I used to live near a village called Abbots Bromley, where each September they carry out a ritual called the horn dance. They tell us it dates back to the middle ages. I have seen it a number of times. The narrative is unfathomable and the antics are nonsensical....oh and its not a dance in any reasonable interpretation of the word although some of the 'dancers' do carry around deer antlers. It does involve a lot of visiting of public houses and even more beer. I suspect it is little more than an elaborate excuse for a pub crawl

I love old traditions.....oddly enough I had just been reading an account of the wren boys elsewhere! Many possible reasons given for why the wren was hunted and killed [although today I am sure this no longer happens].

I was really concerned for Nick in the late 80's. Thankfully all has been well (apart from the tragic incident with his son).
![]() I adore Nick Cave. I adored Bowie and Prince and George. I only have Nick Keith and Roger Eno left and poor Roger had a terrible accident a few years back which meant he lost his memory

Crikey it's sort of like the red light district in Amsterdam!!
Was it a bad time to look out for turkey legs? And now I have a blooming cough and cold, so will have to wait a day or two to go hunting. A lot of folk seem to have a second turkey dinner on New Year's day so you never know. I will be crawling off to bed shortly, very little kip last night what with coughing and fevering
