The Country Fair (clarification)A Story by JohnLMorris DancersAn Explanation
It occurred to me when I entered The country Fair Contest that Morris Dancers are very English. Other countries may have equivalents but not quite the real thing. The picture I use here is of a group in Essex and is typical. Don't let Dancing Men kid you - these men are tough and their excercise makes them very thirsty, hence their liking for the beer tent. I've had some good times with Morris men - though I wouldn't do the dancing for a gold clock. I was simply going to change the Avatar and insert this, but I liked the bull too much so left it alone on the story. I'm sorry for the quality of this picture, but it is out of a newspaper - I think it will give the idea OK though. hope my American friends will have a better idea now what Morris Men are like. Loads of tradition behind them. John © 2008 JohnL |
