The Bells!!!!Febuary 2nd,2008.




We could here them but couldn't see any think,bells not church bells" Cow Bells" we spent all morning wondering,than around 2ish down the lane came a gang of colourfully dressed village youngsters,some in animal outfits with rows of cow bells on and painted faces.This is the old pagan ritual of Kukerrov den,performed early in spring to chase away evil winter spirits and ensure a good harvest.They stoped at the gate and a guy waved a tree branch and seemed to be giving us a blessing well I hope thats what it was,off they went we took photos it was really good fun.
