"Sumer is icumen in" is a 14th century song that Haughty can remember singing in a primary school choir (back in the 14th century, of course.) No-one explained to the children the line in it about bucks farting, which is a pity - they'd have enjoyed knowing what the words they were singing meant.
We certainly felt summer coming in this last Sunday. It was hot - really hot, and still hot at 4 pm. This didn't deter some 33 of us turning up in Dayboro for Banger and Make an Offer's run and walk. Here's a group shot from before the start, with Dynamite clearly a reluctant participant, and some other recalcitrants skulking in the background:
It certainly is high time for us to move to a 5 pm start - as we will next week.
As always in Dayboro, out hares took runners and walkers on a couple of very scenic circuits. These included a few gentle inclines so we could enjoy the cooling breezes at the crests:
Back home, we were treated to a wonderful feast of gourmet burgers and salad, followed by fruit salad and cream. What an excellent repast! Many, many thanks to our hares!
Strine made a presentation to Le W*nk of some fascinating information about the bustling metropolis of St George. He promised to visit the garage there in future:
We'll be returning to this Make an Offer and Banger's on the 10th of December for our Hash Christmas party, and there was some discussion in the circle about this event. Look for more details to follow.
For the first time since 2010, Halloween actually falls on a Sunday this year, and so coincides with our Halloween run/walk. Mile High and Hugandkiss are planning something special - perhaps we're in for a traditional pre-Christian Druidic happening!
Here's a note from Mile High: "Please embrace the 'spirit'of Halloween by coming in costume. Prizes for Best Male and Female, Best Child and Best Dog. Trick or Treat - share a joke, song, poem or a spider dance." Our hares promise a level walk/run in which we will scare/entertain the neighbourhood. Look to your emails for the address and further information about parking...this is not one to miss!
Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 31st October, 5 pm
Where: Mile High and Hugandkiss' Highvale hacienda
Hares: Hugandkiss and Mile High
On, on!
