Green Mud

[Anne]

It was so funny this year - we saw a group of peeps applying the mud to each other and then - doing Tai chi or however it is spelt - drinking beer from bottles and taking photos of each other - it amused us for quite a while especially as they could not do the proper stances after the beer lol.

Just gone through all this thread again, it seems so daft now being worried about looking silly. All we can think off now is getting home and feeling relaxed and at peace with the world. XX

Everybody both clothed and unclothed should have a go at this fun activity. Every year we lather ourselves in the clay at least once and kid ourselves we have found the elixir of youth haha

Jo medear, this thread was so quiet until our viv posted in April. Before that it was 3 years earlier in 2011. People still do it though I think. If the beach is as good as Sandy said in last few days, I will be very "green" at some point this summer. I will not be in a communal situation though. Jen can't be with me, so I will pick a very quiet time.

I reckon with the upsurge in folk coming to Arillas we will see an old tradition renewed.

John and I giggled our way through mud application on both our visits last year.  During our second break we were even photographed by a German lady for some publicity stuff!  We said yes to her on account of us both been totally unrecognisable behind several layers of the green stuff lol

No doubt we shall do it all again this year

I felt as if I was getting burnt yesterday so the green mud went on all over, some people hadn't seen it before and just thought I was mad but Sandy and Angie still recognised me. Xx

Green Mud? - Sure I have eaten that somewhere and they called it pea soup.
