Outside in the grounds a Maypole has been erected, with several coloured ribbons. All the Mudcatters head outside and each takes a ribbon, except for the musicians who strike up some lively May music.
The dance continues until the ribbons have formed a plaited design around the pole. The sun shines and the birds are singing. Everyone feels blissfully happy. Even BBCW, who has left his pile of sandwiches on a table while he plays his instrument with feeling!
