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!

Upon arrival it began to rain so we ate in the car. The subsequent attempt to go for a wander along the beach was quickly abandoned due to rain, wind, and freezing cold.

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

Comfort leads to slowness.

Hastings, last weekend.
