The Bluebell woods in May

 I have recently been given permission to walk in some private woodlands just outside the village. Early in May I invited two of the cameral club ladies to join me in exploring the woodlands and photograph the bluebells.   Unfortunately, we were not able to go until mid-afternoon, but which time, by the time we found the bluebells the light was beginning to fade.










We thought we had better leave as we could hear thunder coming from over the hill and looking up we could see some very dark and dramatic clouds.





Fortunately, we got back to the car without getting wet, but when we arrived in the village we were amazed to see the green was completely white with hailstones.    This is my back garden.

The Morris Dancers in Horsham - May 2023

 We should have guessed when we saw some of the Morris Dancers at the Park and Ride bus stop,but we were not prepared for the large number of Morris Dancers gathered outside the Lynd Cross pub in Horsham.    We went in for coffee and watched even more dancers gathering before groups of them dispersed around the town.    Morris dancing is an English folk dance first recorded in 1448.   The dance is based on rhythmic stepping by a group of dancers, often wearing bells on their knees or shoes.  Sticks, Swords, or handkerchiefs are also wielded in tune with the music. This was obviously well organised as the groups of Morris Dancers moved around the town all morning performing their own particular dance.    These are just a few photos I took on my iPhone as we came across them . The drummers were fantastic. More soon --------------------------
