DAY 1
Probably our first decent weekend of great weather this year and what a way to spend it! The sweeps is something I relish every May often starting with the Gordon hotel real Ale festival for a spot of Saturday sampling. Nelson’s Blood stood out as always with its strong ruby “memory loss” effect that kinda made it hard to even remember what went in my tankard after. A cider blew me away this year, Lunatickle was in clear breach of advertising standards as the 6.4 sweet nectar was more of a punch than a tickle. Delicious.
DAY 2
Day two was a far more sensible affair as my wife and I strolled through town nursing our hangovers with sweet-toothed beverages and a picnic for the castle. Many a Morris dancer’s bell, sticks, shouts and musical accordion could be heard as they displayed their skills and expressions to the huge crowds attending.
After a much needed break from the crowd and our bellies full of picnic and soda we left the garden grounds to watch The Furry Lovelickers play at the Singapora Lounge and chat with all the excellent folk in the Medway music scene. Nice seeing you all! 
It as been one of my best weekends in quite a long time and as soon as I’ve posted this I’m out the door and heading back to watch the parade. Hope you all had a great weekend.
Peace Obi
