Used to give my father in law lots of cake when they visited us 😂 (she’s passed now but we had a difficult relationship)

Mari Lwyd - a sort of hobby horse using a real horses skull held aloft on a pole. The human operator is covered in a white sheet, skull held aloft and decorated with colourful ribbons. Mari wears a crown of evergreen foliage. This one is standing in front of a display of replica weapons from popular sci-fi movies

Also v amused that a pal in the States ran into a Mari Lwyd at a collectibles event in Pittsburgh. He was very excited to send me this pic and the person under all that was thrilled someone knew what Mari Lwyd was.
