Morris dancing as seen by a morris dancer.
I've been morris dancing for nearly 40 years and will pass on dancing comments,
songs, music and other morris dancing views from my dancer perspective.

More Morris Dancing notes from Boxing Day The Mummers play and two more Morris dances have now been added to YouTube, the mummers clip is so long I have cut it into two. If you were not there then at least these clips will help give a flavour of the great event.
Whilst going round with our collecting trug I started chatting to a lady and it seems she is very keen to help save the Saiga Antelope. Now all this was very new to me having never come across a Saiga antelope, but not to be deterred she thrust a leaflet into my hand, even quicker than I could pass one of ours to her. She has a delegation of fellow supporters (not antelopes) coming over in June and will bring them along to see us dance, maybe we will then get an invite to go and see the Saiga Antelopes in their home territory of Uzbekistan. If you would like more info on Saiga Antelopes they have a web site www.iccs.org.uk/SaigaAlliance.htm. Now if Google Adsense is bright enough we should have lost our adverts for belly dancers and have quite a few linking you to Antelope sites.
After we finished dancing we retired into the pub for a grand sing song, will tell you all about it in the next blog, got to dash now as we are due to dance over at Thakeham.
