Busy busy bees we were.</p> <p><strong>Saturday 24th</strong></p> <p>On Saturday we had a parade in Rye with Sambalanco. Lots of little school kids dressed as bees, birds and butterflies and us in our bright purple and yellow gear banging our drums and tinging our Agogo bells.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimandpete/2526099582/" title="Pete with Serdo at Sambalanco by kimandpete, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2213/2526099582_6414751a77.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Pete with Serdo at Sambalanco " /></a></p> <p><strong>Pete with his Serdo Drum</strong></p> <p>The weather was glorious as we wandered through the cobbled streets of Rye and finished at the harbour where we all enjoyed a beer and an icecream whilst getting sunburnt.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimandpete/2526098308/" title="Kim with Tambourim at Sambalanco by kimandpete, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2114/2526098308_c9ca49b70b.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Kim with Tambourim at Sambalanco" /></a></p> <p><strong>Kim with headdress and Tamba</strong></p><p><strong>Sunday 25th</strong></p> <p>Today we headed over to Battle to experience the annual Battle Medieval Fair. It happens in Abbey Green just in front of Battle Abbey. Food and drink stalls, lacemakers, falconry and owls, dragon tellers, jugglers, jesters and the Maypole dancers all gather together and celebrate.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimandpete/2526097504/" title="Battle Abbey by kimandpete, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3064/2526097504_cb99fa0503.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Battle Abbey" /></a></p> <p><strong>Battle Abbey Medieval Fair 2008</strong></p> <p>Pete and I were selling Battle Cider with Lucy and Andy who make it. It&#8217;s cracking stuff and we had a great day with the sun shining once more.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimandpete/2525276355/" title="Battle Cider by kimandpete, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3247/2525276355_f16be355d7.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Battle Cider" /></a></p> <p><strong>Pete and Andy - cheers!</strong></p> <p>In the evening we got the free bus to the Black Horse Music Festival in a little village called Telham. Got there just in time to see the finale, Trans Global Underground who are well known for their amazing sounds - a combination of music from around the world. Brilliant.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimandpete/2525275599/" title="Trans Global Underground by kimandpete, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2066/2525275599_185f82deab.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Trans Global Underground" /></a></p> <p><strong>Trans Global Underground at Black Horse Music Festival 2008</strong></p> <p><strong>Monday 26th</strong></p> <p>What a miserable finish to the weekend. I stayed to sell Battle Cider until the afternoon, Pete had left earlier that morning to head into the office.</p> <p>Despite the cold and showers, plenty of people still came to enjoy our &#8216;rustic apple juice of the alcoholic variety&#8217;</p> <p>The evening saw Pete and I cosy up and watch a film before catching up on sleep ready for work the next day.</p> Tue, 27 May 2008 22:37:00 +0100 urn:uuid:af698770-1f57-4f7e-aa0e-3f1ce1bb8555 Kim http://kimandpete.co.uk/articles/2008/05/27/bank-holiday-weekend General
