And Sue there you go, I don't tell lies - the Kimbers really were the Morris dancers. William Kimber that is! Lyn and the May Pole? Well she drives us up the pole more like! |

We use to have one every year in the village of Wheatley, Oxon. I think it was around Easter time too. They did it down the High Street. So many of these old traditions are dying out. I think it's sad. |

I hate trick or treat.Mind you...why would we celebrate Guy Fawkes NOT blowing up the Houses of Parliament, maybe if he had we wouldn't be in the mess we are now lol |
