Chilworth Gunpowder Mills - part 3 - and final

The three Snappy Friends went back to Chilworth Gunpowder Mills one evening about a week later.  This time we walked in the opposite direction to the route taken on our previous visit.   This actually took us out of the area of the Gunpowder Mills and past Chilworth Manor and the vineyard.   Our route took us over a Packhorse Bridge, which had recently been established to be over 1000 years old.  Sorry, no photo - it looked like a very narrow bridge over the river.




















Can you see the dragon?








As you can see, the light was fading fast, so we quickly walked back the way we had come and popped into the pub for a glass of wine!


More photo's soon.

The Morris Dancers in Horsham - May 2023

Image
 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 --------------------------
