Jack in the Green Arrives

It’s May, it’s May, the lusty month of May, as the song from that venerable musical Camelot proclaims.  Lusty?  Perhaps.  Certainly “green”–and how appropriate, especially these days.  Follow the merrymakers sporting treetop headgear or bushes with legs throughout this weekend, ending with Bank Holiday on Monday.  Enjoy the fairs on Monday in London at Old Royal Naval College (traditional highlights include Jack in the Green and the Maypole) and Alexandra Palace.  This weekend, why not take a sojourn outside the Capital and enjoy Morris Dancing at venues in Sussex, Kent, Oxford, Bristol or Somerset.  Time to celebrate winter’s slumber.
