May 8th was Flora Day in Helston. It is a pagan celebration, celebrating spring that has now become a town celebration. We took the kids down town and took in some of the festivities. There are three dances throughout the day and one ceremony meant to ward off evil spirits. We managed to catch two of the dances and view the decorations (the buildings are covered with fresh cut flowers). Some of our neighbours danced in the last dance of the day. Here are some pics.
