Levellers day May 16th Burford
Getting ready – to march them up to the top of the hill – but fortunately not to march them down again!
We processed to the recreation ground at the top of the town from the church at the bottom
At the top the musicians, apart from playing splendidly played that old game – see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and wot me evil! Your guess!
After a massively fun May Morning, we’ve even popped up in some of the media.
First up was the Daily Mail website. You’ll have to scroll down a long way, but you’ll find this:
The Mail bought that picture off Getty Images. Getty have some others of the morning, including a fine portrait of John our Foreman.
Even the Twitterati took notice. This next one was even retweeted by Val McDermid, the crime writer.
May day 2015 – dancing from 515am till much later! Once the beer flowed we forgot we had started so early and no one can recall when we stopped! Ben made a welcome appearance – keen to dance out – or keen to sample fine ale at 6am – your guess! Our two youngest members got a good workout before going on to school! Some of the more mature members had to lie down in a darkened room later in the day!!
may day – a fine band of minstrels
First dance out of the year – 2015 The 8 Bells at Eaton – a splendid sunny evening maybe a first Morris with cello!
“If you add the ages of the two youngest dancers together and double, it you’ve got my age!” said a thoughtful member.
“What, 68?”
“Oh no: maybe not!”
Are they younger or is she?
