1st June – a biblical thunderstorm and a great dance out!

A favourite dance out – Marston Court Care Home – a very much appreciative audience and great scones!

 Look carefully for Barbara’s coach who cannot help but offer guidance from the sidelines – a great jig! Thence to the Victoria Arms

One the rain started we retreated indoors when Lelesy showed us her Mick Jagger impression – good eh!   And Isabelle showed us her goldfish impression!

The evening ends in woe – the squire getting crocked by the ground! One sprained ankle later! -Caption competition – on a tenner answers to me – what is she saying or thinking in each or either picture.  Lesley steps in a nurse and health visitor and gives advice on injury management but also can’t resist mentioned the importance of diet, alcohol and play in development and the risks of head lice – you can’t take the the HV out of a Morris dancer!
