My Sunday Plans

Aline writes: It's Sunday, and I have big plans. I am going to the May Faire (Punch and Judy celebration) at St. Paul's church (it sounds strange and fun, maypole, dancing, folk music, and lots of puppet shows) and perhaps the big ceramics show too. How can I resist going to something that has Punch in the pulpit in St. Paul's preaching a sermon! Bill is heading for the International Guitar show (the biggest guitar show in Europe - how convenient that we are here during it :-) Grommet will probably spend the day trying to burrow back into the hole he found in the wall (more on that later!). Grommet is doing well, but is still worried about the view from the third floor. We are keeping the curtains closed for now, but he can't resist peeking out - his natural curiosity is winning over his worry. More later ...

Edit: The May Faire was really sweet, a small-town event in the middle of Covent Garden. The Maypole dance was really complicated, done by both adults and small children all dressed up in spring clothes and flower wreaths. There were jumble tables, full of little antique knick-knacks, a sandwich sale table, obviously all homemade in little plastic baggies, and about 30 little puppet theatres, who rotated through doing different punch and judy shows - usually 3-4 at once. SO very English and very enjoyable. (No pics, as Bill had the camera at the guitar show.)
