It’s quite sad that some of these festivals are less widely celebrated – even I remember dancing around a maypole at primary school, and asking for a penny for the rather rubbish Guy.
I love looking at the fashion’s of the day and seeing glimpses of old London. I often seek out old images to help me to visualise the period that I am writing about in my own blog posts. Fascinating, thanks GA.
