Andy, I can't tell you how jealous...Wonderful! Andy, I can't tell you how jealous I am! We have nothing like May Day here, even though the majority of the population are Anglo-Saxon...somehow our ancestors left behind all their old traditions as well as the land of their birth when they emigrated. I suppose so many of these traditions are tied to the land and the seasons, but a new land didn't bring new (or composite) traditions. About the only time an Australian bloke will condescend to dressing up for some revelry is a silly hat at the Footy Grand Final. Sigh!<br /><br />BTW, off on a tangent re: the Black and White face. I remember as a teenager seeing an old episode of Star Trek (the original) which featured two aliens with faces painted black and white. They hated each other (one was part of a ruling elite, the other a slave) and were at war, but the crew of the Enterprise couldn't understand what was going on. In exasperation one of them finally cried "can't you SEE, he's black on the LEFT side, I'm black on the RIGHT side!" Star Trek taking on the racists in the 60s! (and no, I'm not a mad trekkie, but that episode stuck in my mind!)A mermaid in the attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01139858546037879539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595377920075277072.post-11755122850527936042011-05-04T21:46:17.529+01:002011-05-04T21:46:17.529+01:00You two look smashing, as do the rest of the revel...You two look smashing, as do the rest of the revelers!
