Derbyshire Well Dressings

[Garmard]

Any AB'er's visited the villages around my home county and been fascinated by this age old tradition?

[Garmard]

Yes doc, i find Eyam a fascinating village.

Would rather get the plague than go to Eyam:-)

[Mamyalynne]

Is Eyam the "Plague" village? I think its great that the traditions like well dressing still go on.

[Bbbananas]

Is well dressed a similar thing to well hung?

[carrust]

That's beyond Hope, isn't it......Castleton:-)

[dothawkes31]

we have a scartcrow decorating comp here every year, it's amnazing, this year they did the x factor judges for one lol

[Garmard]

Oh dear salla, you've got your bananas in a muddle once more...lol!

[ttfn]

salla you are incorrigible

[Garmard]

Definitely beyond hope carrust.

[Bbbananas]

I know, but I make no apology (for most of it....).

Dot - round here they have scarecrow-dressing comps. They had some brilliant ones round the Grantham area (Lincolnshire) last year, I was very impressed.

[carrust]

In Grantham they just pull people off the main street for the competition...the judges have a right job picking a winner:-)

[Bbbananas]

Blame Margaret Thatcher..... !

When i was young i used to live in Aslockton near Grantham.

And of course you can't beat a bit of Welly Wanging in Upperthong, Yorks. Sounds painful!!

[Garmard]

Welly Wanging in Upperthong could give you a dodgy prostrate eh?

[Mamyalynne]

Indeed but Matron is here to minister to any sport related injuries.
