Cheers Will and Kate for the four day weekend!

Avid readers of this blog (who don't reside in or around St Andrews) will know that the end of April things in the town take a turn for the traditional.

It starts April 30th with a torchlit pier walk in the name of John Honey, a nutter-hero-alumni hybrid that jumped in the sea to save some sailors one stormy night.

May the 1st is the morning of the May Dip where thousands of bleary-eyed or totally legless students jump into the North sea. This year it was on East Sands (a more seizure friendly beach we're told) and watching people run full on into the sea whilst the rest huddled around campfires or raved themselves warm on the beach.
