Under Cover (Museum and Market)
Thursday grey and damp, we sought covered spaces to avoid the worst showers. From a rainy Eastgate Street, we sheltered in The Grosvenor Shopping Centre to be diverted by TK Maxx and Castle Fine Art’s window, featuring mediocre efforts by Bob Dylan and Billy Connolly. Emerging on Bridge Street rows, we kept dry until reaching the steps at the end and crossed to Grosvenor Street. We paused to…

25th March
Leasing the White Bread Meadows
Tumblr media
The Whitebread Meadow Auction in Bourne. Source: LincsOnLine
The Monday after Palm Sunday (today in 2024), is the traditional date for the Leasing of the White Bread Meadow at Bourne in Lincolnshire. Two boys would be selected to race up and down a 100-yard road in the town while bidding to lease the large White Bread field took place. If the boys returned between bids, the auction for the meadow would end. If not, the boys would begin their race again, which made it somewhat of an open-ended affair. The auction would supply its participants with free gin, in order to keep the bidding enthusiastic and generous. In past years the auction was restricted to farmers but these days anyone can join in, with proceeds going to charity. It always had a philanthropic aspect: the event was instituted by Richard Clay who stipulated the auction in his will in 1770 as a means of raising bread for the poor of the Eastgate area of Bourne.
The event fell into abeyance but was revived in the 1990s, taking on more of the appearance of a spring folk festival. Instead of boys, volunteer middle-aged men, dressed in colourful vegetation-inspired costumes, make the run. As in former days, it all concludes in the pub afterwards with a meal of bread, cheese, onions and beer. Because of March’s unpredictable weather, however, the auction is more often than not moved to a more clement weekend in April.
The unpredictable temperatures of early spring are captured vividly in two pieces of late March weatherlore rhymes:-
‘In like a lion, out like a lamb,’
and:-
‘March comes in with adders’ heads
And goes out with peacocks’ tails.’

Meet Jay, the chaotic partner to Sandra. They get in some trouble together and most of the blame can be pointed at Jay. But he has a big heart despite being rough around the edges. A character in our comic Eastgate: Next Generation.

hey y’all wanna hear about a good omens au I created that I’ll make a fic on eventually?
To late!
I’ve named it
Dreamy Divinations
the idea is that it’s a human au but with a twist. So, every night you dream out you & your soulmate’s lives in other universes. It’s like a VR experience, it feels so real that some have lost their minds over the loss of children, pets, or partners when they woke up.
Aziaraphale, who goes by Azrell Phell Eastgate, is soul bonded with Crowley, or Tony Janthony Crowlen, and they dream of each other every night.
One night the dream was so real and emotional that when Crowlen woke up he was so devastated he ran through the rain to the address of aziraphale’s bookshop but instead it’s a bakery by the name of ‘Eastgate Goods’
he collapses to his knees in despair, soaked from head to toe. The bakery’s owner opens the door to find the man he’s soul bonded with collapsed in front of his bakery. He quickly grabs a white, feather themed umbrella from inside and rushes out offering it in a parallel to their canon first meeting

Eastgate House, Rochester
Finally managed to get inside on my third visit to Rochester!

Older than the Restoration House, with parts dating from the Tudor period and others from the seventeenth century. Eastgate House features in Dickens's Pickwick Papers and the Mystery of Edwin Drood.

It has some fine plasterwork, and some original painted wall decoration:

Banks, Bridges and Rows
On a variable Wednesday, we headed down Frodsham Street onto Eastgate and left down St. John Street, where we waited for a bunch of students to shift for a better look at the Welsh church. Peeling blue railings barred the three-arched doorway, atypically clad in yellow sandstone. At the end of the street, we crossed to the amphitheatre to see small kids being drilled as Roman soldiers. Having…
