Spent an afternoon with the Tudors.

Baggy and Calum have spent the afternoon at Kentwell Hall, Long Melford, celebrating May Day with the Tudors. It has been a lovely, if somewhat exhausting afternoon. The weather, unlike the forecast, has been amazing. Creative Clara wanted to go to get a bit more information for her novel. The reassuring, but also rather weird thing, is that her "imagination", seems to be historically accurate. Clever Bird thinks that Psychic Ploppo really has been helping Clara write!

Bearing in mind that Calum and Furry Mama took Minty Mutt for a decent walk before heading to Kentwell, they have done a huge amount of walking today. With luck, enough for Baggy to have worn off the massive piece of Victoria Sponge Cake that she demolished in the tea room. So much for being totally on her diet this week.

 Calum assisted the Tudors to erect their May Pole, just in time for the women and girls, to have a bit of a dance around it.

The musicians played throughout, extremely well, and the whole thing was rather moving. It was odd for Calum and Lady Eadwynn to be spectators, rather than reenacators but it was interesting to be a paying member of the public. They did get their money's worth. Lovely day. Now Baggy just has to persuade The Domestic Goddess to muster up some energy to cook supper...........
