Splatt! One brave contestant in the Russian Egg Roulette championship loses out on his final egg. The event featured at the 2019 World Egg Throwing Championships at Thorpe Latimer. Rules: One against one. Six eggs but only one is raw - the rest are hard-boiled. The "Official Tosser" <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6196486">TF1340 : Official Tosser</a> presides. A toss of the coin determines who will take the first egg and they break it on their forehead. The loser is the one who gets splatted. I also got splatted in the fallout!

Little Hale The former village school is now a scout hut called "Parva House". To the left of it is the village bus shelter, home to several village notice boards. One of King George's postboxes is built into a brick pillar to the right of the school. There is an electrical substation behind the bus shelter, and a water pumphouse beyond the trees on the left. This is a tiny cluster of municipal services, all together, and I am left wondering why. In Victorian times schools were often built on Glebe land, and I wonder if the rest of that parcel of land devolved to the authorities in some way, and became the prime place to put local infrastructure.

Water pumping station I suppose it is a pumping station. I don't really know. But it is owned by Anglian Water. I know that because of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6200391">TF1441 : Signage at the waterworks</a>
