Schtri, schtra, schtro – de Summerdag is do
Technically these pictures were not taken in summer. But “summer’s day” is celebrated each year on Laetare Sunday, i.e. three weeks before Easter. After a spring parade through town a large snowman is burnt to represent the end of winter.
In years gone by the snowman was burnt in the town square. For years, the fire fighters have argued that this is not safe with so many people in the square, close to the burning effigy. Covid gave them the ammunition they needed and now the burning takes place in the gardens of the local castle. This picture is from ten years ago:
Sorry for the title. It’s local dialect.

“No one was badly hurt by the fire, but it went on for some hours, doing a fair amount of damage in the process.”
“The instigator of the fire lurked on a nearby hilltop and watched the blaze. He was tall, thin, and a Duke of Hell. It was the last thing that needed to be done before his return to the nether regions, and he had done it.”
Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman: Good Omens
