A special poor substitute for a @lindasgoluppiart #SlowLife task, today.

Find out how many people and places are celebrating the 1st of May Week today, holding #MaypoleDancing and #MayDay Fêtes.

Because of @ancientsounds and @keefeglise , I now know of events today in #Southam in Warwickshire and #Hornton in Oxfordshire.

Alas, it seems that nothing at all happens all month in #Northamptonshire. (-:

@keefeglise Well, one could go to #Hornton and experience the 1st of May today, if one wanted to celebrate events of A Long Time Ago, that got banned by the Emperor of Banbury in 1589. I'm guessing that the proximity to Warwickshire is what kept Hornton from being completely crushed by Darth Wheatley. (-: It starts at 12:30 according to Banbury FM. https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/116498670858171433 https://banburyfm.com/event/hornton-may-day-celebration/ #MayDay #MaypoleDancing

@ancientsounds

The little-known Mediaeval city of #Coventry also celebrates #MayDay Week, on Sunday this year at #CoventryCharterhouse.

But #Warwickshire is determined not to be out-extended by Coventry. In #Southam this year, the 1st of May Fête, on Coventry Street, is next Monday. (-:

@malcyl Sadly no money at the moment for the airfare, let alone the hire. (Or for a residency application, as the US is going to be MUCH less pleasant in a few months. :/ )

And it's not the best shot of me ever, but it IS one of the few from my trip in '18 of me 'driving', because I was alone much of the time :)

https://stopthetories.vote/parl/kenilworth-and-southam says that #Kenilworth and #Southam is "too close to call", which tallies with the local information that the LDs have had a big surge in popularity & the GP a little one, & Jeremy Wright is unpopular.

Best for Britain's https://www.getvoting.org/constituency/E14001309 pushes the LCP per its partisan bias, seemingly at odds with the local information.

https://tactical.vote/kenilworth-and-southam/ used to say "too close to call" but switched to the LCP because someone else has.

As #Bristol Central reveals things about #TacticalVoting #UKGeneralElection WWW sites, so does #Kenilworth & #Southam.

1st the local information:

Someone who lives there told me over the 'phone yesterday that LD and GP placards sprouted over the weekend, there are no LCP placards witnessed, and the landowner who used to have a massive Vote Conservative sign next to a major road junction is conspicuously silent.

Jeremy Wright's past record of supporting #HS2 makes him unpopular.

This is just an ephemeral sampling. Please don't yell about what is properly "classical" 🥱
