Losing the Thread

May 1st and Summer is a coming today - well maybe not as the weather is set to change over the coming days with more cloud and falling temperatures. This morning I watched a live-feed of the May Day festivities in Padstow,Cornwall. Two Obby Osses move through the narrow streets accompanied by music from acordians and drums, and occasional singing. My favourite is Old Oss. It's so well supported by the local community and its always interesting to see the local characters. 
The extra shows one of the flowers in the garden. Like so many plants these have donw amazingly well this year. The main blip photo is a jar of threads.
