if you want to view any after the first...

Could be a perfect excuse to meet up! (Not this year owning to the clash with Discworld, but next year, who knows?

Believe me, I really really hope that this meeting of ours will come true. I am still at work (alleluya) and quite busy, you know that eternal problem of time and money, don´t you? *Grin and sigh*
