I am late posting this (I should have posted about this on the 7th)
I have been learning Japanese and as I have been learning the language I have been learning more about Japanese culture and history.
I got this from an E-Mail from a company that I had bought some CD's from.
On the 7th of July it is referred to as the day of Tanabata.
This is a tale of the milky way seperates two loving deities, Ori-Hime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altir) and they are allowed to meet once a year on the 7th.
This day is celebrated by writing wishes on Tanzaku (small pieces of paper) and hanging them on bamboo.
My partner and I did this. but as we do not have any bamboo we slotted them in to a wooden fence. I have takent hem down now and I plan on burning them in my cauldron as soon as I get the opportunity.
