We were, as always, celebrating the eve of May Day (Walpurgis night) at the beautiful place on the main island. A hill were people were singing and watching the traditional fires, lightened to scare all evil away - the devil, wolfs, trolls and witches. Then people could let the cows, horses and sheeps out to graze the first grass after the winter in the cow-house and stable.
We use to eat a special kind of doughnuts and drink pale ale. (made of lemons, russins, yeast, sugar and water). We made it ourselfs and I like it very much, if you make it correctly, it´s non-alcoholic and the children use to love it. When I was a child this was the day of once-in-the-year-gas-baloon.
