I spent the May Day bank holiday back home in Hastings at one of the town’s pagan-themed festivals, Jack in the Green.
Basically the big green fellow parades around for a bit and is then ritually slaughtered at the local castle, thus celebrating the arrival of spring. Also followed by a large amount of morris dancing.
The bloke in the top hat is long-serving leader of the local council, Jeremey Birch!

Nevermind. On the way back home we stopped at camber sands which was also bleak:

Last weekend I beefriended a local bee in my parent’s garden.
Taking photos of bees is rather hard as they move unbeelievably quickly

Here we can see the bee using its sucker to extract honey from the flower.

Really enjoying watching this 60s pre-supermarionation puppet show called Space Patrol. Fantastic soundtrack too.

So it turns out the best conditions for running a half marathon are freezing cold, a threat of sleet, and wearing just t-shirt and shorts. Comfort leads to slowness.
Hastings, last weekend.
