The First Weekend of May --

-- was the May Day Bank Holiday, a public holiday in all four parts of the UK and (for historical reasons stemming from the Anglo-Norman invasions in the 12th century) the Republic of Ireland as well. We were quite busy: on Saturday we went for a walk along the Lea Navigation from Markfield Park north to Stonebridge Lock and back across Tottenham Marshes and the Hale Village development at Tottenham Hale; and on Monday we attended the Tottenham Ploughman Mayfest event in Markfield Park. Copious photographs were taken of each jaunt, and have been assembled into Facebook albums with instructive captions. Both albums are public, and can therefore be viewed by anyone irrespective of whether or not they have a Facebook account: the walk along the Lea Navigation is here, and the Tottenham Ploughman Mayfest event is here. "Enjoy!" as I believe is now the preferred term....
