Notice on the side of St Thomas a Becket Church, Cliffe, Lewes.

The railings.

Finally the ancient sport of dwyle flunking gets some national TV coverage, thanks to my local team.

Today Lewes celebrated May Day.

Song on May Morning
John Milton

Now the bright morning Star, Dayes harbinger,
Comes dancing from the East, and leads with her
The Flowry May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow Cowslip, and the pale Primrose.
Hail bounteous May that dost inspire
Mirth and youth, and warm desire,
Woods and Groves, are of thy dressing,
Hill and Dale, doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early Song,
And welcom thee, and wish thee long.

All hail the May Flower.

And the bluebell, for good measure.

Tonight was supposed to be Lewes' Late Night Christmas Shopping Night but it's been canceled due to the weather being too Christmasy.

UPDATE

There's an excellent Flickr set from Rob Orchard, if you're looking for more photos of Bonfire 2010. I particularly like this photo:

I went for the 'Southease Sizzler' and a some pimientos de padron, washed down with some Harveys Best. And some English wine.
