May Day Celebrations in Shoreham

Hal and tow 
jolly rumble oh 
for we were up 
long before the day - o 
to welcome in the summer 
the summer and the May - o . . . 
for summer is a comin' in 
and winter is a gone - o. 

a merry May to you.

Sompting Morris Group and Shoreham Folk Dance Group will be getting up early for the event.

It used to be the Chanctobury Morris Group who met every Wednesday evening (in winter) at the King's Head and after drinking all night on May Day Eve at the King's Head would then celebrate at midnight on Chanctonbury Ring before continuing on May Day in Shoreham (just in case you have not got the stamina to get up in the morning). The baldrics etc were sold by Paul Plumb in Shoreham High Street in the pre-decimalisation days.

A Holly Blue Butterfly flits quickly across a south Lancing garden (TQ 185 046). 

Report by Ray Hamblett

24 April 2001
Magpies demonstrate courtship behaviour in a Lancing town centre garden, one bird while perched is repeatedly beats its wings. When the partner approaches something is being passed between the beaks of the two birds. This may be regurgitated food. Both birds stay near the middle of the Hawthorn tree (which is nearly flowering) while the nest is at the top.

Poem of the Week
 

And now, gentle reader, let us hasten to the beach; the tide is near its ebb, and yonder rocks, baring their shoulders to the sunshine, seems to rest themselves in grim repose.

This is the time for work. 
"Come, boy ! the fishing basket and the muslin landing-net- a hammer and an iron chisel. Mind, too, you don't forget the large glass jar with the handle made of rope, wherein to put the specimens we find."

Extract from the Aquarian Naturalist 1858           by Thomas Rymer Jones
