So, we’ve just got back from Hastings, which is where all the cool people were this weekend.
This is out second visit to Hastings for the May Day weekend. I love the parade, and went as far as to dress up for it this weekend, all in green and with flowers in my hair.
Neil and I have particular tastes in Morris Men, we despise the hanky wavers, preferring instead the black faced dancers who go around hitting big sticks during the dances, and generally have a more Gothy or Rocky outlook on life.
My favourite bit of the professions is probably the drummers though. I love the drummers.
What was that pub with rooms that you mentioned, Clair? I am collating information for the Uborka-In-The-Green festival next year!
It was the Jenny Lind (http://jennylindhastings.co.uk/). We stayed there two years ago, nice rooms, the breakfast part of the B&B was provided by the cafe over the road (v. tasty) and there’s a fantastic view of the parade route if you happen to get one of the rooms that overlooks the street.
Splendid, thank you.
