Shoot, we missed it
Hastings is the last town in Britain to celebrate Catterning and Clemmening. It was on November 28. It’s where a man dressed as a blacksmith and woman depicting Saint Catherine walk around the town and…pass. No idea. Ask for apples? Read it at the link.
The Bonfire Society has a lot to answer for.
Have I ever mentioned that Hastings is my family seat? It’s where at least one branch of the family was said to hail from. It’s even a family name.
I don’t know how to tell them it’s not a very nice town.
