more from Jack in the Green. At Hastings Castle

Jack in the Green

Once more, the people of Hastings dressed up in the ugliest clothes they could find, hung leaves over the clothes and set out for a day of Morris Dancing and fun on the streets and green spaces. Only the English know how to enjoy themselves in this way. Every single other nationality dresses attractively on festival days, even when they're being dragons etc. Only in England do we choose the ugliest clothes and make-up. Who says the English are reserved? They are not. Would a reserved person approach you, a total stranger, and paint your nose green?
Here's a photo of how the day began:
