St. George’s Day
Yesterday I celebrated St. George’s Day in Leintwardine, at The Sun Inn, one of the few remaining ‘Parlour Pubs’ in England. We started by dancing in procession from one end of town to the other, behind St George and the Dragon - although the horse didn’t like the music! After the heroic St George had slayed the Dragon and supped a celebratory glass of Hobsons ale we danced outside the pub. The glorious weather and friendly landlord made for a fabulous afternoon. Hopefully this will become an annual event in our Dance calender.
A Cats Life
The cat has certainly been enjoying the beautiful Spring weather of late! I caught Toffee cat-napping on the bench yesterday afternoon. The last of our ewes has finally lambed - resulting in 4 doubles, 1 single and an adopted lamb joining our small flock. Unfotunately one ewe lost her lamb but John was able to get an orphan lamb from a neghbour and hopefully our ewe will raise it as her own.
Normandy Clog
Normandy 2010
I took a weekend off from the B&B and travelled to Normandy with Crooked Steeple Morris. We were very well received by the French, dancing in Trouville, Honfleur and St Pierrre sur Dives. Everyone rose to the occasion and we produced our best dancing ever! Many thanks to Nic and Linda for organising such a great time!
If you want to see us dance we will be at The Sun Inn, Leintwardine on Saturday 24th April at 2pm and at Upton Folk Festival on Sunday 2nd May.
