Happy May Day and Beltane. We were up to dance in the dawn with @pboromorris. You can't take chances with ensuring the summer will arrive, lockdown or no.

Some excellent portraits, including a particularly handsome one of our Cockerel. Well done @tarynrferguson

Keeping a note of all the dances I'm learning with @pboromorris. This week I finally felt able to double-step but almost completely forgot my left and right.

Happy 40th @pboromorris, here's to another 40 💙💛

Yesterday was made great by our mates @pboromorris Bedcote morris, reps from @WhitchurchMorr1 @DevilsDykeMM @CambridgeMorris @LeicesterMorris former Ring Squires (and Jockey associates) @Rushcartlad and Paul Reece and partners & great supporters Ellie, Alison, Vicky and Carolyn.

@commonor_garden Ah! A second edition I see

My second time dancing tonight with @pboromorris and it was a joy, a frustrating joy. Glad to see Cecil Sharp agrees that Morris is not, and perhaps should not be, an easy thing to learn.

Welcome, Adam! @commonor_garden

Peterborough Morris Annual Day of Dance today. I’m reminded of this photograph that I took of levitating Morris men during the Peterborough Heritage Festival @pboromorris

Thanks to @pboromorris for a tremendous day of dance yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed it from pub breakfast to pub wind down!

Men of all ages are invited to join us for this year’s beginners event in Fletton tomorrow evening. No prior experience necessary. #Peterborough #morrisdancing #getfit facebook.com/events/6750454…

Some highlights from our dawn dancing on 1 May. Thanks to Paul Marriott Photography for the aerial shot and Richard Simons for the others, and The Queensgate Hotel and Sweet Olives Restaurant for an early breakfast!
